MS Dhoni

on the topic of overturning things

August 1, 2011

this is where it all began. Even when MSD was young and nimble, he had the habit of overturning things. So much so, that he even pledged:   Also, here is an interesting anecdote: During the 17th Century, the kids of farmers used to play a game quite akin to what we call cricket. With [...]
