5 lump in the throat moments from MS Dhoni: The Untold Story

#2 When he got selected for India A team

After a few successful showings in the Ranji Trophy and Coach Behar Trophy, MS Dhoni did not get selected for the U-19 World Cup squad. After that heartbreaking decision, he took it upon himself to work harder and perform better.

He turned his attention to practical matters as well. He moved to Kharagpur, West Bengal where he was offered a job in the Railways as a ticket collector and a spot in the divisional Railways cricket team.

In the 2002-03 season, he was playing for the divisional team of Railways, as well as for the East Zone, Bihar. He also played for Durga Sporting, a tennis-ball cricket club where he became popular for his hard hitting and huge sixes.

He was not able to balance his job at the railways and his life on the field and was feeling quite depressed as he spoke to Animesh Kumar Ganguly, who was his boss. Ganguly told him to treat the problems in his life as bouncers and to duck them.

Dhoni could not handle the pressure anymore and took a really hard decision to quit the railways. By quitting, he was able to put all his attention to cricket and the results were evident when he finally got selected for the India A team to tour Kenya for a triangular series.

He was playing badminton when his friends came jumping in to tell him that he got selected. The humble man that Dhoni is, he did not show much emotion and continued to play badminton and told his friends that he would meet them later.

The struggle he went through, difficult decisions made by him along with the hard work was something that brought about a lump in our throat while watching the movie.
