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

#1 When he decided to quit railways and focus on cricket

Dhoni spent a lot of time on this bench at Kharagpur Railway station.

After joining the railways as a ticket collector, MS Dhoni was finding it extremely hard to balance his work life with his cricket life. Due to this, he was issued with a show-cause notice for being irregular in showing up for duty in the railways. It had come to a point where his well wisher Animesh Kumar Ganguly could not help him either.

Dhoni was sitting on Platform no. 8 of Kharagpur railway station thinking about his life and wondering if he would ever become a big cricketer. The struggle he was going through was shown through his emotions which were displayed.

While sitting on the platform, he sees an empty train approach and doors open.

It was that moment when he got a premonition of sorts as he heard thousands of people chant “Dhoni, Dhoni, Dhoni.” He imagined himself walking out on the cricket ground and becoming a successful cricketer.

We then see Dhoni jump on the train and bid goodbye to his job at the railways. It was a quick decision which turned out to be a life-changing one for Dhoni.
