Mahendra Singh Dhoni under the Cloud of Suspicion

Mahendra Singh Dhoni enjoys a privilege of 4 years of captaincy and has surfaced as one of the most successful captains of the Indian Cricket Team. This successful captain led the team to the number one position in the ICC Test Rankings for the first time in the year 2009 in December. Started his career with the shortest format of the game and immediately led India to ICC World Twenty20 victory in South Africa in September 2009.

Presently, this Indian Cricketer was facing problems  as he was presumed as guilty of corrupt conduct, but has recently been  discharged from the allegations by The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as the team gave a statement to the Supreme Court and that the allegations are false. The Indian captain has been maligned by the media as was stated by BCCI representatives, who is the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team, which is owned by N Srinivasan, whose son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was accused for illegal betting in the series of IPL, in 2013.

Kapil Dev stated, "If Dhoni is fit enough, there should be no doubt because he is one of the finest batsmen we have and coming in at number 6-7 and averaging more than 50, why should we have any doubts. Somebody who has won us the World Cup, the T20 World Cup... why do we even talk about it and bring doubts in people's mind".

Soon after returning victorious in the World Twenty20, he was  made the India's one-day international captain for the seven-match ODI series against Australia in September 2007. After serving the team as vice-captain for a while, Dhoni was made full-time Test captain of India during the fourth Test against Australia at Nagpur in November 2008 replacing Anil Kumble, who announced his retirement after the third Test. Dhoni made his mark in the international cricket soon after his ODI debut in December 2004 against Bangladesh. He scored a match-winning 148 against Pakistan in Vishakapatnam off 123 balls in his fifth ODI and announced his arrival in the international arena. Dhoni made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in December 2005. Similar to his one-day career, he slammed his maiden century (148) against Pakistan in 2006. His maiden ton came off 93 balls and is the fastest hundred scored by an Indian wicket-keeper.

Arun Pandey, Dhoni's agent and owner of Rhiti Sports, Dhoni said, "I haven't seen the report yet. The matter is subjudice and scheduled for hearing in the Supreme Court on March 7, so till then, I would like to request people to refrain from speculating."

There is a contrary statement that Dhoni might or might not be among the six Indian players, reported by Mudgal Committee to the Supreme Court in a sealed envelope. The committee is having further investigations for all the players, whose names are mentioned in the sealed envelope.
