Mahi is like his name denotes...big hearted and big thinking.....i know one thing for sure whenever he enters the field he plays cricket for his country and not to break or make records....i am happy he has got success in such a short span of time....he entered late into International cricket unlike sachin who came in young,saw and conquered..i will compare Dhoni to Gilchrist rather than Sachin.best wishes and congrats to dhoni. 👏

i can talk about mahi for long hrs 😆 😆

hes just awesum...hez my mind blowing mahiya 😳 😆 as a cricketor he has done a wonderful job so far..

as a captain..hes only the second to win india a world cup after kapil dev..that speaks alot for him..
as a person..hez so calm, cool n composed..despite of all the media attraction, girl's attraction 😆 n the money hez getting, he so grounded...sweeet..simple..loving..adorable..

u know when he returned to his city ranchi after winning the T20 WC..just as other state authorities, his state too gifted him a car n a cash amount of 15 lakhs but he at that very moment gave all the money to the relief fund..he isnt a greedy person at all..he knows that all the money that hez getting is only because of his cricket...n cricket remains his topmost priority 😳 i just simple love watching him in the interviews..n hez a really funny guy 😆

i wuld say hez a very simple person with a big heart n some swashbucking cricketing skills 😃

now will i get a prize for saying such a long speech on mahi? 😆 😆 j/k
