Just how big a name has Mahendra Singh Dhoni become.
For his opponents, he is certainly more threatening than Mogambo, Gabbar Singh and Shakaal put together.
No one has seen where Dhoni was from a few moments after he hit the six to bring home the World Cup till the time he was called on by Ravi Shastri for an interview. And then he went missing again. No one saw him lift the cup later, either
That makes him invisibler than Mr. India and more secretive than James Bond.
At the post match press conference he charmed reporters with giggles that were more genuine and had more warmth than any Miss India that went on to become Miss World.
That makes him an object of Abhishek Bacchan's affection. That's big.
His "Well Of Course...." will soon topple "Are O'Samba" as the most repeated line by Indians.
He has cricket's equivalent of "7 Khoon Maaf" by admitting that he made an error in judgement in a game with Pakistan. No Indian cricket captain (not even Azharuddin) has ever admitted to making a mistake for fear of being hanged to death.
That makes him bigger than Priyanka Chopra and Vishal Bharadwaj - both the music and film director.
His last ball six will resonate for a long time with Sri Lankans; who like Dr Dang will be vowing an echo of the echo of the six. And while Dilip Kumar's hit, was heard only as far as theaters in India; it makes Dhoni's hit which was telecast live world wide; better than Rana Vishwapratap Singh's.

...perhaps even bigger than Salman Khan.
AndDareISayBiggerThanSachiinTendukar... there I said it. I hope I survive this. If I do, its all thanks to Sachin.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has, saved a Test match at Lords, won the T20 World Cup (and since then they have stopped calling it the World Cup - which makes him the only one to do it) The IPL, The Champions League, the last edition of the tri - series in Australia, has led India to number 1 in Test rankings and now he has won the 50 over World Cup.
More importantly no one has noticed he is still to win the 60 over cup.
With so much already accomplished, and assuming that he is not amongst the selfish, egoistic sports stars who are obsessed with "calling it a day while they are still at the top"; another way to look at how big MS has become is to comprehend what else he needs to accomplish for him to keep his career graph ascending.
Sit down with the Israelis, Palestinians and President Obama and show them how to bring peace to the middle east. Solve the Kashmir issue, convince the world that global warming is just how God designed it to be, eradicate the world from all cyclones, floods, hurricanes (except the Nikhanj dude from Haryana), earthquakes and tsunamis, make cars run on water....
If MS accomplishes the cricket equivalent of the above, in the next 1-2 years. His career graph may continue its upward trend...
...Slightly

"convince the world that global warming is just how God designed it to be"
Rise of temperature due to rise of CO2 in the world is Human Made. Very simple to understand grade 7, CO2 cycle. :) God has nothing to do with it :)
You cut down the tree --> Co2 level rises, --> water evaporation increases --> ICE melts from north --> O2 goes back to atmosphere --> so total percentage of O2 remains the same. But this will continue only till we have ICE left in North pole and South pole.
and I didn't even mention the increase in human population which will increase CO2.
But Don't worry. Enough people are working on this. Let MSD plays his cricket. :D
since yu are going strong on pjs grod, here is an sms fwd for you....
'anhoni ko honi karde, honi ko anhoni.......
ek jagah jab jama ho teenho...
Rajni, Ghajini or Dhoni'
"kali maa...shakti de."
The caricature is scary awesome!
the monk who sold his fears...
Terrific pencil work! This might be the image that'll keep haunting Kulasekara in his sleep for quite some time!
But how dare you say Dhoni is bigger than RAJNI?!!! Sure, he can smash the ball like a tracer bullet... but can he split a tracer bullet with his finger?!!! Bolo, bolo...
Cheers!

Thanks all!
SP, that's a good one. The monk who sold his fear-ari
Anon #2,
I have said Dhoni is bigger than SRT and Rajni for a whole 18 hours and survived. So it must be true
