Mahendra Singh Dhoni was born in Ranchi, Bihar to Pan Singh and Devaki Devi . Dhoni is a right-handed Batsman and Wicket-keeper . Dhoni is one of the number of wicket-keepers who have come through the ranks of junior and India A cricket teams to represent the national team . M.S.Dhoni was contracted by the Chennai Super Kings for 1.5 Million USD. This made him the most expensive player in the IPL for the first season Auctions which was closely followed by Andrew Symonds Dhoni is the present captain of the Chennai Super Kings team.
