M.S.Dhoni did not start his ODI career on a successful note. He started his ODI career against Bangladesh in 2004 with a duck. Worse he was run out after playing one ball. It was a trying time for M.S since Rahul Dravid was in as a part-time wicketkeeper and there was Parthiv Patel also just waiting to be selected.
