The word “inspiration” is a fascinating word. It has 💯 percent effect in the Childhood. It can creep to a child from another with an electrifying effect as it is pure keeping away factors of lesser background, being non-judgemental, unaware of ego and no class factor. The learning becomes free flowing, thick, fast and naturally efficient. For someone to go higher with the inspiration kindling their goal from their
heart requires a sense of direction. The Guru is the one who can provide the sense of direction.
A student can choose a teacher and not a Guru. The Guru can only choose a disciple when they feel all attributes are evident and their gutsometer (made up word for judging) project a promising forecast. As it is in any field, a promising cricketer need a Guru.
The boy picked from a football field then trained on a cricket field made a natural leap scaling heights. A player had the attributes to become a captain and then turned everything into gold whatever he touched. Growing senior, he then shared the gold dust to inspire others. As it all happened naturally, everyone looked at him with great respect. A reciprocating respect within the sport and beyond sport.
The word “Thala” gives good goose-bumpy shivers in our spine and brings his fellow cricketers and his fans in a same playing field. I mean same playing field referring to everyone looking at Thala with awe for his achievements and humbleness.
By announcing to step down captaincy of CSK, identifying Jadeja as Captain and continuing to play for CSK takes back to 💯 percent Inspiration in its purest form. Sir Jadeja has ticked all the boxes in MSD’s eyes and came out good in MSD’s forecast gutsometer.
The unfold of the entire episode makes Thala go beyond by making Jaddu as Captain and grooming him playing alongside. It is evident that MSD has accepted Jaddu as his disciple. We have seen players transition from one to another but to make the transition and do hand holding with the next generation portray the humbleness and great sport visionary that M.S Dhoni possess.
A big salute to MSD. My hero, forever.
