The first time Dhoni stepped into professional cricket was to play for the Central CoalFields Limited (CCL) team. His talent was exceptional and it impressed Deval Sahay. Further, Deval used his contacts in Bihar Cricket Association to push for his selection in the Bihar team. For the 1999–2000 season, Dhoni debuted for the senior Bihar Ranji Team.
Also, he was included in the Bihar U-19 team for the 1998–99 season. He continued to play for Ranji Trophy for over three years. Thereafter, he was picked by BCCI’s small-town talent-spotting initiative TRDW. From then onwards, his career graph only went upwards. He participated in ODI, T-20, IPL, and many International matches. He made a name for himself in the cricketing world.
