Dhoni's Biopic Trailer Causes An Online Goosebumps Epidemic

Oh Mahi God!
FoxStarHindi/ YouTube

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is an inspiration to millions. Called 'Captain Cool' for keeping his temper on and off the field, Dhoni ended India's 28-year-long wait to bring the World Cup home by hitting the winning six against Sri Lanka in the finals at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in 2011.

Such is the scale of his achievement that even when he's actively playing cricket and leading team India in limited-overs formats, there's already a biopic being produced to chart the boy from Jharkhand's epic journey from struggle to success.

On Thursday, the trailer for M.S. Dhoni -- The Untold Story was released on YouTube, and soon Dhoni and Sushant Singh Rajput, who's portraying Dhoni in the biopic, took to Twitter.

As I walked the path, the journey became my life. Here's a glimpse of it. https://t.co/tNaMmQosSa

This should be really interesting. The trailer of the Dhoni film. Especially given how private he's been. https://t.co/zQmox0GAIe

The biggest contribution in making Dhoni an international cricketer is by UPA. Aaj toh Kharagpur station pe WiFi ke signal dhoond raha hota

What do you think about the movie?

Dhoni: Everybody performed well but the movie was short of 20-30 minutes. #DhoniBiopic#DhoniTrailer

Goosebumps even before watching the trailer.

SAME.

Will not be surprised if "goosebumps" trends in India instead of Dhoni.

— José Covaco (@HoeZaay) August 11, 2016

And an important piece of advice...

Call your doctor if your goosebumps lasts more than 4 hours after watching #MSDhoniTrailer
