When Dhoni’s father did not want a son to become a cricketer

At that time, like most of the parents, Pan Singh also wanted Dhoni to focus on studies and do a good job. He did not want his son to make cricket a career, but Dhoni’s elder sister Jayanti Gupta supported him when the family’s trust was not on his cricket career.
Jayanti explained to his father and persuaded him to allow Dhoni to move forward in cricket. Dhoni also worked as a ticket collector in Indian Railways for some time, but his dream was always cricket.
