When the whole country is suffering from Dhoni fever thanks to the release of his biopic, 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story', how can his former teammates abstain from seeing the movie? Much like any commoner, former Indian batsman, Mohammad Kaif  was highly impressed by the 3 hours and 10 minutes' emotional drama but had one objection to a certain portrayal of himself in the film.

The Sushant Singh Rajput starrer biopic which showcases the struggles and glories of the most successful Indian captain, replicates each and every aspect of the diminutive leader. There's a sequence in the film where Dhoni's ODI debut is portrayed. Incidentally, the Ranchi lad was run out on a duck in his very first international game which was played in the year 2004 at Chittagong against Bangladesh.

Coming in to bat at no. 7, Mahi was found short of his crease after trying to run a single by guiding the ball to short fine leg. Kaif was the batsman at the non-striker's end who sent back the debutant as it was too risky to take a run of that ball. However, in the movie, as soon as Dhoni's gets run out, his disappointed childhood friends say, "Kaif ka galti tha".

It is this instance which is bothering Kaif and he took to Twitter to clarify what happened on that day and went into flashback by revisiting the day when he first met Dhoni. "Saw MS Dhoni - The Untold Story. Dhoni's story is an inspiration and this movie should inspire the youth to catch the train of their dreams. My first encounter with Dhoni was in the Deodhar Trophy match shown in the film between Central Zone and East Zone. I was leading Central Zone and Dhoni scored a quickfire 84 for East Zone and we lost the match. In the movie though, in his run out in his first ODI, Dhoni's friends said, Kaif ka galti tha. Nahi bhai, mera galti nahi tha. But, phenomenal life story and an inspirational man - Mahendra Singh Dhoni."

The film, which was released last Friday, is not only winning the hearts of the fans but also scoring big in Box Office as it has already earned a total of Rs 74.51 crore in four days.
