In the tri-nation tournament with Kenya and Pakistan, he helped India A chase down 223 against their arch-rivals with a half-century, following up with consecutive centuries, scoring 362 runs in six innings at an average of 72.40. He caught the attention of then Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and interim coach Ravi Shastri, who took him in the ODI squad that toured Bangladesh in 2004.

But in between all these, Dhoni reportedly suffered a major setback as Priyanka was tragically killed in an accident. The diminutive skipper after returning from the overseas tour spent a whole year struggling to come to terms with the sudden demise of his lady love.

Those close to him feared that he might fall apart, but Dhoni showcased grit and determination on the green turf time and again, did an encore off it to claw his way back to normal life and tour Bangladesh with a star-studded Indian outfit.

The right-hander was unlucky to be dismissed on a naught in his very first game against Bangladesh, but he made his impression in the second match of the ODI series versus Pakistan at Vishakhapatnam in 2005. He scored 148 off 123 deliveries, surpassing the earlier record for the highest score by an Indian gloves man, a record that he would rewrite before the year ended.

Post that, everything is history as Dhoni rose through the ranks and finally became the skipper of the Men in Blue. But even after his marriage with Sakshi Singh Rawat, on July 4, 2010, Dhoni reportedly could never forget Priyanka.
