8 Indian cricketers who deserved a biopic before MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's biopic, directed by Neeraj Pandey, is just a few days away from its release on September 30. The movie is supposed to be a tale of how Dhoni made his way through life struggles to become one of India's  most successful captains. While we expect MS Dhoni's film to be a box-office hit, we look at other Indian cricketers on whom we would like biopic to be made.

Yuvraj Singh

Soon after winning the Man of the Series in the World Cup 2011, Yuvraj Singh faced the biggest challenge of his life being diagnosed with cancer. But he fought the illness and made a comeback to the team.

Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag's extraordinary career includes two triple-centuries in tests despite most critics initially writing him off as only suitable for ODIs. His ability to prove most people wrong and his peculiar wit off the field would make for an interesting watch.

Anil Kumble

Kumble is one of the toughest cricketers India has seen. Academically, he was an engineer but he decided to stick to cricket. His ten-wicket haul against Pakistan in a test match innings in Delhi would be the highlight, if a biopic were to be made.

Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly is credited for changing the way India played cricket. He led an aggressive team which performed well overseas also.

Rahul Dravid

Dravid, known as The Wall in the cricketing world, was underestimated in his early career as someone who could not score runs fast enough and only bat in Tests. Dravid proved everybody wrong and became the main player in India's middle order in ODIs for a long time.

Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar was one of the very few batsmen who back in the days successfully faced fast West Indian bowlers who evoked fear in most batsmen. The preparation he must have made to take on the challenge would make for an interesting tale.

Kapil Dev

From Kapil Dev's humble beginnings in Haryana to leading India to its first World Cup win, back in 1983, would make a fascinating film on the big screen

Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi

Fondly known as Tiger Patuadi, the former captain of the Indian team had a glorified cricketing career. At a young age of 21, he was appointed captain of the Indian team. Patuadi also published his autobiography, Tiger's Tale, in the year 1969.
