Analysing the mistakes in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story

#3 The MS Dhoni-Priyanka Jha part

A still from the biopic

Even before the release of MS Dhoni’s biopic, it was revealed that the biopic will have portions of MS Dhoni’s love story with Priyanka Jha. And the makers didn’t disappoint as they showed how Dhoni met Priyanka, how they spent their time together and about the tragic incident in which Priyanka lost her life after meeting with an accident.

In the movie, it was portrayed that Dhoni met Priyanka en route to Vizag from Kochi after the first ODI against Pakistan in 2005 and the duo spent most of their time together till India’s tour of Pakistan in 2006. According to the movie, Priyanka met with an accident on 14 February 2006, which is false. In fact, the entire depiction of the MS Dhoni-Priyanka Jha part in the movie is wrong.

It was way back in the year 2002 when he was aspiring to be an Indian cricketer that Dhoni met Priyanka. When the wicket-keeper was with the India A squad in 2003-04 for a tri-series in Kenya, Priyanka lost her life due to an accident. She never saw Dhoni playing an ODI for India.
