Blog Post #119: Dedicated to M S Dhoni

As a keen follower of cricket and someone who watched MSD in awe soaking in pressure time and again and still maintain a calm and cool head, here's a small Mathematics note for the Man who gave enough for Indian fans world over to cheer over the last decade

1929 hrs is the time when he announced his retirement. 

a) As Mayank mentioned in another post, he always had 7 as his lucky number and so 1+9+2+9 adds up to 21 which is a multiple of 7

b) 2020 - 1929 is 91 which is again a multiple of 7 and in spite of our misgivings about Year 2020, MSD probably scored a perfect score there as well and let's remember that he scored 91* in the 2011 World Cup final!

c) 1929 is also 7:29 P.M - 729 is a perfect square and MSD almost always set himself for a perfect finish

d) The number equivalent of the letters in his name M S DHONI (13 + 19 + 4 + 8 + 15 + 14 + 9) adds up to 82 and 1929 + 82 is 2011 which was the year when we won the World cup again under his captaincy!

e) Last but not the least he was fondly called MSD in short - Number equivalent of MSD (13+19+4) adds up to 36 which is "sixer" squared - Yes the helicopter shot was worth 36 always and not a simple 6!
