The high-voltage match between arch-rivals, India and Pakistan at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019/] in Manchester is just a day away. As India [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-india/] takes on Pakistan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-pakistan/] in their fourth ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Cricket_World_Cup] match on June 16, a beautiful story between MS Dhoni and his die-hard Pakistani fan, Mohammad Bashir aka ‘Chacha Chicago’ continues with MS Dhoni [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ms-dhoni/] following the tradition to send him the tickets of Indo-Pak match. MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/721e5012-2292-11e8-81db-e6399ce35310.jpg] Bashir after arriving in England told PTI, “I arrived here yesterday and saw that people are ready to pay as much as 800-900 pounds for a ticket. A return ticket from Chicago costs the same. Thanks to Dhoni, I don’t have to struggle for a match ticket.” The bond between MS Dhoni and ‘Chacha Chicago’ developed during the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, held in India. The then captain of the Indian cricket team, MS Dhoni went out of his way to arrange a ticket for Bashir ahead of the marquee clash between India and Pakistan in semifinals in Mohali. MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/MS-Dhoni-Basheer-Chacha.jpg] Bashir praised MS Dhoni for his kind gesture. He said in a statement, “Imagine I get the ticket for free when most would pay a fortune for it. I have got a surprise gift for him this time and I hope to give it to him later today.” Bashir continued, “I don’t call him as he is so busy. I keep in touch only through text messages. Long before I came here, MS Dhoni assured me of the ticket. He is a great human being. I can’t think of anyone else doing what he has done for me since that 2011 game in Mohali. MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image-22.jpg] The 63-year-old Mohammad Bashir has connections with India besides his bonding with Dhoni. Bashir’s wife is from Hyderabad and they often visit the country. Bashir, with his family, also runs a restaurant in Chicago and that’s why the name, “Chacha Chicago”. He is a die-hard cricket fan. Bashir was in Saudi Arabia with his son during the holy month of Ramadan before arriving in the UK said, “It is not easy with my medical condition. Maybe I am alive only for cricket.” “Chacha Chicago” will undoubtedly support MS Dhoni and the ‘Men in Blue’ during their match against the ‘Green Army’ at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 on Sunday.

Bashir aka ‘Chacha Chicago’ continues with MS  Dhoni following the tradition.

ICC Cricket World Cup History
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a competition that takes place every four years.?The tournament is considered one of the world's most viewed sporting events. The first ever ICC Cricket World Cup took place in 1975 in England. Interestingly, the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the Men's, namely in 1973.
There are no restrictions for playing in the World Cup, but the top eight ranked teams gain automatic qualification, while the remaining seats are fought for in a qualifier tournament. A total of 20 teams have played in an ICC Cricket World Cup game, but the number of participants has dwindled over the years.
For the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, only 10 teams will participate, including two qualifiers. This is a far cry from 14 teams that took part in 2015.
The next ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in 2023 for men. In addition to that, the next ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in 2021.

Profile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni represents the old guard in Indian cricket. He made his debut in the national side back in 2004 for the ODI team. A year later, MS Dhoni made his maiden Test appearance and finally, in 2006, he kicked off his T20 career.

The 37-year old has been a stalwart in the Indian team and he has brought a lot of success to the team. Back in 2014, he announced his retirement from Test cricket, but has continued to play in limited overs.

IPL Career

MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has stuck around the IPL since its inception. He joined the Chennai Super Kings for a fee of $1.5 million, making him the most expensive player at the time.

Since then, he has remained with the side until IPL 2015. In 2016 and 2017, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant after CSK were banned. But now, he is back in the yellow jersey and once again performing well.

During his tenure with CSK, MS Dhoni has lead the team to three IPL championships, including back-to-back wins. In essence, they are the first team to ever defend their title.

Even with Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni's troops were not to be trifled with and they were a force to be reckoned with. In fact, in 2017, Pune even reached the final, losing to eventual champions, Mumbai.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to IPL 2019, the Chennai Super Kings are on the hunt for their second back-to-back title win. If they do win, it will be their 4th ever and they will break the deadlock with the Mumbai Indians.

However, the competition will be tougher than ever. All the teams will be eager to put a stop to the CSK juggernaut. MS Dhoni is a capable leader and is no stranger to the winning mentality.

One thing that CSK is known for is, valuing experience over youth and they have opted for that same strategy in IPL 2019.
