Visakhapatnam, April 5: On this day, 15 years ago, MS Dhoni announced himself in international cricket with a bludgeoning hundred against Pakistan here and never looked back.

It was Dhoni's 5th ODI on April 5 in 2005 and he did not have a great start to his career with poor shows in the first four matches. But under then skipper and now BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, Dhoni was fortunate to get a long rope and he repayed the faith showed on him in grand fashion by smashing 148 off 123 balls with 15 boundaries and 4 sixes.
