There are few stories for MS Dhoni’s life that still people don’t know and are curious to know. Like Dhoni’s love angle with his late girl-friend Priyanka Jha.

The story got a mention in the biography based on MS Dhoni’s life – MS Dhoni: The untold story. But it was shown in bits and pieces. In the movie, it is shown that Dhoni falls in love with Priyanka while travelling to Vizag for a match against Pakistan. Dhoni hits 148 runs in that match and from there on they become friends.
