I have inquired with my friends about the online voting system. I will vote for my former rival teammate Dhoni, said Ajay Kumar,who had represented Youth Sporting as all-rounder and played against Railways and Commando Club represented by Dhoni in 1996-97 Ranchi cricket league. I hope Dhoni would give India the award for the second straight year after Sachin Tendulkar got the inaugural award last year. My family members will vote for Dhoni, said Chanchal Bhattacharya,who used to be the coach of Commando Club when Dhoni use to represent the team. Stating that Dhoni's parents had called on him on June 6,Bhattacharya said their family members were happy to learn Dhoni being nominated among the five players vying for the coveted award. Winning the World cup and his innovative game plans will see through Dhoni on the top of the chart, said former Bihar captain Adil Hussain.
