The biopic glosses over the coup of 2007. When Dhoni was handed the T20 captaincy, the senior players (the "Fab Five") were either injured or rested. The narrative is that he won the World Cup. The untold story is the mutiny that nearly happened after it.
Dhoni, the wicket-keeper, would stand up to the stumps to fast bowlers just to challenge the batsmen. He was trying to manufacture wickets out of dust. The untold story is the Adelaide Test of 2012.

Dhoni replied, "Can you make this pitch turn from day one? They (Australia) are playing on concrete."
To please his father, Dhoni takes a job as a Ticket Collector (TTE) at Kharagpur Railway Station. Despite the security of the job, he struggles with depression until he eventually quits to pursue cricket as his sole ambition.
