India is a cricket-mad nation and the BCCI calls the shots in the world of cricket primarily because the Indian cricket fan has made the sport what it is. There are fans that absolutely adore cricketers and they go to great lengths to revere their heroes. One such fan stays in Ranchi, the land which gave us Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
