Indian Cricket Team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni found himself among the list of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for the year 2010. The magazine rated him above football icon Lionel Messi and even US President Barack Obama. He become the only second sports indian sports personality to enter the list,previously Sachin Tendulkar had featured on the list.
