Cricketers Mentored by MS Dhoni |
Dhoni’s backing and influence have changed the careers of multiple cricketers.
1. Kuldeep Yadav
Along with Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav has also been important to India’s success in white-ball cricket in the recent past. The duo have tormented batting line-ups across the world and have found quite a bit of success. However, Kuldeep has also credited MS Dhoni for the success he’s had.
“He always guides us bowlers, whenever he feels the need to get his message across he does it. When the wicketkeeper supports you like that, it becomes easier for the bowler. A lot of times, the bowler is not able to understand the situation but the wicketkeeper understands it better. Mahi bhai is just like that,” Kuldeep as quoted saying in an interview earlier this year.
While Chahal has made an impact only in white-ball cricket, Kuldeep has gone on to make headlines even in Test cricket. The chinaman spinner has played only a few Test matches but has done well in the limited opportunities he’s got. He may be in and out of the side at the moment due to his poor form but he has been key to India’s success in different formats since 2017.
