Top 11 Players who credited their success to MS Dhoni

5. Ishant Sharma:

While failing to make many appearances for India since June 2014, Ishant Sharma was out of sorts and looked for support on and off the field to get back to confident ways. India pacer in an interview with a daily spoke about the kind of support skipper MS Dhoni gave him when he was down and out after missing the 2015 World Cup due to a knee injury.

“Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) handled me very well at a time when I was emotionally down. You want to be a part of such a team.If captains like Mahibhai tell you that you have to jump from the 24th floor, you would readily do that without thinking even once. Mahi Bhai helped me a great deal to cope with the disappointment,” were the words of the lanky paceman.
