5 Prominent trump cards of MS Dhoni

3. Yuvraj Singh

At his prime Yuvraj Singh was the most prized all-rounder in limited overs cricket. The dashing cricketer was a strong competitor who did not give an inch to the opposition. The combination of aggressive batting and canny left-arm spin made him a key one-day player for India.

MS Dhoni was lucky to have a player like him at the early stage of his captaincy much before Suresh rain became his go-to man. Yuvraj, who flourished under the Ganguly’s leadership, proved to be Dhoni’s prime asset for a good period of time. There have been countless occasions where Yuvi has pulled match in India’s favour with his bowling.

During the middle overs, when the game tends to slow down was the time he was very effective. While it is quite tough to pick out one single occasion where MS Dhoni used Yuvi to turn the tables, as there are many. His memorable bowling contribution can definitely be the spell he bowled during the 2011 Cricket World Cup, where he was adjudged the Man of the Tournament.
