5 Prominent trump cards of MS Dhoni

5. Kedar Jadhav:

Jadhav was the surprise package in the India – New Zealand series and the latest man to emerge as MS Dhoni’s trump card. With only 1 First Class wicket under his name before this series, No one expected Jadhav to pick top order wickets of the Black Caps. He hogged the limelight more for his batting and wicket-keeping skills and was not really known for his bowling exploits.

But, if MS Dhoni is assured of your abilities and that you can create an impact then the chances of failure are negligible. In the first ODI at Dharamsala, Dhoni stunned everyone by throwing the ball to Jadhav. On a green bouncy wicket, he was expected to bowl only a couple of overs before the frontline bowlers came back to the action.

However, his off-spin caught the Kiwis off-guard and he returned with figures of 2/6. It was surprising most felt the accidental bowler was lucky. But, his dream runs continued in the nest two games at Delhi and Mohali where he snapped 11/11 and 3/29 respectively to become the second highest wicket taker with 6 wickets to his name.
