5 Top players which MS Dhoni gave to Virat Kohli
31 and 25 players debuted under Dhoni in One-day Internationals and Test cricket respectively.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin started his career when under Dhoni in 2010. He was a part of IPL winning campaign of CSK as well, making his place in the team for 2011 ODI World Cup. After Anil Kumble retired and Harbhajan Singh was at the end of his peak, India was looking for their next superstar spinner and Ashwin came into the picture.
He made an excellent partnership with Pragyan Ojha in the initial days of his career and later with Jadeja. He already has 7 Man of the Series awards out 27 series he has played in Test cricket. Ashwin’s batting credentials can’t be denied as well. He was once No.1 Test all-rounder too.
When Kohli became captain, Ashwin was already a match-winner for India in all three formats. Though, after India faced failure in 2017 Champions Trophy, India stuck to the leg spinners in limited-overs but Ashwin is regarded as one of the best spinners in Test cricket at the moment. He might end up as arguably the best finger spinner India ever had.
