MS Dhoni carries a huge experience gagged to his name. He is one of the best cricketing minds to have played the game. He can often be heard giving advices to his bowlers from behind the stumps. Kuldeep Yadav is very thankful to MS Dhoni for always being there to help him.
Kuldeep Yadav said
“When you have two legends, Virat (Kohli) and Mahi, one is leading the team and the other has led the team, it is helpful. As a spinner, Mahi bhai does 50 percent of your work because he has played so much cricket, he reads the batsmen easily”.
The young spinner further added
“We are youngsters and we don’t have that much experience. That is why he (Dhoni) keeps telling me what to do in what situation. And the mindset comes from the captain. Virat bhai always tells us one extra wicket is more important than trying to save 10 runs. If your captain tells you that, then you start believing in yourself”.
A player of MS Dhoni’s class being so cordial to youngsters is an beautiful thing. It’s also beautiful to learn that Kuldeep Yadav respects Mahi and Virat Kohli a lot for making things comfortable for the youngsters.
We hope Mahi keeps encouraging youngsters like this and these young talents feel empowered as long as Dhoni stands behind the stumps.
