MS Dhoni, in a recent interview with The Print, shared one of the reasons how he plays the game well. He said that he learnt a lot from the seniors that he came across.
Dhoni might have a limited batting technique but his lofty standards of punching and counterpunching techniques in crunch situations is what presses the strong case.
It is because of playing and sharing a great deal of rapport with the seniors, MS Dhoni was able to cultivate some additional features that helped him to instil power.
“We lived in a colony and were only two or three of us that were of the same age group, the other children were at least five or six years older to us.
Maybe that is one of the reasons that I play cricket well because I have always played cricket with people who were older than me, which meant that they had more power and they understood the game better. Playing with them made me better,” Dhoni said.
