MS Dhoni, a legendary cricketer who appears to be a natural leader, has frequently rescued India or Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from perilous situations in the past. Even players have flourished under his leadership while receiving the best advice imaginable in the game. Speaking on the same topic, former cricketer Aakash Chopra heaped praise on the CSK captain and discussed how Dhoni brings out the best in players.
Chopra believes that while other teams acquire athletes, Dhoni is the one who creates them. The commentator added, using the examples of Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube, that the 41-year-old has the inherent ability to foster player growth.
“Ajinkya Rahane enjoys Bangalore and batted exceptionally well during his tenure there. In addition, Shivam Dube batted very well. He was previously a member of the RCB and the Rajasthan Royals, but what do you see with MS Dhoni? “All other teams find players, but MS Dhoni creates players,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
It is heartwarming to see the athletes succeed under MS Dhoni leadership: Chopra
“It is heartening to see the athletes succeeding under his leadership. Shivam Dube’s story remains the same, whereas Ajinkya Rahane’s performance in the two or three matches he has played has been distinct. “What a shot!” he added, referring to his six-run hit.
Dube and Rahane were in excellent rhythm in Chennai’s most recent IPL 2023 match, with the former contributing 52 runs off 27 balls and the latter contributing 37 runs off 20 balls. CSK compiled a solid total of 226 runs on the strength of Devon Conway’s magnificent 83 off 45. With Faf du Plessis (62 from 33 balls) and Glenn Maxwell (76 from 36 balls) at the crease, it appeared that RCB would cross the finish line well within 20 overs. CSK won the high-scoring thriller by eight runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium thanks to breakthroughs at crucial moments and Dhoni’s calm demeanor.
