One of the most successful captains of India, M S Dhoni Had a huge impact on many Indian players – as a leader and a strategist who imparted a lot of knowledge to many players to boost their confidence. Suresh Raina, who has played most part of his career under MS Dhoni, recently revealed how the Chennai Super Kings captain influences players.
In a recent interview, Raina said that Dhoni taught a lot of useful lessons not only to him but also to other players. “Dhoni bhai has always taught that a match is not over until it is actually over (until the last ball is bowled). This dialogue of his always gives a message to every player to fight till the end.”
The former India batsman also spoke of Dhoni’s reprimand. Raina said that he also got a lot of reprimand from the captain, especially when a catch was missed. “Dhoni used to say that keep in mind, the catch can come in slip and when the catch is missed, he says I already told you,” Raina said.
Raina said that since he used to be the wicketkeeper and also the captain of the team, he was in a good position to determine the fielding placements.
Dhoni and Raina have played a lot of cricket together and they share a very good relationship. This is visible not only on the field but also off the field. When Dhoni retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, Raina also announced his retirement after just an hour on the same day.
Although Raina is a part of CSK and will play for Dhoni in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League.
