“MS Dhoni has always been there when you are on there on the field. As a wicketkeeper, its his roles to guide the team. You can expect it from everyone but not everyone can do it,” Jaydev Unadkat stated in an exclusive interview with Cricketaddictor.

“MSD did that in the best way possible even after not being the skipper of the side in 2017. To set the right fielders at the right angles and he always used to do that which doesn’t really look important from the outside but it’s very essential for a bowler’s success and a team’s success. There can’t be a better tactical person on the field like MS Dhoni” Unadkat further added.
