Cricketers Who Owe Their Career Success To MS Dhoni; Well, where to start and how to start writing on this man? Once in a while, there arrives a cricketer who changes the way of the game. From Sir Don Bradman to Sachin Tendulkar and from Malcolm Marshall, Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath to the latest Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada, all took the game of cricket to the next level with their exceptional skills.

One such cricketer is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who changed the face of the Indian cricket. With his astute captaincy and the extraordinary character, he lifted the Indian National Cricket Team to newer heights after blossoming under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly. During his captaincy, he handed chances to a few cricketers on a repetitive manner, who now had a successful cricketing career and owes a part of their success to MS Dhoni.

Famously termed as ‘Chinna Thala’. He was always a go-to man for MS Dhoni during his times as a skipper of the team. The flamboyant batsman has delivered the goods for India under MS Dhoni, especially, at crucial junctures of the game. Dhoni often backed Suresh Raina to stay in the team, especially, in the limited-overs format.

He even pushed the selectors to give one more look at Suresh Raina in Test format as well. However, he registered golden ducks in both of his innings.

Dhoni was once quoted about Raina saying, “He’s the best that we have got and we need to back him. Because if we don’t back him, the new guy who comes in will say: ‘I don’t want to play shots. I’ll make 25 runs and go home not out’.

However, under Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina failed to showcase his skills. Eventually, he lost his place in the playing XI across the formats.
