India’s flamboyant batsman KL Rahul praised the support of former skipper MS Dhoni. Rahul said Dhoni is like an elder brother for everyone in the India National Cricket Team. The Karnataka batsman said the young players not only ask Dhoni about the cricketing issues but also they can discuss their personal issues.
The legendary MS Dhoni is one of the shrewdest minds to have embraced the game. Dhoni is always a man who is down to earth and he knows how to handle everything. Thus, Dhoni can guide all the young players on the right path.
Dhoni is a master.
“For youngsters and everybody, we know that he’s our go-to man. If we have any problem related to cricket or any personal problem, we can always speak to him. He’s like an older brother for everybody in the team. He brings a lot of calm to the dressing room and we love having him around,” said Rahul.
Here is how the local boy was welcomed in his home town Ranchi.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni is back in form. He had scored three back to back fifties on the tour of Australia. He had scored 193 runs in the three matches and he was awarded the Man of the series.
The right-hander also scored an undefeated knock of 59 runs in the first ODI at Hyderabad of the ongoing series against Australia. However, he was dismissed for a golden duck in the second ODI at Nagpur.
Meanwhile, KL Rahul is also back in form. The stylish batsman had scored 97 runs in the T20I series against the visitors. However, he is yet to receive his chance in the ongoing ODI series.
India’s leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who often receives tips from the wicketkeeper-batsman, also praised the master.
“If you go anywhere in the city, there’s the only person you will hear about and that person is MS Dhoni. There are posters of him everywhere and everyone wants to meet him,” said Chahal.
Meanwhile, India is currently leading the five-match ODI series by 2-0. The third ODI is being played at MS Dhoni’s home ground in Ranchi.
