Legendary India cricketer and one of the nation's finest-ever captains across formats, MS Dhoni, on Sunday turned 43.
MS Dhoni, a name synonymous with calmness in world cricket since he made his debut in 2004 for India, is celberating his 43rd birthday on Sunday.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
Thursday’s washout in Hyderabad meant that Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals as the three confirmed teams for the playoffs and the race is now for only one spot with two teams in fray -- CSK and RCB.
Then skipper Sourav Ganguly decided to promote Dhoni up in the batting order and the wicketkeeper-batsman smacked the Pakistani bowlers all around the park this time to score 148 off just 123 balls.
Bravo, who shares dressing room with Dhoni in IPL playing for CSK, said that "just be yourself" is Dhoni's advice to everyone.
MS Dhoni's last competitive match was India's ICC World Cup 2019 semifinal encounter against New Zealand.
The video is presumably from the franchise's training camp where Dhoni trained in March this year before the mega event was postponed.
Ashwin share insights around his mental strength that came to his rescue to stay strong especially, when he was made to sit on the bench during the 2011 World Cup, or the 2013 Champions Trophy.
