Dhoni Had Superb Big-Hitting Abilities And He Was Rare: Sourav Ganguly

By Shubham Shah August 23, 2020 • 15:57 PM View: 1080

Former India captain and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has said M. S.Dhoni had massive big-hitting skills and it was important to promote him up the order and allow him full freedom to play his shots when he first started playing for India.

World Cup winning former India captain Dhoni called time on his illustrious career recently. Ganguly was the captain of the Indian side when Dhoni made his debut. Ganguly decided to promote Dhoni to No.3 in an ODI against Pakistan in Visakhapatnam in 2005. Dhoni repaid the faith shown on him with interest by slamming a blistering 148 to lead India to victory.
