Under MS Dhoni leadership, the Indian team went under the transition period. Likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, and Rahul Dravid retired when MS Dhoni became the captain. The former Indian captain Dhoni had maintained the balance when legendary cricketers left the team. He further backed a bunch of young players to yield rich dividends. Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has revealed that Dhoni has supported one cricketer the most.
MS Dhoni successfully led the pack of young players with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin, etc. He supported youngsters and gave them a full opportunity to prove themselves and their skills.
Well, Yuvraj Singh has revealed that Dhoni has a favourite player whom he has backed the most under his captaincy.
Suresh Raina Got the Larger Support from MS Dhoni: Yuvraj Singh
“Suresh Raina had a larger support then, because MS used to back him. Every captain has a favourite player, and I think Mahi really backed Raina at that time. Yusuf Pathan was also performing well at that time, and even I was doing well and was also picking wickets. And Raina was not in a good touch then. They did not have a left-arm spinner at that time, and I was picking wickets, so they did not have any choice,” Yuvraj maintained.
Raina had last featured with the team in July 2018. He has been out of the team because of his form, and he also went under surgery. On the other hand, Dhoni has also not played for a long time. The duo play together plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led by Dhoni. And, the fans have seen that they enjoy each other company and form partnerships in the ground.
