M S Dhoni Praised by Shane Warne and Shoaib Akhtar
His finishing skills called into question by critics, Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday received firm backing from spin legend Shane Warne, who feels that former India captain doesn't need to 'prove anything to anyone'.
Removed from captaincy before the start of the 10th edition of the ongoing Indian Premier League, Dhoni so far has had a quiet tournament for Rising Pune Supergiant by his standards, scoring only 61 runs in five games.
Warne took to twitter to back Dhoni, who has been a phenomenal limited-overs cricketer.
'@msdhoni does not have to prove anything to anyone, he's class & a wonderful player in all formats. MS is also a great captain & inspires!'
Dhoni's strike-rate in the 10th IPL has been a dismal 87.14 with an average of shade over 15. He has managed to hit only two sixes in five games. While he is still the undisputed No.1 keeper-batsman in the limited-overs format but inconsistent form over the past year has led to debated if he is still a potent match-winner.
'You might belong to Hyderabad, Bangalore, Gujarat, Kolkata, Mumbai, Punjab or Delhi. You might support any of these teams in the IPL. But when MS Dhoni steps out to bat, every Indian on this planet becomes a Pune supporter!'
Good comments from Warne. remember goneka if dhoni wouldn't have got 28 runs ur team would have lost cuz u won by 27 runs and if dhoni wouldn't have taken the wicket of ABD by stumping ur team would have lost cuz ABD is the most destructive player in RCB.so don't hurt anyone u don't know who play when properly. Since the SIX was hit by MS Dhoni #RPS owner #HarshGoyainka is measuring the distance with his two feet. The same way we use to measure the pitch yard while we played cricket years back. Only one person has hitt 212 sixes in 10 yrs ..while in IPL 10 teams and many players together did so ....and still they doubt on mahis ability
Amazing how the Bangalore crowd was cheering ABD's wicket, that's what MS Dhoni means to Indians.. Even his stumping gets such cheers ^_^ Every ground in India is MS Dhoni's hometown! Goenka's least knowledge about cricket is evident through his defamatory speech against M.SDhoni.This so called owner doesnot deserve Our captain Cool. MS Dhoni is an icon and he doesnot need a certificate to prove his efficiency.
