4 Indian fast bowlers whose careers were shaped by MS Dhoni

#3 Manpreet Gony

Gony has played two ODIs for India

Manpreet Gony was a revelation in the inaugural edition of the IPL. The Punjab seamer took 17 wickets in the season and was one of the finds of the tournament. He was Dhoni's go-to bowler in the powerplays. Gony troubled the batsmen with his swing and pace. He also extracted extra bounce because of his height and was lethal with the new ball.

Gony's success resulted in his inclusion in the national side for the Tri-series in Bangladesh. Even though Gony wasn't able to replicate his IPL success at the international level and was dropped from the side after playing just two matches, his rise to limelight was due to the stint with CSK under MS Dhoni. After a few average seasons with Kings XI Punjab, Gony went unsold at this year's auction, but he is still going strong in the domestic circuit playing for his state side, Punjab.
