5 cricket players whose careers were saved by MS Dhoni

#2 Rohit Sharma

Rohit and Dhoni

When Rohit Sharma debuted for his country, the cricket fans felt that he is an extremely talented cricketer and would went on to become an all time great for Team India. But unfortunately Sharma did not begin his career as everyone expected. He was many opportunities and each time he failed miserably. He hardly got big scores and runs from his bat.

During India's tour to Sri Lanka in 2012, he scored a mere 13 runs out of the five matches he played. MS Dhoni was even widely criticized over the selection of Rohit Sharma. But he never stopped believing in him.

During the Champions Trophy in 2013, Dhoni promoted Rohit Sharma up the order and asked him to open. Since then he never looked back. From that point Rohit Sharma amassed thousands of runs and even got hundreds frequently.

He is the first cricketer on this planet to score three double centuries in limited overs, where no one has even two. He even has the most centuries in the shortest format of game and highest individual score in 50 overs game. Today he is the most dangerous and explosive opener in the world and on his way to be an all time great in the game.

#1 Virat Kohli

Virat and Dhoni

The captain of Indian's cricket team has often said in his press conferences that the former skipper has always backed him and even saved him from getting dropped from the side.

MS Dhoni had recognized the talent within Virat Kohliand always supported him. Initially, Virat was not able to get big scores and few eyebrows were raised over his constant selection.

It was MS who gave Virat the assurance and belief that he is going to get games to play and show his worth. As soon as Virat once got flight he never got down. From there, each time he got on to the field he always broke some record or the other.

He has got innumerable achievements under his name and today he is the number one batsman in the world across all formats and an all time great for the country.
