5 quotes by Ravi Shastri: A man who doesn't mince words

#4 On MS Dhoni

Clearly, Shastri thinks very highly of MS Dhoni

The 55-year-old ranks the former Captain MS Dhoni very highly and has defended him on numerous occasions. The Indian coach considers Dhoni to be a player in the league of Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar and maintains that people would realize his real worth once he decides to bid adieu to the game.

Recently, when Dhoni was not able to take India over the line in the 2nd T20I against New Zealand, he received a lot of flak for his low strike rate. Shastri came to the defence of the wicket keeper yet again, saying that Dhoni still had a lot of cricket left in him.
