#3 Pragyan Ojha praises MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni

Former India player Pragyan Ojha praised MS Dhoni, stating him as the bowler's captain. Ojha, who retired recently from all forms of cricket, played the majority of his cricket at the international level under MS Dhoni.

He explained that Dhoni gave him the freedom to a bowl and set fields according to the situation and assisted the bowlers through crucial insights.

“He (Dhoni) was a bowler’s captain. I strongly believe that a bowler should have a captain who understands him.:

"A lot of bowlers praise Dhoni because of the dimensions he gives you, things that he helps you with like placing the field, keeping your mind clear which are important when you play high-intensity games."

"Definitely. Any cricketer would like to go out of the country and challenge himself. Like batsmen, when they go to countries like Australia, England and South Africa. They want to get the runs for the team."

"I have spoken to many cricketers like (VVS) Laxman bhai and Gauti bhai (Gautam Gambhir). They want to go outside and perform because those conditions are not favourable to us. So as a cricketer I would have loved to go to foreign shores and give my best."
