Ishant Sharma also spoke about how MS Dhoni helped the bowlers and gave them confidence in crunch match situations.
Ishant Sharma was a part of India’s 2013 Champions Trophy winning squad and played a crucial role in the final by picking up the wickets of Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara off consecutive deliveries. And, unsurprisingly, that was due to a perfect plan set up by him and MS Dhoni.
MS Dhoni and Ishant Sharma’s understanding helped India script a famous win at Lords in 2014
Ishant Sharma and MS Dhoni also showcased their excellent understanding in India’s famous Test win at the Lords Cricket Ground in 2014. MS Dhoni asked Ishant Sharma to make use of his height and bowl short-pitched deliveries. Ishant Sharma obliged and picked up career-best figures of 7-74, helping India win the Test.
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan also spoke about how MS Dhoni was as a captain during the 2007 T20 World Cup. Pathan beautifully explained how MS Dhoni became more mature and calm as a skipper with time and it was his belief in slower bowlers like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina that helped India win the 2013 Champions Trophy.
