Dhoni’s sense of planning took Indian cricket to new highs: Venkatapathi Raju

The Hindu  

M. S. Dhoni was not only one of the greatest cricketers and finishers the game has ever seen, but also someone who had a wonderful sense of planning to take Indian cricket to new highs, said former India left-arm spinner S. L. Venkatapathi Raju, who was a member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India senior selection committee that made Dhoni the captain of the Indian team. “The way MS led a young Indian team to a historic win in the 2007 T20 World Cup is acknowledged history. He felt that Indian team needed that kind of exposure and experience to handle so many factors including playing at home in front of massive crowds,” Raju said. “And MS stood vindicated when he led the team to that epic triumph.” “When I went for the T20 World Cup in South Africa in which MS led the team to victory, I could say the way he handled the players, it was so refreshing to see the way he made each and every player comfortable even without compromising in terms of commitment by any of them.
