“I feel Dhoni, for the primary one yr, didn’t know that I existed. I don’t suppose he knew or perhaps he knew and he didn’t actually, that is Dhoni. I’ve recognized him for nearly 15-16-17 years from shut quarters and with him, I discover what he was in 2008-09 is precisely how he operates in 2024. That’s fascinating for me and I keep in mind that sport in 2010 the place he bought hit by Shane Bond on his arm, I feel at Eden Gardens.”
“I bought a wicket. I bought Bond out in that sport however he bought hit on his arm and he went out of the aspect. However I’ve begun the IPL fairly nicely. That is supposedly going to be my first full yr within the IPL, and he went out and Suresh Raina led the aspect. I feel they’ve most likely barely completely different views by way of how they deal with individuals. I didn’t bowl contained in the Powerplay. I bowled barely later as a result of Muttiah Muralitharan and I have been taking part in in the identical group and I ended up bowling at demise in Bangalore. I’ve not had fun. I had let the group down on three events. After that, Dhoni led. However as quickly as he got here again to captain the aspect, he picked up the puzzle,” he stated.
“I feel he stated, ‘I need that man again’. I got here again and he once more used me with the brand new ball as a result of he used me contained in the Powerplay in opposition to Adam Gilchrist and I bought him out in Chennai. And he used me once more in those self same roles and constantly used me like that for a number of years to comply with. He used me contained in the batting Powerplay, even once I performed for India. So, I feel that’s fairly an interesting type of a perception that he had and he saved it quite simple when he instructed me issues,” he added.
