Former India batsmen, S.Badrinath has said that one thing he picked up from MS Dhoni is to let things flow if they are going in the right direction and not tinker with it too much.
Badrinath has played under Dhoni’s leadership, both in the IPL under Chennai Super Kings franchise, and for the national team.
“One thing that I learnt from Dhoni was that if something is going well, it’s important not to tamper with it. Even we don”t know, but something is working. And it”s better to not touch it. CSK is one of the most grounded franchises because we always went there and did our jobs,” Badrinath told Hindustan Times.
Dhoni, who turned 39 a few days ago, has been on a sabbatical from the sport ever since India’s heartbreaking semi-final exit to New Zealand in the 2019 world cup.
It”s been almost an year that he has been away from the cricket field, yet conversations about his return or future retirement have never died out in the time since and he still remains one of the most talked about cricketers in the present era.
“It”s important he chooses. His body is also something that has gone through quite a bit. There”s a reason why he doesn’t play First-Class cricket or Test cricket because his back has also troubled him. It happens with any keeper, once you’ve played so much cricket under so much stress,” said Badrinath.
“He”s probably taking stock of how much he”s left in him. A player of his calibre, nobody should decide whether he should play the T20 World Cup, he should play IPL. It”s upto MS to decide what he wants to decide. Right now, there is too much speculation going around as well, most of it is not true,” he added.
