From 2007 to 2017, Dhoni led India to many future stars, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Ravichandran Ashwin.<\/p>\n<p>Virat Kohli may be India\u2019s most successful Test captain. Dhoni may not have replicated Kohli\u2019s Test success, particularly those achieved away from home, but India recorded some memorable victories under Dhoni\u2019s captaincy.<\/p>\n<p>The victory at Lord\u2019s in 2014 was the one that Dhoni and his team remembered the most. Dhoni\u2019s India returned to England three years later, having been whitewashed 0-4 in 2011, and took a 1-0 lead, defeating the hosts by 95 runs.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord\u2019s test is remembered for Ravindra Jadeja\u2019s sword celebration, which resulted in a sparkling half-century, and Ishant Sharma\u2019s career-best bowling figures of 7\/74, which resulted in England being bundled out for 223 runs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>During a recent conversation on Cricbuzz\u2019s \u2018Rise of New India,\u2019 Ishant revealed his conversation with MS Dhoni during his dream spell.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have many favourite spells, especially the one I bowled at Lord\u2019s. When Moeen Ali got out before lunch, Mahi bhai came to me. Actually, I would tell you what happened before. We were heading towards the dressing room when Mahi bhai told me to keep it normal. If nothing works, then we\u2019ll go back to bowling bouncers. I said fine. He asked me \u2018Thakega toh nahi?\u2019 (You won\u2019t get tired, right?) I said I will bowl as long as you want me to. I will bowl till the match doesn\u2019t get over. He too got charged up,\u201d Ishant said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen we went inside the dressing room. Duncan, Mahi bhai and I were sitting and talking. Then Duncan and Mahi bhai he asked me \u2018Will you bowl again?\u2019 I said I bowl till the game. He again said \u2018But no, you are human. You will get tired\u2019. I insisted No. If I get tired, carry me out on a stretcher. I won\u2019t walk back till the game doesn\u2019t end. So hearing it he too felt how long can he bowl bouncers. Fine, his motivation and adrenaline are high right now. But how long can he go till? So I kept bowling. Well, it\u2019s a different thing that I got injured,\u201d added Ishant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"taboola-in-content\">\n<div class=\"taboola-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_thumbnails-m\" data-placement-name=\"Mid Article Thumbnails\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_99145\" class=\"trc_rbox thumbnails-m trc-content-sponsored \">\n<div id=\"trc_header_99145\" class=\"trc_rbox_header trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div class=\"trc_header_ext\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahendra Singh Dhoni is arguably India\u2019s most successful captain, having led the team to all of the ICC trophies.
