Former India skipper MS Dhoni is one in a million kind of a cricketer. He has his own aura both on and off the field taking Indian cricket to bigger heights. Since taking over the baton in 2007, Dhoni has achieved a lot of accolades in his career. Recently, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson heaped praise on ‘special individual’ MS Dhoni.

The cricketer from Jharkhand has always stayed away from the limelight stressing on the importance of the game. Despite achieving so much in his career, Dhoni keeps his feet grounded. Apart from his batting skills, the veteran is the only cricketer to win three ICC titles in history.

MS Dhoni is a special individual: Kane Williamson

Recently, Kane Williamson showered praise on the 39-year-old MS Dhoni. The two last crossed paths in the World Cup 2019 semi-final. Williamson spoke how Dhoni is unique and always focus on his game.

“You might finish a series and try and have a quick chat and find the secret, but he (Dhoni) seems to take it in his stride and appreciate the game,” Williamson said on Star Sports’ show Cricket Connected.

“He seems to remember what is important and not get too caught up with some of those things that may be distracting, very focused on what’s important, but a special individual,” he added. 

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni has been the talking point in the town for quite some time now. He has not played cricket since last July and his retirement speculations are on an all-time high. So far, he has played 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is in which he has scored 10,773 and 1,617 runs respectively. He hanged his boots in red-ball cricket in 2014.

Dhoni started his training to make a return in the Indian Premier League. However, with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, BCCI had to call off the tournament for an indefinite period.
