Renowned former Sri Lankan spin maestro Muttiah Muralitharan commended Dhoni’s batting prowess and team-oriented sacrifices, ranking the Ranchi-born cricketer among the top batters in global cricket. Muralitharan, who played alongside Dhoni at CSK, expressed his admiration in a recent statement to Jio Cinema.
“People think of Dhoni as a captain only but as a batter, he was at the top. He was such a good player and when he started when he was playing, no other players could play like him because [he was] so dangerous, then because of his captaincy, he mellowed down and he knew how to finish matches for the team.”
He further says:
“For the sake of the team, Dhoni gave up his flair. But his record in one day and T20 is no better than any way he is [among] top-class players who have the same record.”
MS Dhoni accumulated a total of 10,773 runs across 350 One Day Internationals (ODIs), achieving 10 centuries and 73 half-centuries. In the realm of Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), he amassed 1,617 runs in 98 matches, securing two half-centuries. Furthermore, the 42-year-old cricketer boasts a tally of over 5,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
