“Our players have reached a stage where they feel learning an entirely new language is much easier than differentiating between a flipper and a googly. Dhoni gives advice to Kuldeep and Chahal throughout the match on how to bowl and once we learn Hindi, we will be able to decipher Dhoni's commands and score runs against the spinners,” a South African player revealed their strategy.
“If we learn their language, we can find out what is Dhoni telling his players while setting the field and which Hindi cuss word Kohli is hurling at us,” he added.😄😂😎

"I'm happy I'll be bowling to (MS) Dhoni in the nets rather than in a match like I have been," Mitchell Santner was quoted as saying by chennaisuperkings .com ahead of his maiden IPL season.

Ganguly said that he wished Dhoni was a part of the India team that played the 2003 World Cup under his captaincy.
"I wish I'd Dhoni in my 2003 World Cup team. I was told that when we were playing the 2003 World Cup final he was still a ticket collector with Indian Railways. Unbelievable!"
Dhoni was the captain when Sourav Ganguly retired from International cricket in 2008. He started his last Test series under Anil Kumble while played his last test under MS Dhoni.
Everybody remembers MS Dhoni's gesture when he asked to Ganguly to captain the side on the final day of the last test match. However, Ganguly has revealed that he had refused Dhoni's request to captain the side once.
"As the match came to a close, Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a surprise gesture asked me to lead. I had rejected his offer earlier in the day, but could not refuse a second time."
"But I must admit, at that stage, I found it difficult to focus. So after three overs I handed it back to Dhoni saying, it is your job, MS. We both smiled."

"When it comes to Dhoni -- I am studying in a university where he is the topper. He is one of the guys I have always looked up to. It is unfair to compare me with him," Karthik told media persons during an interaction, on Tuesday.
"His (Dhoni) journey has been totally different and my journey is a different one. He is a terrific guy. He is somebody who used to be reserved, shy. Today, he is a person, who is really vocal in helping the youngsters. I feel these comparisons are very unfair. As I said, he is probably a topper in a university, where I am studying. I am just happy in the space I am in," Karthik said.
