Delhi: One of the most successful captains of Indian cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has given an interview to the content creator Raj Shamani for the first time. In this special conversation, Dhoni also mentioned India’s three most spectacular opening batsmen. Captain Cool said that he avoids comparing the players, but still he counted Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virender Sehwag among the best openers in India.

Who told Dhoni the best opener?

On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Dhoni was asked who is India’s best opener, batsman and all -rounder? On this question, Dhoni clearly said, “When I am asked to choose such players who are no longer in the team, I back down a little. The players who are not in the team cannot perform today, then it is difficult to compare them.”

However, Dhoni also said that he has seen Sachin, Ganguly and Sehwag playing and learned a lot from his game. Dhoni has also considered Sehwag as one of the best openers.

Sehwag was described as the best opener

Describing Sehwag as an excellent opener, Dhoni said, “When you see him playing, no one can be better than them. But cricket is a game in which anything can happen all the time. There was a time when Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes, that moment does not come in that moment. So it is very difficult to choose one. Many old players were very difficult.

Sehwag raised questions on Dhoni’s finishing

Former cricketer Virender Sehwag recently talked about the team’s weakness of the team to chase large score after two consecutive defeats by Chennai Super Kings. He also questioned the finishing of MS Dhoni and said that in the last few years, such strong finish has been seen from Dhoni.

Sehwag reminded that Dhoni had once scored 24-25 runs against Akshar Patel and about 20 runs in Irfan Pathan’s over, but such occasions have reduced now. He also said that in the last 5 years, CSK has not been able to chase the target of 180+ runs, which is a big weakness.
