India trounced Afghanistan by six wickets in the opening Twenty20 International at Mohali on Thursday.
MS Dhoni was renowned for getting the most out of his players while serving as captain of the Indian squad. From Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma, Dhoni guided the development of numerous young players who went on to become the game’s greatest players. Dhoni is still teaching the current group of players that winning mindset, even after he retired from international cricket. Even though he is nearing the end of his cricket career, the former India wicketkeeper-batter is still molding young players who will go on to be the best in the game.In the opening T20 International in Mohali on Thursday, India defeated Afghanistan by six wickets. Following the game, Indian batsman Rinku Singh talked about his conversation with Dhoni and how his insights had helped him adapt his style of play to fit the demands of the international game.”I make an effort to converse with myself, telling myself that anything can happen when I bat sixth. When I chatted with Mahi bhai during the most recent IPL, he told me that it’s better the more composed you are. Observe the bowler’s movements and adjust your strategy accordingly. Rinku stated on news outlets following the game, “If I think too much, things can go wrong for me (laughs), so I see what the bowler is doing instead.”
With a fantastic start to his T20I career, Rinku has amassed 278 runs from nine innings at an amazing average of 69.50 since making his debut last year, following an incredible IPL season.
As an Indian batsman, Rinku has honed his skill at winning matches while batting down the order. He currently has the following T20I scores: 38, 37, 22, 31, 46, 6, 68, 14. During a pivotal partnership that won the match, he also struck an undefeated sixteen.
As India won the match with 15 balls remaining, Dube scored an undefeated 60. Following the game, Dhoni’s partner at CSK, the all-rounder, too emphasized how important Dhoni has been to his recent career.
“I wanted to use the knowledge I had gained from MS Dhoni regarding winning games when I took the field. I talk to Mahi bhai all the time. He gives me advice on how to handle various circumstances. Dube informed the broadcasters, “He has graded my batting and given me two or three tips.”
“I’ll keep playing well if he thinks well of my batting, in my opinion. That made me feel more confident. It’s critical for a batsman to close out games in a T20, so contributing to the team’s success felt great, he continued.
