‘Dhoni does 50% of spinners’ work’: Kuldeep

[velu]

 

Quote

India wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav lauded MS Dhoni’s inputs behind the stumps as put up yet another stupendous display with the ball on Thursday, with India cruising to a six-wicket win in Durban.

 

 

Yadav was a thorn in the flesh of the South African batsmen in the middle-overs, picking up 3/45 from his quota of overs. After triggering a mini-collapse, the hosts needed skipper Faf du Plessis and Chris Morris to resurrect their innings.

Yadav said: “Actually I was confused a bit what I should bowl because I am playing in South Africa for the first time and it was a new experience for me.”

“The wind was good and the ball was drifting so I was confused what to bowl, and which variation to use. So I was asking Mahi bhai (Dhoni) and he told me ‘bowl as you are bowling’. It is good that he keeps advising from behind the wickets, it gets easier.”

“As a spinner, he [Dhoni] does 50 per cent of your work because he has played so much cricket; he reads the batsmen easily”

Dhoni could constantly heard on the stump mic throughout the game, vociferously instructing Yadav and the rest of the Indian bowling pack about what bowling lengths they should be operating in.

 

The 23-year-old also had words of praise for his skipper, Virat Kohli, who starred with the bat and completed his 20th ton in a chase, “When you have two legends, Virat [Kohli] and Mahi, one is leading the team and the other has led the team, it is helpful,” Yadav said.

 

“The mindset comes from the captain,” the left-arm wrist-spinner said. “The way Virat bhai talks, he always tells us one extra wicket is more important than trying to save 10 runs. If your captain tells you that, then you start believing yourself. We then back our strengths.”

28.5 runs in 3 overs < 19 in 3 overs

And the list of admirers keeps on growing... 

[SUMO]

Good job but his primary job is to finish pressure games with good strike rate.

[Khota]

This dick riding of Dhoni has to stop.

Its a default thing now, every single player who has played for India has said it how he helps them. Only a fool would deny the benefits of having Dhoni type mentor in the team.

[rkt.india]

"bowl as you are bowling." Great advice by Dhoni the genius. Only he can come up with such encrypted msgs. Even Nazi Enigma was easier to decode.

What is the old saying: Victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan.

[Laaloo]

Seems like kuldeep and dhoni have a great thing going.

 

Dhoni apparently helps kuldeep in bowling and kuldeep returns the favor by shielding dhoni from lakmal

Not all details of strategies and moves have to be shared in media and rightly so.

What a chamchagiri lol, so he gives free advice to professional bowlers but when it comes to part timer he is untoward and inept?? Lol, give credit to great dhoni when someone does well and when don't its dhonis faith

Even the pitch curator says 50% of his work is done by Dhoni, through his lunges and bat ploughing 

[Unstable Joe]

So.... 50% of a spinner's job is to understand that "he should bowl as he is bowling".... Such a stroke of brilliance from great MS

Or T20 WC 2016 SF

 

 

68 runs conceded in 6 overs by our spinners. Using '50% of the spinners work' formula, that would be 34 runs in 3 overs at 11.34, which is what Dhoni was responsible for. Did Dhoni cost us the WC semifinal ?
