Shivam Dubey
The 29-year-old has been in good form right now. Before Chennai Super Kings he was part of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, he got a chance to play on top of the order and took this opportunity with open hands. He got the role to unsettle the spin attack and he is doing his job beautifully. He has already hit 15 sixes and scored 184 runs with a massive strike rate of 157.26. If someone is noticing him closely so one can see the difference in him. Now he looks more confident and more aggressive while batting. He is backed by Dhoni and has a good chance to grow himself and represent India.
Matheesha Pathirana
The Sri Lankan bowler has got a massive opportunity to represent Chennai under the leadership of MS Dhoni. The 20-year-old has represented his country in the Under-19 tournament. He caught the viewer’s eye because of his unique action. Sri Lankan bowlers have always been known for their unique bowling actions.
We have seen Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, and all with unique bowling action and now they gave Matheesha Pathirana. The best part of Matheesha Pathirana is that he has the best captain in the town. Currently, he is playing for Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni. Pathirana has played 5 matches so far and got 6 wickets. He has a Silinga action which is similar to the legendary Malinga. Because of that, he is known as Baby Malinga.
Akash Singh
Another young player is playing for Chennai under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. India have been desperately looking for a young left-arm-bowler for so long after Zaheer Khan’s retirement. Currently, he is opening the bowling for Chennai Super Kings and bowls exceptionally well. The 20-year-old has got the opportunity to play for the most successful team in the IPL.
Interestingly, He got the chase in 2020 itself for Rajasthan but didn’t get the opportunity to represent the Royals. While playing for the CSK he took 5 wickets so far.
Let’s see what would be the future of these players under the guidance of Dhoni but it is clear that they will learn a lot from him as we have witnessed so many times that the opponent’s young players come to MS Dhoni after the match and listen to him pretty carefully. So These three players have a good chance to understand the new dimensions of cricket from the best in town.
