“MS Dhoni Usually Says…” Rishabh Pant Discusses The Value Of The Former CSK Captain To His Career

In an interview, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant discussed how MS Dhoni’s guidance improved his game in time for the team’s next Indian Premier League 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Given that the side won every ICC championship under his leadership, MS Dhoni is perhaps the greatest captain India has ever produced. He is among the greatest captains in the IPL, as CSK won the most titles of any team when he was captain.

Mahi Bhai’s one constant comment is that it’s all about controllables. Pant said in a video released by starsports, “So it is the same that you are doing your thought process on your cricket, the work you are doing, the practise you are doing.”

“You’re putting the match into practice. Think about it instead of whether someone is judging you from the outside. I believe you are thinking along the lines of “high risk, high reward.” I believe that my play is typical. I’m not going to take any chances. I calculate everything, so I say. Whatever understanding I possess based on the game. Pant said, “That this can occur in this position, this cannot occur.”

It’s crucial to play well. There will be criticism, but ignore what others have to say. On the field, I’m giving it my all. For me, it is crucial. I also tell the truth about it. Thus, I don’t mind at all,” the DC captain said.

Pant-led DC has won three of their last seven games, placing them at number six in the standings. However, MS Dhoni’s CSK, who have won four of their last seven games, are presently ranked third in the standings.

Pant & Co. upset the reigning champions by 20 runs in their most recent IPL matchup against DC.
