MS Dhoni’s thinking is very simple- Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja was having an interaction with Ravichandran Ashwin on his You Tube channel. Ravindra Jadeja pointed out that leading the side in Test cricket is very different from IPL or T20s. The star-studded all-rounder stated that if given opportunity by the selection panel, he won’t hesitate to lead the side.
“Yes, definitely! Over the years, I have played under different captains. I know the mindset of every single captain whom I have played under and I also understand what players need and their mindset,” said Ravindra Jadeja
“Every captain has a different mindset on how he wants to run the team. I have played under MS Dhoni in every format and his thinking is very simple. If he feels that a batter can hit shots in a particular region, he keeps the fielder there to make the batter uncomfortable,” he stated.
