MS Dhoni<\/strong>: <\/a>Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer\u00a0Ishant Sharma\u00a0recently shared his words of wisdom from former India captain\u00a0MS Dhoni\u00a0from the 2013 Champions Trophy. The 37-year-old credited the legendary wicketkeeper-batter for instilling self-belief among his teammates. He further commended him for his heightened game awareness in predicting a rain-shortened game against England in the tournament final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishant also compared Dhoni and\u00a0Virat Kohli\u2019s India captaincy while sharing their unique on-field tactics. The speedster revealed that Dhoni was a flexible skipper, but the latter mostly stuck with the plan. He told Raj Shamani\u2019s\u00a0YouTube channel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMahi bhai looked sober, but he would give pieces [of advice] a lot in the field. There was a Champions Trophy match, and rain was taking place. Everyone thought the match would be washed out. He said that the match would happen, it would be short, and he doesn\u2019t think that god will win us the match. God won\u2019t do anything; you have to do things on your own. He would say that you believe in god but trust in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMahi bhai was a captain who loved doing things on the field; he liked doing that. The decision would be based on the game situation. It wasn\u2019t with Virat; there was a basic plan, and then we would look at how it\u2019s going.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOn the field, we would look at those, but Mahi bhai wasn\u2019t focused much on the meetings. He would play cricket that way, and nobody would understand the meeting. His strategy was simple: you would learn only if you made mistakes. He would say that if you make a mistake and then how long you take to repeat the same mistakes, that\u2019s consistency for you,\u201d Ishant added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ishant Sharma returned with figures of 2\/36 as the Men in Blue beat England by five runs to clinch the 2013 Champions Trophy title. The pacer bagged two wickets and conceded only four runs in the penultimate over to dramatically turn things around in India’s favor. Later, Ravichandran Ashwin defended 15 runs off the last over of the 20-over contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou learn a lot\u201d \u2013 Ishant Sharma shares his off-the-field lessons from MS Dhoni<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While calling MS Dhoni<\/a> a big brother, Ishant Sharma<\/a> also expressed his gratitude for learning life lessons from the legendary player. He said in the same video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEveryone has seen Mahi bhai as a big brother. We didn\u2019t just learn to play the game, but we learned that we need to play the game and do well, and at the same time, there shouldn\u2019t be a senior-junior [stuff] in the team. How to live life? How to interact with someone else? You learn a lot of life skills from Mahi <\/a>bhai.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ishant Sharma<\/a> played the majority of his career under Dhoni and Kohli. With 311 scalps in 105 Tests, he is one of the leading wicket-takers for India in the red-ball format. He has also bagged 115 scalps in 80 ODIs. The senior pacer last represented GT in the\u00a0IPL\u00a02025 season, picking up four wickets in seven games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
