MS Dhoni is one of the biggest cricketers to ever play the game. He is the most popular athlete in this sport. His unbelievable success in this game is one of the main reasons that he has such a loyal fanbase, which is totally dedicated.
Dhoni is the only captain in the history of international cricket to lead a side to success in the T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup, and Champions Trophy. His achievements are not limited to the international level. In the Indian Premier League, he is also the most successful captain, with five IPL titles and ten appearances in the final.
Apart from his captaincy, he is also excellent behind the wicket and has been one of the best in the business when it comes to wicket-keeping. Dhoni’s hands are pretty quick when he is keeping. But the main aspect of his career that is loved by the fans is his batting and finishing abilities.
Dhoni plays some unconventional shots that are not written in the coaching manual. But those are pretty effective. The most eye-catching shot of his is famously known as the “helicopter shot,” which he plays for mainly yorkers.
That is why it is quite tough to bowl yorkers at him because he has his own shot to deposit the ball over the fence. That’s what South African star Lungi Ngidi feels. In an Q & A session on ESPN Cricinfo, Ngidi was asked to choose the batter, who is difficult to bowl yorkers at.

Without any doubt, he picked MS Dhoni for his answer. Notably, Ngidi made his IPL debut in 2018 for the Chennai Super Kings and played four seasons with them. He had bowled at Dhoni many times in nets and knew about his strength.
Well, it is not a surprise, as the pacer picked Dhoni for this answer. Because MSD has his own unique way of batting and hitting the ball. The CSK skipper recently led his team to their record fifth IPL title, beating Gujarat Titans in the final. With that, Dhoni also confirmed that he will be back for the next season.
