Indian captain MS Dhoni is one of the best captains in international cricket. Dhoni is a man of principles and with the backing of the BCCi, he became the most influential persons in Indian cricket. But Dhoni did not misuse his authorities and gave India major wins.
Dhoni himself is a batsman and we often don’t see him bowling in international games. But he has bowled in test matches and Odis. Dhoni never bowled in a T20 game and we know that the shortest format always has plenty of bowling options.
Dhoni has bowed in 7 innings in his test career while in Odis he has bowled twice and taken a wicket as well. This is the only wicket for Dhoni in his international career as he remained wicketless in the longer version of the game.
Dhoni, however, is seen bowling a lot of times in the nets. He is not that much regular as a bowler in the nets like the official Indian bowlers yet he sometimes is seen opening up his arms in the practice session.
These footages are from a practice session in which we see Dhoni bowling to Virat Kohli. With an average pace, Dhoni runs in and bowls his medium fast deliveries. Kohli was mostly blocking the balls and did not go for any big shots.
MS Dhoni doesn’t need to bowl in international cricket because he has made a pool of bowlers for himself in the team India. Dhoni always utilizes the likes of Raina, Kohli, and Yuvraj as his part-time options and they have done a great job for him in all the formats.
