MS Dhoni Reveals The Toughest Bowler He Has Faced! Check Out Who Is He

Be it wicket-keeping or be it batting or be it Captaincy, MS Dhoni is outstanding at all corners of cricket. Nobody forgets his helicopter shot and finishing shots during the match. Whenever Dhoni comes to bat, bowlers be like sweating.

Dhoni has faced many bowlers in his 13-year-career like Dale Steyn, Lasith Malinga, Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee. But his batting and score stay unaffected with his talent. For every batsman, there will be a bowler who is toughest to him. Even in the case of Dhoni, he also has one bowler toughest to bat against.

Could you guess who’s that bowler?

Well, he’s none other than the Pakistani pace bowler, Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar. MS Dhoni admitted that former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was the toughest fast bowler he has faced in his career.

After India’s convincing win over Pakistan, the Indian team attended a gala dinner that was hosted by the Indian captain Virat Kohli’s foundation. The fundraiser was attended by the entire Indian squad along with the coaching staff. Dhoni made this revelation on Monday, during Virat Kohli’s charity dinner.

When asked about the toughest fast bowler he has faced, Dhoni said:

“All the fast bowlers are quite difficult, with the limited technique I had, it was very difficult to face the fast bowlers. Still, if I had to pick one, I would pick Shoaib Akhtar. Very simple reason, he was quick, he was fast, he could bowl a Yorker, he could bowl a bouncer but you never expected a beamer, he was a bit unpredictable, he was fun to play against.”

It’s surprising to see that the batsman who has given sleepless nights to other bowlers, considers Rawalpindi Express to be the toughest bowler. Whatever it is, Dhoni has always been inspiring cricketers all across the globe with his batting and wicket-keeping skills.

Although Dhoni didn’t get an opportunity to bat against Pakistan, India still managed a convincing 124-run victory over their arch-rivals at Edgbaston in ICC Champions Trophy.
