Hardik Pandya reveals how MS Dhoni saved his career with THIS decision - WATCH

Hardik recalled how Dhoni saved his career by showing trust in the Baroda player as he had leaked too many runs in his first over on his T20I debut.

Former India skipper MS Dhoni remains one of the best captains that cricket has ever witnessed and he is the reason behind success of numerous cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, etc.

Notably, Hardik Pandya is also one of those cricketers who flourished under Dhoni’s guidance and in a recent interview, the all-rounder went on to reveal how Dhoni groomed the youngster when he was young to the side and did not know what to do.

“I have learned a lot from everyone, especially Mahi Bhai. When I went there, I was a raw material, and he gave me a lot of freedom. He wanted me to make my own mistakes and learn from them. He wanted me to learn on my own so that I could survive harder. He never shows that he’s there, but he’s always there for you behind the scenes,” Hardik Pandya, who was recently appointed the captain of the new IPL franchise based out of Ahmedabad, told veteran journalist Boria Majumdar on his show Backstage with Boria.
