During the ongoing IPL 2025, Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar appeared on a podcast hosted by Ranveer Allahabadia, where he shared his thoughts on various topics, including MS Dhoni’s captaincy style. Kumar expressed admiration for Dhoni’s leadership and approach to the game, highlighting his strategic mindset and ability to guide his team effectively.
His remarks come at a significant moment, as MS Dhoni has been reinstated as the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s absence due to an elbow injury. Kumar also praised Dhoni’s exceptional wicketkeeping skills and game awareness, emphasizing the crucial role he plays in shaping match outcomes.
Bhuvi, who made his international debut under MS Dhoni’s captaincy, revealed that his favorite footballer is Lionel Messi and he can see Messi’s shadow in MS Dhoni.
MS Dhoni is different: Bhuvneshwar Kumar
“MS Dhoni and Lionel Messi because I have spent time with Dhoni, and spending time with him is always fun. So I know his nature. Everyone knows who spent time with him. I’ve seen Lionel Messi on TV or whatever game I have seen. So I think he is different, and just like Messi, MS Dhoni is different,” said Bhuvneshwar Kumar on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast.
“There is a big role of the wicket-keeper (on picking wickets). When a keeper is keeping, they know all the angles. Dhoni has done captaincy for so many years and at that level, so he gets to know what the chances are of the ball going where, or he knows where the line and length of a bowler is so you can set angles in such a way,” said Bhuvneshwar Kumar during the podcast.
