"Thakega Toh Nahi?...": Indian Pacer Reveals Interesting Conversation With MS Dhoni During Memorable 2014 Test Win vs England
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is regarded as one of the finest captains India ever had. From the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 to the prestigious Champions Trophy in 2013, the former wicketkeeper-batter took India to great heights under his leadership. Even though Team India became the No 1 Test side during the tenure of Virat Kohli's captaincy but it was Dhoni, who had led India to their memorable win over England at Lord's in the first Test of the five-match series in 2014. The victory is still cherished by the fans as Team India took a revenge of the whitewash they faced in 2011 during a four-match Test series against England.
