Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has made many cricketers superstars in the cricket world through opportunity and proper guidance under his captaincy. The first name in this list is that of India's current captain Rohit Sharma who has scored three double centuries in ODI cricket. At one point, Rohit Sharma's batting lacked consistency. He was constantly in and out of the team. But Dhoni knew about his potential. Dhoni gave him a chance to open. Dhoni is very good at guiding and motivating the players, spotting the faults and correcting them. Dhoni is currently doing something similar with Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana.

Mathisha Pathirana influenced Mahi
In the year 2020, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was impressed by Mathisha Pathirana's bowling. At that time Pathirana was only 17 years old. Seeing his action, Dhoni invited him to Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni himself wrote a letter to him for this. At that time, IPL was running in UAE due to Corona. In such a situation Dhoni wrote to this Sri Lankan bowler inviting him to come to UAE and asked him to join the team. His bowling action is somewhat similar to former Sri Lankan legend Lasith Malinga.
Dhoni is improving Mathisha Pathirana with every match
Dhoni is seen interacting with Pathirana a lot during the match. Pathirana has played two matches so far this season, picking up three wickets. Pathirana has taken a total of 5 wickets in four matches so far. In the 29th match of IPL 2023, Pathirana bowled 4 overs against Hyderabad. During this he took one wicket and gave only 22 runs. Dhoni is always seen encouraging him.
