Dhoni is a captain who believes in taking young players forward. Dhoni has shown a lot of faith in Mathisha Pathirana in IPL 2023. Pathirana has also won Dhoni's heart with his performance. This is the reason why Dhoni has given a special message to Mathisha's family. Mathisha's sister Vishuka Pathirana shared a photo on her Instagram in which she made a big revelation about Dhoni. Sharing a photo of himself with Dhoni, he captioned it, 'When Thala said 'You don't need to worry about Mathisha, she will always be with me, now we are sure that Malli is in safe hands, these moments were like a dream for me.'

Opportunity given to talented players

This post shared by Pathirana's sister is going viral. Fans have once again become crazy about Dhoni's generosity. Dhoni always promotes talented players. Even when he was the captain of Team India, he gave opportunities to talented players to come forward. Dhoni gave a chance to talented players like Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Chahar to come forward.

Dhoni advises Sri Lankan cricket

Pathirana is also known as 'Baby Malinga' due to his bowling action being similar to former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga. Under the guidance of Dhoni and Bravo, Pathirana has bowled brilliantly for Chennai this season. Pathira's brilliant bowling in the death overs keeps the batsmen tied. Dhoni has also advised Sri Lankan cricket about Pathirana's talent. Dhoni believes that a player like Pathira is not for Test matches but for big tournaments like ICC.
