Sourav Ganguly: MS Dhoni’s six-hitting prowess ‘rare’
Bengaluru: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has recalled MS Dhoni’s maiden ODI hundred against Pakistan in 2005 when he was promoted to bat at No. 3. According to Ganguly, Dhoni’s batting ability was shown to the world thanks to batting higher up the order. He also cited Sachin Tendulkar’s example.

“He (Dhoni) got the opportunity to bat at No.3 in Vizag, scored a superb hundred (148) and whenever he has got a chance to play more overs, he has scored big. Tendulkar wouldn't have become Tendulkar if he kept batting at No.6 because you get a handful of balls to play,” BCCI president Ganguly told Sportstak.
