Simarjeet Singh, currently the top wicket-taker in the Delhi Premier League, credits his evolution as a T20 bowler to the mentorship of cricketing legend MS Dhoni. The Chennai Super Kings pacer emphasizes how Dhoni's knack for simplifying the game has considerably improved his performance.
''MS Dhoni has helped me to develop myself as a better T20 bowler. I don't think nobody else knows more about T20 cricket than him,'' said Singh in an exclusive interview. Singh, who has taken 15 wickets for East Delhi Riders, including crucial knocks in matches against Rajasthan Royals, revealed he constantly seeks Dhoni's advice.
