'He thinks one step ahead': Suresh Raina says MS Dhoni was gifted 'some special ability' from god

The 33-year-old then went on to add how Dhoni is correct with his assumptions most of the time and he trusts him fully with his decision making.

Veteran Team India batsman Suresh Raina has spent a lot of his career playing under the captaincy of MS Dhoni for India and Chennai Super Kings.

The left-hander always got something interesting to say about Dhoni and this time again Raina has once again spoken highly about the former Team India skipper for providing the nation with some excellent cricketing talents.

Raina also expressed his thoughts on how much of a good human being MS is and it is key for being successful.

"I have played a lot of cricket with him and he helped me become a better human being. He has given India some great players and we all know that."

"Everybody plays cricket but it is important for you to be a good human being as well. So I want to thank him for that,” Raina was quoted as saying by multiple outlets.
