Former Indian cricketer and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji revealed how MS Dhoni's captaincy "changed the perception of leadership among all captains". During his interaction on Cricket Connected, Balaji spoke about the exact moment when Dhoni officially announced his retirement from international cricket. I did not realize that he had already put his retirement message at 7:29 pm," former pace Balaji recalled. "From the year 2000, according to me, there's nobody like Dhoni who's had such a massive influence on not just Indian cricket but world cricket," Balaji claimed. The way he maintains his emotion on field, maintaining the team environment and camaraderie, leading the team successfully, only MS Dhoni could do it," he added.
