The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 has brought out a different version of MS Dhoni for cricket fanatics. It’s a matter to rejoice that the man who has been entertaining us for more than a decade is back in his form. More importantly, his discussions with young and budding cricketers from the opposition side are increasing the level of his greatness.
On Friday, when the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) welcomed the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Eden Gardens, it was a special moment for the young KKR speedster Shivam Mavi who came into limelight after his victorious sting at the U-19 World Cup 2018. Since their first game against CSK, Mavi wasn’t a part of the KKR playing XI. Finally, he had that chance to bowl to one of the finest batsmen across the world.
After the game ended and KKR defeated CSK by 6 wickets, Mavi met Mahi, had pictures clicked and then shared on his social media account with a ‘fanboy’ caption.
“The pieces of advice you gave me after the match are highly appreciated and words can neither qualify nor quantify your guidance and useful advice. Your perseverance, integrity and people-loving nature are just a few of your qualities that continue to inspire me. #Mahibhai”, Mavi wrote on his Twitter handle while thanking MSD for his cricketing tips.

It was the 4th incident when ‘Captain Cool’ was spotted with budding Indian talents. Starting with Ishan Kishan, Dhoni’s pictures with Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw had already created a buzz on social media. And this one with Mavi is the new addition to the list.
