Legendary cricketer MS Dhoni has shaped up the career of many youngsters. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman’s valuable advice has helped many emerging talented cricketers flourish in his career.
Recently, Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh shared some game-changing advice he received from great Dhoni.
According to Shashank, Dhoni’s tips boosted his confidence as a finisher and allowed him to perform without feeling the weight of expectations.
“While speaking with Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni), he gave me valuable advice about being a finisher. He mentioned that securing only three victories out of ten games for your team is sufficient to rank you among the top five or ten players globally,” said Shashank.

“This guidance boosted my confidence significantly. It made me realize that it’s not always realistic to win every game. Instead, I try to focus on the things I did well and learn from the mistakes or poor decisions I made along the way,” he added.
Notably, Shashank had an impressive IPL 2024 campaign. He scored 354 runs in 14 matches at an average of 44.25, including two half-centuries in the edition.
Ironically, the Punjab franchise had acquired him by mistake at the auction, but his stellar performances turned him into one of their key players.
