Former India wicketkeeper and 1983 member Syed Kirmani has revealed a lot about Mahendra Singh Dhoni, former captain of the Indian team. He has told how he first recognized the talent of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and gave him a place in the team.
There is no doubt that Dhoni is currently the best wicketkeeper-batsman in the world. He has shown even more amazing in the wicket than what he showed behind the wicket. Syed Kirmani, while discussing the matter related to Dhoni's selection, said that he and the immediate selector Pranab Roy had first seen Dhoni playing in the field.
After that there was a discussion between the two, he told that Pranav had told him that there is a wicketkeeper-batsman from Jharkhand who should be selected. After that Syed Kirmani scrutinized Dhoni's file and saw that he was consistently doing well with the bat while remaining behind the wicket and at that time India needed one such player.
Before Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik was also given a chance but at that time Dinesh could not show anything special. Apart from this, Nayan Mongia and Saba Karim also could not show any special feat at that time, so the selectors were constantly doing new experiments.
