Ranji Trophy: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not only a successful cricketer but also an equally successful mentor. As long as he was in Team India, he guided the youth. Now Mahi does this work during the Indian Premier League. After the match is over, there is a queue of players to talk to Dhoni.

One of his disciples took advantage of the knowledge imparted by MS Dhoni and scored a brilliant century in the Ranji Trophy. However, he is not a professional batsman, rather his image is that of a bowler and a number 10 batsman. Let us know in detail which player we are talking about.

When Dhoni's disciple scored a century in Ranji Trophy

Actually, the player we are talking about is Tushar Deshpande. This fast bowler from Mumbai plays for MS Dhoni's team Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Tushar is known for his accurate bowling, but the magic of this player's bat was seen in the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy.

Bowling right-handed, he faced 129 balls and scored 123 runs. This included 10 fours and 8 sixes.
