Narayan Jagadeesan recalls MS Dhoni advice from CSK days
Narayan Jagadeesan says advice from MS Dhoni during CSK stint changed his career outlook; Cheteshwar Pujara picks all-time India XI without Dhoni.
Narayan Jagadeesan has shared life-changing advice he received from MS Dhoni during his five years at Chennai Super Kings. The wicketkeeper-batter said the guidance struck him hard and shaped his approach to the game.
Jagadeesan spent five years in the CSK setup before moving to other franchises. He spoke about the interaction in an exclusive interview published on Friday.
Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara separately picked an all-time India XI excluding MS Dhoni and several other recent teammates from his playing days between 2010 and 2023.

Jagadeesan's decision to highlight Dhoni's advice years after leaving CSK suggests the mentorship extended beyond tactical tips into a mindset that still influences his cricket, even as Pujara's XI deliberately excludes the same figure from his own retrospective team.
