Yuvraj Singh was the only player before him who hit 6 sixes back to back.

When Akash Chopra asked Ruturaj about the inspiration behind his massive success, he mentioned the name of MS Dhoni.

Ruturaj came into the limelight in IPL 2020, when Dhoni gave him a chance to open for CSK.

After that, Ruturaj became one of the key batsmen for CSK and also played some international matches for India.

But 2022 turned out to be the worst year for him. The player didn't perform well in any tournament.

In the interview, Ruturaj said “I was feeling very demotivated at that time, and that is where Dhoni helped me.”

MS Dhoni advised me how to stay calm when things are not going the way you wanted.
