#1 A role model for youngsters
This is one highly significant factor where the importance of Dhoni can’t be undermined at all, not even one bit. The number of times we have seen him helping out the youngsters on and off the field is simply uncountable.
Be it IPL or the national side, he has more often than not come to the rescue of players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh Pant, and Kuldeep Yadav. His mere presence behind the stumps gives immense confidence and courage to the young Indian lot of fast bowlers and spinners alike.
Even Virat Kohli has acknowledged Dhoni’s cricketing mind in many press conferences. He is absolutely a father figure in Team India's camp, and the team is lucky to have him around when a lot of careers are taking off and getting steady.
