For Ojha, it was an unforgettable experience when Dhoni visited his newly constructed house in Hyderabad. “I remember him coming home and I was one of the very few who had a personal relationship with him,” Ojha said on Saturday, as the former India captain announced his retirement from international cricket.

“Honestly, I owe a lot to him as a cricketer because he was always a bowler’s captain, backing the bowler to the hilt. He was a delight in fact for every one in the team,” Ojha said, adding: “I also remember the informal way he used to have those chit-chats with the team members in the evenings. As the evening progressed, we unknowingly came to know how they helped in great team bonding. He was a truly fantastic leader.”
“For sure, MS is one of those cricketers whose shoes no one else can step into. A true phenomenon.”
