Former India speedster RP Singh has recently opened up about former India captain MS Dhoni – who has announced his retirement from international cricket recently. However, the former pace bowler believed that Dhoni actually wanted to bat at number 4 but the team management felt that he could be a good finisher.

"If I am not wrong, MS himself had said in an interview that he wanted to bat at number 4 but maybe the team thought there was none better than him to absorb the pressure in the late order," RP Singh told Cricket.com.

He shared, "If you talk about the history of the game, you will never get a player like Dhoni who has won so many matches from batting at that position. We have spoken about Bevan and all but MS was a completely different beast."

The former fast bowler again said that Dhoni is arguably the most successful captain of the game. He is the first and only captain to win all three ICC trophies.

"He has always been a down to earth and very composed person. We used to complain that he never takes our calls. Once he told Munaf (Patel) and I, that, when he retires, he would pick up the phone in just half-a-ring. Now we will check if really has retired," Singh said.
