Chappell noted that Dhoni has developed decision-making strategic skills by playing against more experienced players.
Craig Chappell of Australia was the head coach of the Indian team from 2005 to 2007. He posted on a private news site about his experience then.
Here is what he had to say about former India captain Dhoni:
One of the players (Dhoni) who knows all the intricacies of the game of cricket. His decision-making ability set him apart from other contemporaries. Many more cities on the Indian subcontinent lack training facilities. The youth there are playing in the streets and vacant lots without proper training. This is where many of the current stars are learning the game. One of them is Dhoni from Ranchi, Jharkhand.
Dhoni is one of the best batsmen I have worked with in India, who have developed skills and learned to play in their style. By playing against more experienced players at the beginning of his development, Dhoni developed his decision-making and strategic skills. Thus he mentioned.
