Sidhu Says MS Dhoni Has Paranormal Ability: After a long retirement from the commentary box, former cricketer cum commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu announced his return as a commentator. Sidhu joined Star Sports who are the official broadcasters of IPL 2024 as a Hindi commentator.
In an interview with India Today, Sidhu was asked about the longevity of MS Dhoni. Sidhu answered that it’s nothing less than a miracle what MS has done.
“Look, it is a miracle, what he has done. He would be 42. I have never seen anyone. There was this guy, Brian Close who played at 41. Once you are not in the swing of things, once you are not playing cricket continuously, you tend to lose out on things. Look at what happened to Ricky Ponting, look at what happened to Matthew Hayden, someone like Tendulkar. It’s not easy to go into hibernation like a bear for six-seven months, and comeback, pick up the bat, and stand there. It’s impossible.” Sidhu said
Sidhu also remembered him holding the bat after 15 years and how it went.
“I still remember Madhavrao Scindia’s son wanted me to play a match. I had not touched a bat, because there was no motivation for me. The only motivation was to play for India. After 15 years, the same shouts were there ‘Sixer Sidhu, Sixer Sidhu’. But, when I held the bat, I realised that there was no way I could hit that ball. So, the first landed on my stumps.” He continued .

Sidhu continued that the reason why MS Dhoni can come from the breaks and bat in good form adds up to his greatness and mentality.
“But, you look at Dhoni. How many years has he not been in the swing of things? Yet, he comes as if nothing has changed. Therefore, this adds to his greatness, to his mental fortitude. He is very strong mentally. More so, he looks supremely fit at 42. And there’s an easy case also, he is an expert at coming in when 3-4 overs are remaining.
If you are fit and you’re prepared to play the game and all those things, I feel it’s a miracle that someone like MS Dhoni still stands like a Rock of Gibraltar when others have fallen like nine pins. Here is someone who is an exception. This man is an exception to the rule. He is a superstar, a man with paranormal ability.” Sidhu added.
