2026-06-23 · MS Dhoni · Player Focus

MS Dhoni has been named cricket's Roger Federer by Sanju Samson, who praises his effortless elegance and composure.

The comparison was made ahead of the Wimbledon tournament, with Samson highlighting the similarities between the two sports legends.

Sanju Samson was asked to draw parallels between cricket and tennis stars, leading him to liken MS Dhoni to Roger Federer.

The Kerala batter cited Dhoni's calm and composed nature as the reason for the comparison.

Virat Kohli was compared to Carlos Alcaraz by Samson, who noted the aggressive and dynamic nature of their games.

Alcaraz's explosive playing style was seen as similar to Kohli's early career.

The India batter also reflected on the country's recent World Cup successes, including the women's team's maiden ODI World Cup win.

The comparisons highlight the growing interest in drawing parallels between different sports.

Sanju Samson's comments come after India's men's team won the T20 World Cup on home soil, just months after the women's team's triumph.

The India batter looked back on a landmark period for Indian cricket, with the women's team lifting their maiden ODI World Cup.

As of June 2024, India's men's team has won 2 out of their last 5 T20 matches.

The team's recent successes have been marked by strong performances from key players, including Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.

The team will look to build on their recent successes, with a number of key matches coming up in the next few months.

Sanju Samson will be hoping to play a key role in the team's future successes, having already made a name for himself as a talented young batter.

The comparisons between cricket and tennis stars will likely continue, with fans and pundits alike drawing parallels between the two sports.

And with the Wimbledon tournament underway, fans will be eagerly watching to see how their favorite players perform.

But for now, the focus is on Indian cricket, and the team's chances of success in the coming months.

So what can we expect from the team in the future?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - Indian cricket is on the rise, and players like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli will be key to their success.
