Now in a dialog with ESPNCricinfo, Sri Lankan hurry narrative Muttiah Muralitharan has long past on to half his ideas on the incident. The Lankan spinner, who holds the file of plucking essentially the most alternative of wickets in ODIs and Tests, feels it was as soon as on yarn of of his doosra, Dhoni decided to approach earlier than Yuvraj.

He was as soon as alleged to approach but I mediate on yarn of of me Dhoni got right here (earlier than Yuvraj),” said Muralitharan. 

Muralitharan even claimed aside from Dhoni it was as soon as neutral Sachin Tendulkar, who might per chance per chance also be taught his doosras. 

“Sachin (Tendulkar) undoubtedly be taught it. I believed Rahul (Dravid) didn’t be taught it that nicely. (VVS) Laxman be taught it to boot to (Gautam Gambir) Gambhir. (Virender) Sehwag I’ve now not know if he be taught it your complete time.”

“When I bowled the doosra, I didn’t spend the seam. So with the seam, chances are high you’ll now not survey it, chances are high you’ll per chance per chance also need to survey it from my wrist. Amongst the Sri Lankan gamers, (Kumar) Sangakkara, Mahela (Jayawardene), Aravind de Silva, Marvan Atapattu be taught it. (Tilakaratne) Dilshan in no map had a clue,” said the ex-Lankan cricketer.
