Former India and CSK batsman Subramaniam Badrinath gave a deep insight into the leadership skills of MS Dhoni, saying if Dhoni doesn't place his trust in you than even god cannot help you.

Badrinath played under the leadership of MS Dhoni for 6 IPL seasons and the Tamil Nadu cricketer revealed that Dhoni believed he was good and also believed in roles for each player.

"Dhoni always felt that roles are very important, and most of the time, mine was to get the team out of tough situations,� Badrinath was quoted.

MS Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains in the history of the Indian Premier League as he has won three IPL trophies as a captain and played in nine of the 12 finals so far. Dhoni is the most successful captain in the IPL in terms of the number of matches won throughout the tournament.

Subramaniam Badrinath also revealed that MS Dhoni's biggest strength as a captain is that he will always be ready to give a player that extra chance.

"My role was there in the middle order. The biggest strength of Dhoni is that he gives players that extra chance. If Dhoni believes Badri is good, that�s it. Badri is there. Once he believes it�s right, he sticks to the process. �I will give him chances, let him prove himself.�

"Similarly, if he believes you are not good enough, even god cannot help you. He has his own mindset and sticks to it no matter what."
