New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson has recently said that bowling to big players like former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni gives important insight into how to bowl to other players which also plays a key role in the game.

Anderson has said that MS Dhoni is considered as one of the best finishers in the game and whenever he was bowling to him in the Indian Premier League (IPL) while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he would have senior players like India captain Virat Kohli or former South Africa player AB de Villiers in his ears all the time in the game.

"He is one of the greats of the game, one of the best finishers in the world. Very difficult to bowl to him. I had Virat Kohli at long-on, AB de Villiers at long-off. They were continuously running in to say what do we do, what was I thinking, what should I do," Corey Anderson shared this in a live chat on Sportstar's Instagram handle.

"Even their thoughts were like ‘if you bowl here, he will hit you for a six' and ‘if you bowl there, he will hit you for a six'. You can subdue the moment. You know that you aren't the first one, he has done it to every bowler in the world at some point of time," he further added.

Corey Anderson was about to take part in the 2020 Indian Premier League as part of the broadcasting team after going unsold in the auctions. But the league has been postponed for the indefinite time period amid the global pandemic coronavirus outbreak across the globe.

"Once you bowl to those guys, it gives you a massive insight to bowl to other guys. You gain confidence once you bowl to these bigger guys like Dhoni. At times, it is demoralising but it can make you a better cricketer," he said.
