After this, Robin Minz started playing cricket under MS Dhoni’s childhood coach Chanchal Bhattacharya. Chanchal says, “The young boy used to keep wickets and soon hit the ball out of the field as well. When Mahi made his debut in India, there was only one cricket academy in Ranchi. Now there are 15. I have no doubt in saying this. The demand for wicketkeeping gloves is high in Ranchi and young cricketers prefer to have long hair.”
