MS Dhoni, at the age of 41, has defied all age-related limitations and has continued to be one of the most revered and accomplished cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, he has established himself as a master strategist, possessing unparalleled game-reading abilities and an unwaveringly calm demeanour under pressure. Dhoni’s leadership prowess has earned him the distinction of being the first cricketer to captain a franchise in over 200 matches, a testament to his remarkable consistency and longevity in the sport.
Impressive Dhoni
The Chennai Super Kings, under Dhoni’s guidance, have achieved unparalleled success in the IPL, winning the tournament on four occasions. Dhoni’s exceptional win percentage of 58.87, with 126 wins out of 215 matches, is a clear demonstration of his exceptional leadership qualities, tactical acumen, and ability to motivate and inspire his team. His reputation as a finisher is also well-earned, as he has consistently delivered match-winning performances with his impeccable skills and unflappable temperament, even in high-pressure situations. Owing to these amazing qualities, India’s legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar recently expressed his desire to play under Dhoni’s captaincy in the IPL.
Gavaskar’s wish to play for CSK
In a recent interaction with fans on Star Sports via #AskStar, Gavaskar reaffirmed his fondness for Dhoni by expressing his desire to play under his captaincy. When asked which team he would like to play for in the IPL, Gavaskar initially took the name of the Mumbai Indians, but quickly added that he would love to be a part of the Chennai Super Kings as well, primarily because of Dhoni and the incredible support they receive from their fans.
“If not Mumbai Indians then I would like to play for Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings for two reasons, firstly, the Chennai owners are passionate about cricket, they have done so much for the sport. Srinivasan sir has done a lot for cricket. And the second big reason would be to sit in the dressing room with MS Dhoni and see how he captains the team. Is he as calm and composed in the dressing room as he is on the field? Does he lose his cool when someone has dropped a catch or somebody didn’t back up a fielder? That’s what I would like to know,” Gavaskar said.
