MS Dhoni took over the reins of the Chennai Super Kings, leading them to their third win of the season and keeping alive the hopes of making the play-offs no matter how improbable it may sound. He took over the captaincy from Ravindra Jadeja after CSK struggled to get off their mark under the all-rounder’s leadership.
Even though the current mess that CSK finds themselves in, it will need a lot more than a handful of decent performances for them to qualify. However, it never hurts to celebrate the moments that one gets in the marathon journey of the IPL.
This is what MS Dhoni did for Dale Steyn
Fans believe that Dhoni’s presence as a leader in the side will be motivating the team to pull off the unthinkable which may still see them featuring in the play-offs. Play-offs or not, it seems that it isn’t just the fans who admire the former Indian captain. He commands similar respect from his fellow teammates and oppositions.
Just after the game, Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowling coach, Dale Steyn would go up to him and seek for an autograph of the CSK skipper. Well, when two greats of the game meet, there is a lot of love for grabs. Dhoni signed the jersey instantly, making it a moment for both the individuals to cherish.
When MS went for the toss, Danny Morrison would ask him the perennial question whether MS would be featuring in the following year’s tournament, exactly like the Kiwi commentator asked him in 2021. Dhoni had an amazing answer that would send the internet crazy.
He would go onto state, “You’ll definitely see me in the yellow jersey, whether it is this one, or some other one, you never know. You need to realise the current situation. We have dropped catches, those are the things you want to omit. Those are the areas you need to work on. We have a couple of changes. Bravo and Dube are out. Devon and Simarjeet Singh are in.”
