Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni will once again lead his side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final when the four-time champions take on holders Gujarat Titans in the summit clash. 

Dhoni has once again shown why he is considered one of the best captains of all time during the ongoing season. The former India captain continues to enthrall fans and experts with his captaincy strategies despite not having played much with the bat.

Especially, Dhoni’s utilization of young Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Patirana has been a work of art.

However, this is not the first time that Dhoni has taken a youngster under his tutelage and turned him into a master.

The success of the CSK franchise has been explained by pacer Deepak Chahar, who has improved significantly under Dhoni’s guidance.

“The ambiance is different. Like, everything is optional here. No one will say anything like ‘You go to the practice. You go to the gym.’ You are a professional. It’s your responsibility to see what you have to do. You can practice if you want. Or do it tomorrow, or it is okay if you don’t want to. If you want to take a rest, that’s okay. But one thing is sure; you have to perform on the field,”

Chahar told Gaurav Kapur on Breakfast with Champions.

Chahar added that even when the chips are down, you won’t notice any signs of fear inside the dressing room, mainly due to Dhoni’s cool and collected attitude.

“Even if we lose the match, nobody will come and point fingers at you. Mahi Bhai doesn’t say anything either. We didn’t perform well for a season but the atmosphere was still good. There is no pressure on anyone. Another big reason is Mahi Bhai. When I first came to CSK, I noticed that he always sat with juniors during team dinners. If he feels something is right, he will stick with it,”

he added.

On Sunday, CSK will compete in the IPL final for the tenth time. If they win, they will tie Mumbai Indians for the most trophies in the history of the tournament (5).
