will captain Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2025 opener as Hardik Pandya serves a one-match ban due to last season’s over-rate offence.
“Has anyone ever been able to control him (for) so many years?” SKY asked with laughter.
“It’s always an excitement when you come to Chennai, when you watch him come out of the dressing room, it’s always a good thing,” said a smiling SKY.
He added that Dhoni remains a constant source of learning and he’s excited to lead against him.
“We’ve learnt so many things from him. We still learn. Whenever we get an opportunity, we chat with him. “So, I’m really excited to see him again tomorrow, but from the other side. I’m leading against him. So, it’s a good challenge,” he added.
“Uncapped player!” Surya laughed again.
Gavaskar on MS Dhoni
Sunil Gavaskar earlier spoke about the speculation around Dhoni’s participation in IPL 2025
“Every time people question MS Dhoni, he proves them wrong. Don’t doubt his ability. Even at this age, he’s hitting sixes not just past the boundary but into the stands during practice. Age is just a number when it comes to Dhoni,” Sunil Gavaskar said on JioHotstar.
Ahead of the CSK vs MI match in Chepauk, Dhoni himself spoke about it.
“I can play for as long as I want for CSK. That’s my franchise. Even if I’m in a wheelchair, they’ll drag me,” he added.
