Legendary India cricketer and one of the nation's finest-ever captains across formats, MS Dhoni, on Sunday turned 43.
MS Dhoni, a name synonymous with calmness in world cricket since he made his debut in 2004 for India, is celberating his 43rd birthday on Sunday.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
Thursday’s washout in Hyderabad meant that Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals as the three confirmed teams for the playoffs and the race is now for only one spot with two teams in fray -- CSK and RCB.
Dhoni's brilliant glovework has many a time turned the fate of the match on its head and the stumping he did in the 2016 T20 World Cup against Bangladesh is a living example of that.
The 35-year-old added that he has learnt a lot from Dhoni's leadership and also from CSK coach and former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming.
Under decorated former India captain Dhoni, CSK have reached the play-offs in all the seasons they have played, winning the crown on three occasions.
Calling Dhoni the best finisher he has played with, Du Plessis said no one can emulate what the dasher from Ranchi can do with the bat.
World-famous for his tactical acumen, Dhoni led India to three big titles – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
