“He always remains calm and no matter what the situation is, he is always in control,” stated Devgn.
One of the most sought-after cricket players in the world is MS Dhoni. As long as he plays in the Indian Premier League, his legacy cannot be considered lost. Following a 28-year break, he guided India to the 50-over World Cup, therefore he has a special bond with the supporters. He is still the only skipper in history to win every ICC trophy. Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn considers himself one of his diehard followers.
During Friday’s match between the Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, he was advertising his movie and said he was a fan of Captain Cool. Regarding Dhoni’s behaviour on the pitch, Devgn emphasised that it is impossible to understand the thoughts of the wicket-keeper batsman. He went on to say that even the worst of times could inspire hope when Dhoni is around. Priya Mani, Devgn’s co-star, chimed in, saying the former skipper of CSK ought to continue batting at his current position.
“I have never seen Dhoni under duress as captain, except from the fact that he is an excellent hitter. I did not see the pressure on his face, even if it might have been there on the inside. No matter what is going on, he never loses his composure and maintains control. The team feels more confident in Dhoni because of his control; they believe he has a plan and would see things through to completion. Observing Dhoni’s relaxed expression during a crucial moment in the match gives one hope that something would break. “This is his area of expertise,” Devgn stated on Star Sports.
“Not at all. He is performing well where he is playing, therefore there is nothing he needs to change, Priyamani continued.

MS Dhoni resigned as captain of CSK.
Ahead of the first IPL match of 2024, the former captain of India resigned from his role as captain of CSK. The captain was announced as Ruturaj Gaikwad. Additionally, he has experience coaching the young Indian squad to the 2023 Asian Games Gold Medal. It’s important to remember that CSK had already tried out the captaincy role by selecting Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja, though, made the decision to stick to being a player.
