Australian batsman Steve Smith recently shared his admiration for MS Dhoni, the iconic Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper, during their stint together in the IPL 2024. Smith, known for his astute cricketing acumen, hailed Dhoni as India’s best wicketkeeper and credited him for his exceptional understanding of the game.

In a statement to ANI, Smith emphasized Dhoni’s unparalleled prowess behind the stumps, stating, “There’s no one better in India to have behind the stumps than MS Dhoni. The way he understands the game and the angles of the game is second to none.” Smith’s words echoed the sentiments of many cricket enthusiasts who admire Dhoni’s cricketing intellect and calm demeanor on the field.

Acknowledging Dhoni’s mentorship and support, Smith highlighted how the veteran cricketer helped him hone his skills and navigate the challenges of professional cricket. “He’s such a chilled guy, obviously extremely busy with loads of things outside the game, but extremely chilled down to earth, and a wonderful person,” Smith remarked, shedding light on Dhoni’s multifaceted persona.

Reflecting on their time together, Smith fondly recalled the positive impact Dhoni had on him both as a player and a leader. “There were many occasions where MS was fantastic. You know, I really enjoyed playing with him. I enjoyed leading him as well. He certainly helped me out,” Smith added, expressing his gratitude for Dhoni’s guidance and camaraderie.

As CSK embarks on its IPL 2024 journey under new leadership with Ruturaj Gaikwad at the helm, Dhoni’s legacy continues to shine bright. The franchise’s stellar start with consecutive wins against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans is a testament to the enduring spirit and winning culture instilled by Dhoni during his remarkable tenure as captain.

CSK’s current position at the top of the IPL 2024 standings with four points underscores the team’s determination to uphold Dhoni’s legacy while forging ahead with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. Dhoni’s impact on cricket, both as a player and a mentor, remains unparalleled, leaving an indelible mark on the sport and inspiring generations of cricketers worldwide.
