Former Pakistan captain heaps massive praise on MS Dhoni

Former Pakistan captain and legendry batsman Ramiz Raja feels the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will be remembered for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni.

Recalling some of the biggest moments of IPL 2023, the former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman pointed at the incident involving Little Master Sunil Gavaskar and Dhoni. During CSK’s last home game of the season, Gavaskar requested for autograph from Dhoni.

“IPL 2023 will be remembered for the yellow brigade and for MS Dhoni. His humility, the Dhonimania, his captaincy, his calmness, and his keeping will be remembered for the ages. But most of all, IPL 2023 will be remembered for the moment when a legend like Sunil Gavaskar asked Dhoni to sign an autograph on his shirt. There cannot be a bigger complement for Dhoni. It will be remembered for young batting talents like Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad. These are stars who will decorate these grounds for many years to come,” said Gavaskar during an interview.

Moreover, Raja labelled the 16th edition of the tournament as the greatest season ever.

“The season will also be remembered for the big names that were benched and players from small nations who made a big mark. This IPL will be remembered for the fans, for great shot making and for great catching. IPL 2023 had a wow factor. There has never been a spectacle as big in IPL history,” said Raja.
