There is always a media glare on legendry cricketer MS Dhoni. The former India and current Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain often picks his words very carefully. Whatever he says becomes headlines.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 winning CSK captain recently opened up about his teammate Deepak Chahar. Speaking at the Tamil movie ‘Let’s Get Married’ launch, the Captain Cool trolled the pacer with a witty take on his personality.
Dhoni compared Chahar to a ‘drug’. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman explained how Chahar’s absence makes one wonder where he is and his presence makes one question why he is there.
Dhoni feels that Chahar is ‘maturing’. Dhoni admitted that the pacer was moving in the right direction but added he ‘takes time’. Calling it a ‘problem’, Dhoni smiled and said he was unlikely to see Chahar ‘matured’ in his lifetime.
“Deepak Chahar is like a drug. If he is not there, you would think, where is he? If he is around, you would think, why he is here? Good part is that he is maturing but he takes time and that is the problem, in my lifetime, I won’t see him matured,” said Dhoni.
