Dhoni completes 200 IPL matches as captain of CSK
The 41-year-old CSK captain Dhoni, who completed his 200 matches as skipper of the four-time champions side against Rajasthan Royals. Eventually, CSK lost the match by 3-wickets. However, Dhoni impressed his fans and audience with his short cameo.
“Chennai Super Kings know how to get out of tough situations. This has been possible only under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. Captaining 200 matches is very difficult. Captaining so many matches is a burden and it could have affected his performance as well. But Mahi is different. He is a different captain. There hasn’t been a captain like him and there will never be one like him in the future,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.
