Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has compared the leadership styles of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni and he labelled the former as "superhuman". Watson played under Virat at Royal Challengers Bangalore and under Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
When it comes to franchise cricket, especially the Indian Premier League (IPL), some players have formed fantastic relationships with their respective teams by representing them over a long period of time. One player that comes to our mind when thinking on similar lines is definitely Suresh Raina and his long and emotional attachment to his ex-team Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Recently, in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, CSK parted ways with him which did raise a few eyebrows considering his all-round contribution and his leadership role in the team over the years. However, with age and a fickle form catching up on Raina, the love story with CSK eventually came to an end.
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has defended Karachi Kings captain Babar Azam despite the team's inability to register even a single win in the current season of the Pakistan Super League. The Kings lost to Multan Sultans on Wednesday, to register their 8th loss in as many matches in PSL 2022. When asked whether the team needs a change in leadership next season, Butt used examples of great captains like MS Dhoni and Ricky Ponting to explain his point.
Suresh Raina will not take part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the first time since the inception of the tournament back in 2008. Raina, who was released by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL auction, went unsold in the two-day event in Bengaluru last week. Raina was a part of CSK since the tournament's inaugural edition, barring two seasons (2016 and 2017) when the franchise was banned from taking part in the cash-rich league. He had led the now defunct Gujarat Lions for two seasons.
Virat Kohli achieved a huge milestone on Wednesday during India's 44-run series-clinching win over West Indies in the 2nd ODI in Ahmedabad, joining the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni in an elite list. Kohli's latest milestone is that of playing 100 ODI matches at home. The former India skipper reached the landmark figure while representing the team against West Indies in Wednesday's second ODI. Kohli was dismissed for 18 and India posted 237/9 before bowling West Indies out for 193 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
Former India captain MS Dhoni was recently seen trying his hand at shooting and tennis, just days ahead of the (Indian Premier League) IPL 2022 mega auction. In videos shared on Instagram by the user @bajaj.sumeetkumar, Dhoni could be seen playing tennis last week. More recently, the user also shared photos and a video of Dhoni trying his hand at shooting. The IPL 2022 mega auction is set to be held over two days on February 12 and 13. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Dhoni will be an important part of the team's think tank as they seek to build a strong team ahead of the new season.
MS Dhoni is considered by many to be Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) most successful player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter will be captaining CSK once again in IPL 2022 after being retained by the franchise. Having led CSK to four IPL titles, he will be once again hoping to impress in the upcoming season. Ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, former IPL auctioneer Richard Madley shared an interesting story on how Dhoni started "the first bidding war" in the tournament's auction history, with CSK buying the former captain for 1.5 million dollars. In a candid conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin, Madley opened up about the inaugural IPL 2008 auction. He also spoke about how buying Shane Warne was a "smart move" by Rajasthan Royals (RR), who won the 2008 edition.
India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja recently completed a decade with Indian Super League (ISL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Celebrating the milestone, CSK posted a tweet on Friday with a two-picture compilation containing a photo of Jadeja presumably from 10 years back and another from recent times. "10 Years of Super Jaddu," tweeted CSK. Jadeja responded to CSK's tweet with a tongue-in-cheek remark of his own. "10 more to go," replied Jadeja. The CSK star added a laughter emoji to his tweet, conveying the playful tone of his message.
