Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowling coach Eric Simons recently expressed profound admiration for MS Dhoni’s unwavering influence on the team, emphasizing that Dhoni’s leadership qualities remain consistent, irrespective of his official role. Simons highlighted that Dhoni’s ‘zen-like’ presence and deep understanding of the game continue to guide and inspire the team, even when he isn’t the designated captain. This sentiment was particularly evident following CSK’s victory against Lucknow Super Giants, which ended a challenging five-match losing streak.
Simons noted that Dhoni’s calm demeanor and insightful contributions have a calming effect on the players, fostering a positive environment that transcends formal titles. He emphasized that Dhoni’s approach to cricket teaches the team not just about strategies but also about understanding the essence of the game itself.
This resurgence under Dhoni’s guidance underscores his enduring impact on CSK, reaffirming that his leadership transcends official designations and continues to be a cornerstone of the team’s ethos.
