Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian cricketing legend, has come to the defense of Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni amidst criticism from fans and analysts alike. Dhoni, who has faced scrutiny for his inclusion in the CSK squad at 43 years old, has been accused of being selfish for continuing to play in the Indian Premier League.
Despite the backlash, Gavaskar has praised Dhoni for his commitment to the team and believes that the decisions he makes are always in the best interest of Chennai Super Kings. Gavaskar emphasized that players like Dhoni always prioritize what is best for the team, rather than themselves.
Chennai Super Kings, a team that has won the IPL title five times, has had a disappointing season this year. They find themselves at the bottom of the table with just 4 points, and have already been eliminated from the competition. This has only fueled the criticism towards Dhoni and his leadership.
However, Gavaskar’s words of support come at a crucial time for Dhoni, who has been under immense pressure due to the team’s poor performance. The cricketing legend’s endorsement of Dhoni’s decisions and commitment to the team may serve as a morale boost for the embattled skipper and his team.
