Gaikwad: Dhoni focused on hitting as many sixes as possible
MS Dhoni arrived in Chennai in February to prepare for IPL 2025. He doesn't play any cricket in between. He's 43 years old. And he remains as important to Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) chances of success as he has ever been, performing the same role that he used to play - the finisher - but in a reduced capacity: batting for a couple of overs, trying to hit everything out of the ground.
"I think his training is very much limited to whatever he tries to achieve," Ruturaj Gaikwad, the CSK captain, said on the eve of their game against Mumbai Indians.
"Or whatever his role would be in the IPL. So, it is pretty much very simple, focused on trying to hit as much as sixes as possible and trying to get the right swing, trying to be in the best shape.
"That is what I think initially he was trying to do. And then I never thought he was out of shape even on the first day. So, I think obviously he is special - he's done it for so many years.
