Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson stated that MS Dhoni knows how to bring a team envronment together.
He also stated that Dhoni knows how to bring out the best of his players in the team.
Chennai Super Kings are playing their ninth IPL final vs Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
“MS Dhoni just knows how to be able to continue to bring an environment together and just the best out of the players around them. That’s the reason why CSK has always had all these different match winners. It hasn’t just been one or two players that have stood out. He just knows how to allow people to get out of their own way,” Watson said on The Chennai Super Kings Show on Star Sports on Friday.
Watson, who spent three seasons at Chennai and was the player of the match in the 2018 final, was in praise of how Dhoni stood up in the Qualifier 1 against the Delhi Capitals on Monday.
“And, yes, CSK haven’t been reliant on MS to score the runs that he’s had in the past. But when the team needed him the most, just like in that Qualifier match, the great man just stood up as he has so many times in the past. And that for me, is the absolute beauty of him as a leader and also as a cricketer as well to see that human element of just the great man standing up when the team needed him and he did it with flying colours again.”
