**Chennai, March 23, 2025** – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad expressed his astonishment at MS Dhoni’s continued prowess at the age of 43, praising the legendary cricketer’s “remarkable” ability. Gaikwad anticipates Dhoni will continue to deliver crucial late-order hits for the team in this year’s IPL.
Dhoni, who is expected to bat at number seven or eight, as he did last season, has impressed Gaikwad and his teammates with his powerful hitting during practice sessions. Gaikwad highlighted Dhoni’s focused training regime, emphasizing his dedication to maximizing sixes and maintaining peak physical condition. Drawing a parallel to Sachin Tendulkar’s continued success in the Master’s League at 50, Gaikwad believes Dhoni has many more years of impactful cricket ahead of him. The CSK captain believes Dhoni’s inspiring form motivates the younger players on the team. The comments come on the eve of CSK’s opening IPL match against the Mumbai Indians.
