MS Dhoni is an emotion for many cricket fans across the nation for what he has done for the Indian Cricket team and his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The 'Captain Cool' is undoubtedly one of the most loved cricketers in the world and has earned respect even from players from opposition teams. It is a regular for the legendary skipper to give a valuable session for the youngsters after every match of CSK, and they are eager to learn from him.

Meanwhile, ahead of the Delhi Capitals' match against CSK at the Chepauk Stadium on Wednesday, May 10, the Delhi-based franchise shared a video of their players describing Dhoni in one word on its Twitter handle. The heartwarming video starts with the CSK skipper hammering in the nets, followed by the veteran bowler Ishant Sharma calling Dhoni his "big brother".

Star all-rounder Axar Patel hailed the 2011 World Cup-winning captain as "Mr Cool", while Mitchell Marsh summed up Dhoni as a "legend". Some of the DC youngsters referred to the 41-year-old as "Captain," "Finisher," and "Thaliva."

The under-19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull remarked "Legend forever", while Priyam Garg responded "Aisa koi word hi nahi hai unke liye, wo bilkul alag hain". First-class cricket sensation Sarfaraz Khan said he is a "big fan" of Dhoni before the video ended with Mukesh Kumar bowing respectfully.

A crucial match awaits Delhi Capitals

With four wins from 10 games, David Warner and Co are currently sitting at the bottom of the IPL 2023 points table. The 16th edition of the cash-rich league is shaping up to be an exciting one as no team has yet secured a playoff berth and no team has been knocked out of the tournament yet. Hence, a win against Dhoni-led CSK is crucial for DC to stay alive in the race for the playoffs.

DC has had a rough start to their campaign, but they have made an incredible comeback, winning four of their last five games. On the other hand, CSK are currently second in the points table with 13 points and a win tonight will almost ensure their entry to the next round.
