There can’t be a bigger cricketer in India than MS Dhoni, says Harbhajan Singh | Cricket News – Times of India
Apart from match winners Ravindra Jadeja (3/22) and opening batter Devon Conway (77 not out), Dhoni put on a clinic behind the stumps, snapping up Aiden Markram before stumping Mayank Agarwal. Later he also ran out Washington Sundar, overcoming a troublesome knee injury.
SRH managed just 134-7, and the hosts overhauled the target with eight balls to spare for a seven-wicket win, which took them to No. 3 on the points table, behind leaders Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants on net run-rate.
The Sunrisers have never been able to beat CSK at Chepauk in IPL, and the Super Kings kept their record intact.
Hailing the bond between CSK fans and Dhoni, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh — who has donned the CSK yellow jersey in the past — claimed the wicketkeeper-batter has accepted all the adulation from the fans with the utmost respect.
Speaking on Star Sports Cricket Live show, Harbhajan said, “Mahendra Singh Dhoni is only one. There cannot be a bigger cricketer than him in India. Someone could have scored more runs than him and someone could have taken more wickets than him, but no one has a bigger fanbase than him.
“Dhoni has accepted this fandom to heart and he respects his teammates as well. He walks with so much love and emotion that anyone else would go mad, but Dhoni has carried this love and emotion in his heart for 15 years and he still hasn’t changed at all.”
