Tom Moody, the former Australian cricketer, recently showered praise on the legendary captain, declaring MS Dhoni as his greatest captain in the last 50 years.
“MS Dhoni hands down in my view is the best T20 captain we have ever seen. And he has shown examples of that this year. And if you are talking about Test cricket, I would not put MS Dhoni in that category,”
Tom Moody said.
Chennai Super Kings aim to clinch their fifth IPL title
As the final approaches on May 28, Chennai Super Kings eagerly aim to secure victory. And join arch-rivals Mumbai Indians as five-time champions.
