Dhoni is like a diesel engine that keeps going: De Villiers

Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has compared Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to a diesel engine that never stops working. Even at the age of 42, Dhoni is desperate to return to the field after knee surgery. De Villiers said that under the able captaincy of Dhoni, the calm guidance of coach Stephen Fleming and the experience of veterans like Ravindra Jadeja, the Chennai team has performed brilliantly. Dhoni is incredible and last year there was a lot of speculation that Dhoni would retire but he is coming back. No one knows whether the 2024 season will be his last. It just keeps running like a diesel engine.

De Villiers said that because of Dhoni, Chennai got the status of champion. This is a team that scares opponents. Dhoni always finds an option to challenge the rival teams. After winning the title in the 2023 season, the Chennai team will return to the field stronger. They would like to defend their title but there is no pressure on Dhoni or his teammates which makes this team more dangerous. Chennai has full potential to win the second consecutive title.
