There can’t be a bigger cricketer in India than MS Dhoni: Harbhajan Singh

TIL Desk Sports / Having won the Southern Derby away from home against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings returned to their home at Chepauk and went on to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad, in their next IPL match by seven wickets on Friday.

Led by their inspirational captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, CSK returned to winning ways as they lost to Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring last-over thriller in their last league game played on home soil. SRH have never been able to beat CSK at Chepauk in IPL, and the Super Kings kept their record intact.

Expectedly, a sea of yellow filled the stadium as the Yellow Army faced its Orange counterpart, led by South African Aiden Markram. ‘Thala’ Dhoni was once again the cynosure of all eyes as CSK arrived at their Anbuden.

Hailing the bond between Chennai Super Kings fans and MS 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 Singh said, “Mahendra Singh Dhoni is only one. There cannot be a bigger cricketer than him in India.
