Before the Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans clash, Tom Moody expressed his admiration for the legendary captain of the four-time champions. When asked about the greatest captain in the last 50 years, Moody clearly chose MS Dhoni for this role.
While talking to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, “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.”
If MS Dhoni manages to win the trophy, it will be the fifth title for the Chennai Super Kings and they will equal the record of Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians.
