South Africa cricketer Faf du Plessis has claimed that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni is the best finisher he has ever played with throughout his career.
Expressing his thoughts on Dhoni's abilities under pressure, Faf claimed it's just remarkable to watch MS do what he does best "from the side of the field".
Du Plessis' comments came during a live session with Tamim Iqbal over on Facebook.
"He’s (Dhoni) extremely calm. I haven’t played with someone who is a better finisher than him. It’s just remarkable to watch him from the side of the field."
"If someone else tries to do it like him they won’t be able to. He’s just so unique like he times the ball so late he’s got an incredible calmness. He knows his game and he picks a bowler and goes for it," Faf du Plessis said.
The South African batter also claimed that he learned a lot about how to lead a team from Dhoni during his time at CSK so far.
"It was amazing for me to see how different MS was as a captain. I used to think a captain must speak all the time in team meetings etc but MS was completely different," he said.
"He doesn’t believe a lot in team meetings. He’s a very instinctive captain he’s got such a good cricket brain that he relies on it to make the right decisions on the field," he added.
Du Plessis is a key member of the CSK side for the 13th season of IPL, which BCCI decided to suspend until further notice, as a precautionary measure against the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in India.
The coronavirus outbreak has brought all sports activities to a halt, players are practising social distancing and self-isolation during the pandemic. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the governments all around are urging people to stay at home.
The opening match of this year's IPL was supposed to be played between the most successful teams of IPL - defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 29.
