Although Mahendra Singh Dhoni was out of action for more than a year, there was an expectation, a hope.

He explained that it came as a surprise to all. The CEO also insisted that the larger credit for CSK’s success should be given to Dhoni because India’s legendary keeper-batsman was always clear on his thoughts. “His decision completely took us by surprise but he showed no emotions. He was as cool and calm as ever. The Indian team and CSK have achieved success over the years under Dhoni’s captaincy because there was clarity in his thoughts. On Saturday, too, I could see the same clarity in his decision.”
