'Big Brother, Mr. Cool, Legend' - Delhi Capitals players describe MS Dhoni in one word

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals will lock horns in the 55th match of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, May 10. The four-time champions will aim to consolidate their second spot in the IPL 2023 points table. DC, on the other hand, must have to win the clash in order to stay in the playoff contention.  

CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is regarded as one of the world's most celebrated sportspersons. He has a huge fan base as well as a large following among cricketers all around the world. 

In a recent video shared by DC on Twitter, its players were asked to describe 'Captain Cool' in one 'word' ahead of the game against CSK. The DC players described him as a big brother, legend, finisher, Thalaiva, and the list goes on.

Veteran India pacer Ishant Sharma termed Dhoni as his 'Big Brother' and for all-rounder Axar Patel he is Mr. Cool. Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh called the legendary Indian captain 'Legend' while young Sarfaraz Khan said he is a "big fan" of Dhoni.

Dhoni-led CSK gunning for fifth IPL title

So far, his best score in the cash-rich league is 84 not out.  In the ongoing season, he has scored 76 runs from 11 matches at an average of 76.00 and a strike rate of 200.00.
