Quotes
Mohit Sharma
Former India fast bowler who played under Dhoni for India and CSK.
“CSK’s focus has always been on creating a group where people are genuinely good human beings—where everyone shares a common mindset and works toward overall development. Having spent four to five years with CSK, the most positive aspect I noticed--whether you talk about Mahi bhai or the entire management staff, including Stephen Fleming, the physios, trainers, and everyone involved--was their shared philosophy: first win the dressing room, then go out and win on the field.”

“It was a great experience playing under Mahi bhai. I was fortunate that for the majority of the cricket I played for India, Mahi bhai was the captain. When you spend a long time under a single captain, they understand your strengths and weaknesses, and they utilise you accordingly.”
