IPL 2021: 'Calm, composed, chilled out' - Robin Uthappa says CSK youngster is 'much like MS Dhoni'
In a recent interaction, CSK batsman Robin Uthappa said that opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been in tremendous form in IPL 2021 phase 2 currently being played in the UAE - is much like Dhoni.
Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni earned the nickname 'captain cool' because of his cool and calm nature while being on the field. Dhoni's decision-making as captain in some of the most difficult situations in a match was praised throughout his career, as he went on to win three ICC trophies as India captain.
Dhoni as captain also led Chennai Super Kings to three Indian Premier League titles. But now, it seems Dhoni is not the only cool and calm member in the CSK ranks.
