Ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League season, Sunil Gavaskar heaped praise on Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He expressed that admires the wicket-keeper’s attitude, behaviour and cricketing acumen. He also added that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a great role model for everyone. In a video shared by Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said,
“I have been his fan since the first time I watched him play. A fan wishes to meet his hero, chat with him, take his autograph, and click a picture. I saw he was taking a victory lap to thank the crowd at the Chepauk Stadium, during their final home game. I thought this was a good time because I admire Dhoni a lot for his cricket, his attitude, and his behaviour. As a role model, you have the responsibility to treat others well. He is a very good role model. The way he calmly conducts himself. “
