MS Dhoni Is Determined To Set CSK’s Ball Rolling: Parthiv Patel

“He (MS Dhoni) had an indifferent season last year but as we saw how keen he is (spoke to him few times) and he is very determined to get CSK’s ball rolling to start with. These are the teams who have done well and they know that once they win the first game or the second game – they can start believing again. So, it won’t take much of time for CSK to start the tournament in a positive manner,” Patel said on Star Sports show Cricket Connected.
