Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s strategic persona is really good: Moeen Ali
Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Moeen Ali was all praise for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He expressed that with the legendary cricketer as the leader, the team always has a chance to win. He further added that he cannot predict his strategies, even after being with the team for three seasons. Moeen Ali said,
“Everyone knows that Dhoni is a special player and a special captain. He is a very good guy. I have played three seasons but I don’t know what he is going to come up with. His strategic persona is really good. It is exciting as a player – what role he has for you. When you are playing for CSK with Dhoni as the captain, whether the team is weak or strong on paper, you always have a chance of winning.”
