IPL 2022 Auction: Chetan Sakariya Hails MS Dhoni, Says His Dream is to Play Under CSK Captain

IPL 2022 Auction: Hailing the CSK captain, Sakariya reckons his game would improve if he plays under Dhoni. 

Chennai: For most, playing under MS Dhoni is a dream and ex-Rajasthan Royal star Chetan Sakariya is no different. The young left-arm pacer has expressed his desire to play for Chennai Super Kings days ahead of the IPL mega auction. Hailing the CSK captain, Sakariya reckons his game would improve if he plays under Dhoni.

“The last auction changed my life. My dream is to play under MS Dhoni. He has helped so many bowlers evolve. And to pick his brain, watch him prepare, can take my game to a different level,” Sakariya told News9.

“Dhoni is any bowler’s dream and it will be surreal to play and learn under him. I would love to play under him if I get a chance. But of course, I will give my best in whichever team I go to.”

Dhoni is arguably the most successful IPL captain and it is a dream of every youngster looking to make a mark to play under him.

Sakariya, who got a national call-up following a good IPL season, recalled his time in the Indian dressing-room during the Sri Lankan tour.

“The first time I walked into the Indian dressing room, it was like a kid entering the house of his dreams. I was that kid and was just curiously watching everyone as in how they prepare, their body language and all. I knew that I had to wait for my chance but made sure that I observed and picked up things from senior players. They all were very welcoming,” Sakariya recalled.
