‘The playground transformed into Dhoni’s Pathshaala’ – Suresh Raina reacts to video of MS Dhoni’s interaction with SRH youngsters

Every budding cricketer in the world aspires to play in the Indian Premier League for a reason. In addition to providing the youngsters a stage to display their skills to the world, the tournament gives them a chance to benefit from the knowledge of some of the legendary players of the game. And on April 21, Friday, players of Sunrisers Hyderabad surrounded CSK skipper MS Dhoni at the Chepauk Stadium and indulged in some serious conversation with the legendary wicketkeeper-batter.

CSK maintained their excellent form against SRH on Friday with a seven-wicket victory, their second at home in the current season of the IPL. After the game, the cameraman captured Dhoni with most likely all of the SRH unit’s youngsters as they were paying close attention when the CSK skipper spoke as it looked like an intense teaching session.

West Indies’ fame Ian Bishop and former CSK player Suresh Raina too shared the same on their respective social media handles as videos and pictures went viral. When the cameraman showed the same on the Television, the commentators were heard saying:

“Look at that. That’s a fantastic picture. The guru has a few words to say and all the youngsters that are there are all ears.”

While Dhoni’s close friend, former CSK vice-captain, and another legend of the game- Suresh Raina- shared a picture of the moment on April 22, Saturday, and wrote:

“Yet another dominant performance by @ChennaiIPL! The lions have once again proven their mettle on the field. And post-match, the playground transformed into Dhoni’s Pathshaala @msdhoni, it’s always a masterclass when you learn from the best, isn’t it? #IPL2023 #CSKvsSRH.”

Ian Bishop, sharing a video of the same on his Twitter handle, wrote:

“That footage of MSD with the SRH guys at the end of the CSK vs SRH #TATAIPL2023 game was super. Students devouring every word of the teacher.”

With pace phenom Umran Malik in the middle, Dhoni was seen passionately speaking with the players. Later, Abdul Samad, who has been widely regarded as SRH’s finisher but is yet to deliver a memorable performance, was also seen having a prolonged conversation with Dhoni.
