XtraTime Web Desk: Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is well known for his cool and calm nature. But the cricket fraternity saw an emotional Dhoni as he spoke on his return to Chennai Super Kings in the season 11 of Indian Premier League.
The star wicket-keeper batsman was a part of CSK since the beginning of IPL back in 2008. Under his leadership CSK reached in all play-offs and won the title twice. They were back to back champions in 2010 and 2011 and became runners-up four times (2008, 2012, 2013 and 2015).
Anyone can tell that CSK is arguably the best team in IPL. The South Indian outfit was banned for two years from participating in the league in last two seasons after a spot-fixing controversy.
After the team faced ban, the players from CSK played in different franchises. Skipper MS Dhoni was a part of Rising Pune Supergiant (IPL) for last couple of seasons.

“As I said it was, I knew I would play for the Pune team but the actual moment comes when you start walking with the team-sheet in your hand till that point of time its only practice and everything. It was a very emotional moment…since I have started playing T20 cricket represented the Indian cricket team, Jharkhand team in few tournaments and CSK for eight years, so it was an emotional moment not to see myself in yellow,” Dhoni said at the event.
“But at the same time as professionals, we have to move ahead and also not to prove to anyone but to prove a point to myself that I am making sure whatever I gave in for CSK, I am not leaving any inch that I am not giving for the Pune team,” he added.
