JAIPUR: There is a tremendous craze of Mahendra Singh Dhoni among the cricket fans in this year’s IPL season. Such was the fan following of the talismanic cricketer that even he and his team Chennai Super Kings are getting whole-hearted support from the spectators in away games too.
The Dhoni obsession among all the cricket enthusiasts does not surprise Yashasvi Jaiswal. The Rajasthan Royals opening batter said most of the players enjoy the legendary player’s presence on the ground.
“I can understand the fans’ feelings towards Dhoni. He is liked by even the opposing team and their supporters. I also enjoy Dhoni’s game as I am also a big fan of his. However, we must take that in our stride and concentrate on our performance. In the last match, we got overwhelming support from the Jaipur crowd, and I am hoping they would continue to cheer us despite Dhoni’s presence on the ground,” said Yashasvi while addressing the media after the practice session at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Wednesday.
