Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have made their presence felt in the world of Indian Premier League (IPL), and their success stories have always been a topic of discussion among cricket lovers. The iconic franchise has won the IPL title five times so far, and its stars continue to shine. This season, Simarjit Singh, who plays for Chennai Super Kings, has won everyone's heart with his brilliant bowling. In IPL 2024, he has taken a total of 5 wickets for the team, which testifies to his skill and hard work.

Simarjit Singh's journey is an interesting story. Earlier he used to play as a net bowler for Delhi Capitals, but in the IPL 2022 mega auction, Chennai's team bought him for Rs 20 lakh. Now, he is performing brilliantly in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) and has taken 15 wickets. Recently, he has said some big things about Mahendra Singh Dhoni which shows the depth of his cricket career and emotions.

Sharing his experience with Dhoni, Simarjit Singh said, "Meeting Dhoni feels like a long dream is going on. When as a child you have seen a player playing on TV, winning many trophies, and that player is suddenly standing in front of you, then you are not able to believe whether it is reality or a dream. Every time I meet Dhoni, it feels like a long dream is going on, and I am still in it."

Simarjit expressed his feelings towards Dhoni and said that he always wants Dhoni to continue playing. He said, "I say every time that please Bhaiya (Mahendra Singh Dhoni) do not retire. Teach us and make us play, because the best can be learned from you only in the whole world. I want him to keep playing, as long as I am playing."

Simarjit also told that Dhoni guides him at the mental and skill level, telling what can be done on the wicket and what can be the best options. Dhoni's guidance makes him even more dedicated towards cricket.

Talking about the Delhi Premier League, Simarjit called it a great platform for young players. He said, "The Delhi Premier League is a good platform where youngsters can showcase their talent to the world. It is a very good initiative from the DDCA, which gives everyone a chance to showcase their abilities. Fitness plays a huge role as a fast bowler, and discipline is the fun."

These words of Simarjit Singh not only highlight Dhoni's important role in cricket, but are also a source of inspiration for young players. His association with Chennai Super Kings and his feelings towards Dhoni testify that cricket is not just a game, but also an emotion and a dream.
