South African all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius, who is preparing for the upcoming T20 series against India is impressed with his IPL team Chennai Super Kings’ skipper MS Dhoni.

Pretorius who made his IPL debut in the 2022 season has been selected for the upcoming 5 match T20 series between India and South Africa which is set to begin on 9th June in Delhi.

Although the 33-year-old cricketer did not get many opportunities with the 4-time IPL champions in the 15th edition of the cash-rich league, playing alongside Dhoni is the biggest takeaway from his maiden season. 'I really enjoyed playing under Dhoni and batting with him seeing the brand value he has in India just shows how big he is and what he has done for the country'

He further revealed that the biggest thing that he has learned from the CSK skipper is his calmness and how he takes off the pressure from himself and tries to put it on the bowlers.
