“To have experienced both highs and lows, the two championships that I have had with CSK in the year 2018 and 2021, they’ll always be special. Looking forward again for this year’s IPL”, Shardul Thakur said in the video shared by CSK on X.
When asked about his feeling to play under MS Dhoni again, Shardul said, “I think playing under MS Dhoni is always exciting. Mahi [MSD] bhai is never short of guiding a young player. And when I started under him, he was a guiding force to me on the field and of the field. And even this year, I am looking forward to experience it all over again.”
