Former Australian cricketer Michael Hussey during an interview said that he wants to see MS Dhoni playing for another ten years.
“He’s been an incredible person and player for CSK for so long, and India for that matter, and we hope he keeps playing for another 10 years. I’m not sure we’re going to be able to see that, so hopefully he can play for as long as he can,” Hussey told on Sony Ten’s Pit Stop.
He also praised Virat Kohli for his performances and also for his captaincy. He said that having his ex-captain in the side, some people would find it threatening but Kohli handled things well.

“I think you got to give a lot of kudos to Virat Kohli, having someone like MS Dhoni still in the team who’s been, arguably, India’s most successful captain. Sometimes some people would find that threatening to still have that person in the team,” he stated.
“But that’s where you need to tip your hat to Virat and so you know he’s obviously got the personality to say ‘no, no I would like this guy around. I can learn from this guy, and he’s going to help me get down the better skipper and obviously have a better team’,” he added.
Hussey went to become one of the best cricketers for CSK as well. Right now, he is the batting coach of the side.
Right before the lockdown, some of the players arrived in Chennai and began to practice. MS Dhoni was also one of them. The former Indian captain who didn’t feature in any of the matches since India’s loss in World Cup semifinals was supposed to make a comeback in the IPL 2020. However, due to pandemic, the fate of the tournament is uncertain.
