Before their match against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, the Delhi Capitals team shared a touching video on Twitter in which they discussed what MS Dhoni means to them. In the Indian Premier League, Dhoni has once again steered CSK to victory. As they attempted to sum up what the CSK captain means to them in one word, it appears that many of the current Delhi Capitals players are avid MS Dhoni supporters.
Dhoni, who has guided CSK to the title on four occasions and is doing it again this year, is a true IPL legend. The four-time IPL Champions, who are second on the IPL 2023 points table and appear to be favourites to make the playoffs, are led by the former Indian captain.
Here’s the viral video:

CSK and DC will square off in Chepauk on Wednesday
From a batting perspective, the 2023 season has also been successful for Dhoni, who has participated in 10 games and has a strike rate of 200. Although many have predicted that the CSK captain's time in the IPL may be up, he has kept both fans and analysts guessing about how long he will remain in the league.
When challenged about his impending retirement at the toss versus LSG, Dhoni responded to commentator Danny Morrison by saying he had never made a statement regarding the matter. At the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium on May 3, Dhoni responded to Morrison's inquiry with a smile, "You've decided it is my last."
In advance of Wednesday's match at the Chepauk stadium against CSK, the DC squad players have now shared what Dhoni means to them in one word. While DC vice-captain Axar Patel referred to Dhoni as captain cool, Ishant Sharma praised him as a big brother. In the video posted by DC on Twitter, there were a lot more emotional responses from people like Mitchell Marsh, Priyam Garg, and Khaleel Ahmed.
After winning four of their previous five games, DC enters the match against CSK in excellent form and will try to maintain their playoff aspirations on Wednesday.
