CSK pacer Simarjeet Singh reveals Playing under MS Dhoni is ‘the best feeling’
The world of cricket usually speaks of the aura that surrounds certain players. MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain and current Chennai Super Kings enigma, is undoubtedly one such figure. His influence extends far beyond the boundaries, and for young pacer Simarjeet Singh, sharing dressing room with Dhoni is akin to witnessing your dreams come true in reality.
Simarjeet Singh was handed his IPL debut at CSK in the 2022 season and was under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Although he didn’t have a breakout season, it showed his raw talent. Four wickets in six games but at an immaculate economy rate of 7.67. Unfortunately for him, injuries plagued him, forcing Simarjeet to miss the entire 2023 season. However, he came strong and featured for four more games earlier this year at IPL 2024.
Having MS Dhoni’s arms around your shoulder should feel nothing less than outlandish and the Delhi pacer didn’t shy when he was asked about MS Dhoni. Simarjeet Singh said, “It was a dream not even a dream but more than that to play under him. The best feeling I have had in my career.”
The 26-year-old has been the wrecker-in-chief in the ongoing Delhi Premier League T20. Representing the East Delhi Riders, Simarjeet has been a dangerous bowling threat, bagging 15 scalps.
