Suresh Raina picks MS Dhoni as the best captain India ever had

“I think we have the best captain who has changed the Indian team like anything. Now we have that same aura in our dressing room,” the 33-year-old said on ‘The Super Kings show’ on Star Sports Tamil.

There is a big question on Dhoni’s return to the limited-overs circuit since his break post World Cup 2019 semi-final heartbreak against runner-ups New Zealand. Dhoni is set to be back on the field as IPL action is expected to begin on March 23. The southpaw urged the CSK fans to jampack the MA Chidambaran stadium in every home game.

“We have all the seats available. Hopefully, we’ll have more fans now so that there is it will be more energy on the field,” the out-of-favour batsman said.
