Former Indian bowler Zaheer Khan has hailed former MI captain Rohit Sharma and CSK icon MS Dhoni as the league's top players (IPL). On Sunday, April 14, Mumbai's match against Chennai at the storied Wankhede Stadium sets up an interesting matchup. With both sides having new managers, this storied rivalry will see a new chapter written. Speaking on Jio Cinema, Zaheer praised Rohit and Dhoni for the amazing legacies they have created with their individual teams and for having a profound effect on the league as a whole. Zaheer emphasized that Dhoni and Rohit's impact on franchise cricket is still unparalleled, even though he acknowledged Virat Kohli's achievements with the Indian squad.
Though Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are particularly noteworthy in the IPL, Virat Kohli has enjoyed great success with the Indian team. Zaheer stated on Jio Cinema, "They have given so much to their fans, creating countless moments of joy that will be cherished forever." In a MI vs. CSK match, this will be the first time that Rohit and Dhoni will play against each other instead of as captains. Chennai will be captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad, while Mumbai will be led by Hardik Pandya in the El Clásico.
Zaheer also complimented Dhoni and Rohit on their tactical skills, which were essential in helping both teams win five IPL championships apiece. He highlighted the devoted followings they have amassed as a result of their continuously outstanding performances.
They are the most astute strategists in IPL franchise cricket because of their outstanding tactical prowess on the field. This says a lot about their fan base and the kind of respect they have earned over time, Zaheer continued. With 20 wins from 36 games compared to CSK's 16 wins, MI presently has the upper hand in the head-to-head record. Dhoni will try to make the most of what might be his last outing at the Wankhede.
