Dhoni's genuine recommendation elicited a cheerful response from the person he was speaking to.

Having made a mark in his early career during a tour to Pakistan, Dhoni played a pivotal role in India's ODI series victory. His notable performance included scoring 179 runs across three matches, with a remarkable knock of 148 that solidified his reputation as a batsman.

Recently, Dhoni underwent knee surgery and is currently undergoing rehabilitation ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan expressed optimism about Dhoni's recovery, indicating that the skipper is progressing well post-surgery and is expected to be fully fit before the 2024 edition of the IPL.
