Mr. Cricket Michael Hussey is all excited to play alongside MS Dhoni in the forthcoming Indian Premier League season. Hussey pointed out Dhoni’s abilities, which he would like to imbibe, while playing with him in the Chennai Super Kings.
“I would like his power (laughs). I would love to have his equanimity at the end of the innings. Sometimes, it might look that I have it but I’ll tell you right now that I don’t,” Hussey said.
Hussey hails Dhoni’s prowess with the bat and added that the CSK and India skipper knows how to win matches from crunch situation. He also pointed out Dhoni’s ability to remain calm and positive under pressure.
“MS [Dhoni] is just fantastic to bat with at the end of the innings because he is so cool and he has got it all planned out. He knows exactly what needs to be done to win the game. In a similar situation, I tend to panic a lot, wanting to get it done with as quickly as possible.
“He is very methodical in breaking down the target into fractions and playing the situation. While I sometimes get nervous thinking, ‘Oh we’re falling behind the rate’, he is very positive all the time saying, ‘No need to worry, we are right on target’ – very assured and very confident throughout.”
