“So, I didn’t realise how good a player he actually is. He’s a beautiful batsman, a graceful player. Just the way he times the cricket ball is fantastic.”
When asked why doesn’t CSK team display any semblance of panic despite defeats in back-to-back games, Hussey said, “It’s been one of the traits of CSK over the years. Obviously, MS Dhoni who’s captained the team for a long time and Stephen Fleming, the coach, are very calm and collected characters all the time.
“The first couple of games didn’t go as per the plans but we are certainly not panicking as these are early stages,” Hussey said.
