IPL 2021: From worst to best, CSK complete turnaround story, Dhoni says ‘means a lot’

IPL 2021 – CSK Worst to Best: CSK skipper MS Dhoni was super pleased that his side made it to the playoffs in what has been a hugely dominant campaign by the three-time champions. Coming off their worst-ever season, Dhoni and Co. have not let their opponents an inch, outclassing them in all departments to rise to the top of the standings in some style, qualifying for the playoffs at ease. After the win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, the CSK captain said that the change in fortunes “meant a lot” and as he breathed a sigh of relief.

IPL 2021: Dhoni said, “It means a lot, because the last time, we said we wanted to come back strong. We are known for that and there was a lot at stake. You won’t always win games and a lot didn’t go our way last time, and it’s important not to make excuses and we have done that this year. “

The Chennai Super Kings captain added, “The boys did well to keep the momentum going, and they’ve taken responsibilities to keep all departments of the game in balance so the players and the support staff get the credit. Not much needs to be said of the fans, who have supported us through thick and thin and I’m glad we have repaid their faith.”
