It’s no secret that every cricketer who signs up to play for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) relishes the experience of playing under MS Dhoni. Every year, CSK’s new-recruits express delight at the opportunity to share the dressing room with the legendary cricketer and learn the tricks of the trade from the master tactician. New Zealand opener Devon Conway is no different.
Conway, who has signed up at the IPL 2022 mega auction at his base price of Rs 1 crore, said he was excited to play under the former World Cup-winning captain. However, Dhoni stepped down from the role, bringing down the curtains on a celebrated stint during which he won 4 titles.
However, Conway said he approached MS Dhoni asking him if he didn’t want to continue as captain for another year so that the New Zealand batter could have the opportunity of playing under the legendary skipper.
In a video shared by Chennai Super Kings, Conway revealed the “nice little” conversation he had with Dhoni and the response to his cheeky request.
“I was wanting to play under the great MS (Dhoni) as captain. I had a nice little conversation with him. I said, ‘you’re sure you don’t want to captain one more season so I can play under you as a player.
