    Shane Watson’s Reveals Dhoni’s Uniqueness:

    During an Instagram live session set up by Chennai Super Kings, the Australian World Cup winner uncovered what set MS Dhoni’s team separated from different franchises that he has spoken to.

    “You can go for 10 games not scoring runs and still get picked. Last season, thank you to MS Dhoni and Stephen Fleming for keeping the faith,” he said.

    “Every other franchise would have been ‘You are gone. Thank you for coming, but you are sitting and you are running the drinks,'” the all-rounder continued.

    Watson almost repeated his heroics from the previous season in the final against Mumbai Indians, hitting 80 off 59 deliveries before being run out in the final over as CSK fell just short of Mumbai Indians’ total of 149.

    Watson credited CSK skipper Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming for not dropping him and eventually repaid his faith with the string of crucial knocks.

    “Through that period, unfortunately, I felt like I was batting well but I was just not scoring runs and that kept going on and on. At some stage, I was feeling after a couple of games that they are going to have to move me on, but they didn’t.”

    “And then when things turned around, which I knew it would at some stage, I thanked MS and Fleming for keeping the faith, and they said there was never any doubt,” he said.
