In an interaction with the Times of India, Buttler spoke about his admiration for the former Indian captain and the moments which made him fall in love with the legend.

While MS Dhoni has not enjoyed his time in this year’s IPL, both as a captain and a batsman. Buttler, on the hand, has churned out a few match-winning performances for the Jaipur-based franchise.

Most recently, Buttler remained unbeaten on 22 as the Royals registered a seven-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab on Friday to keep their IPL 2020 playoffs hopes alive.

MS Dhoni fails to take CSK to the playoffs

For the first time in CSK’s history, the team failed to reach the playoffs of the tournament this season. While MS Dhoni has consistently underperformed with the bat, he has also been criticised for his comments on the youngsters in the team.

Dhoni had recently said that he benched the younger players in the initial few games of IPL 2020 because he couldn’t see a spark in them. This comment, however, was followed by two back-to-back fifties from Ruturaj Gaikwad in winning efforts. The three-time champions currently sit at the bottom of the points table and will play their last match of the season on Sunday.
