Ahead of the IPL 2019 summit clash between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, former CSK player Matthew Hayden praised MS Dhoni and said that the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman is “not just a player, he is an era of cricket.”

Speaking on a Star Sports programme ‘The Super Kings Show’, the former Aussie cricketer said, “You know Dhoni, he is not just a player, he is an era of cricket. In many ways I think MS is like the captain of the gully cricket team, he is one of us, he will do anything.”

Speaking on the temperament of ‘Captain Cool’, Hayden said, “You see how he warms up, he bowls his leg spinners, he catches, he asks players and people around the squad on how they are doing and he is so relaxed, I think we can all relate to him because we all have busy lives working around with friends and families and that’s a big commitment.”
