Ishant Sharma, a seasoned bowler for India, refers to Dhoni as his “Big Brother,” and Axar Patel refers to him simply as “Mr. Cool.” Former Indian skipper is referred to as “Legend” by Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. And Dhoni has a “big fan” in Sarfaraz Khan.
DC In the video that DC released on their Twitter account, young players called him “legend,” “thalaiva,” and even “god.”
