MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the sharpest minds in the game of cricket. He is rated among the best captains ever to have played the game, being the only skipper to have won every ICC trophy in white-ball cricket as well as leading the team to the number 1 ranking in Tests. Even after his international retirement, Dhoni continues to be a fan favourite and his tactical accumen are there for everyone to see with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) winning their record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title earlier this year with the wicketkeeper-batter at the helm of affairs.

Dhoni fans know that the legendary cricketer has a witty sense of humour and has a way with words and the same was on display during the launch event of his Tamil film 'Let's Get Married'. He opened up on his bond with CSK pacer Deepak Chahar and compared the speedster to a drug. He said that does not expect to see him mature during his lifetime.

"Deepak Chahar is like a drug, if he is not there, you would think, where is he - if he is around, you would think, why he is here - good part is that he is maturing but he takes time & that is the problem, in my lifetime, I won't see him matured (smiles)," Dhoni said.



Earlier, Dhoni was given a grand welcome at the Tamil Nadu capital when he arrived for the movie trailer which is his debut venture under  Dhoni Entertainment Pvt Ltd, a production house started by the stumper. On the cricketing front, Dhoni has promised to return for another season of the IPL but it remains to be seen whether his body is condition to take the exertion of yet another season of the T20 league after he had to undergo a surgery in Mumbai post IPL. Dhoni celebrated his 42nd birthday on July 7 (Friday).
