During Covid-19 lockdown, India fast bowler Deepak Chahar was in constant touch with his Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and took his advice to remain fit. Chahar says he is grateful to have a legend like Dhoni by his side. In an exclusive interview Chahar said, 'I have been in touch with Mahi bhai during this period. Some days back he had made a phone call and said “body mei aa gai tere energy level? Baar baar injured kyun ho jata hai (have you got your energy levels back? Why do you get injured so often?). His phone calls really motivated me. It feels great when a legend like him calls and gives advice. I am happy to have a legend like Mahi bhai by my side. Mahi bhai gives me proper advice. He has suggested a few exercises to keep myself fit. He has asked me to take proper rest. He always says one thing - ‘unfit nahi hona hai tune’ (you can't be unfit). I have played a lot of cricket under him (MS Dhoni). I have been playing for CSK for four years now. CSK is like a family and Mahi bhai handles it really well. I know he hasn’t played for India for the past one year. But watching him again on the cricket field will be so exciting. I am also eager to play under him. I am really looking forward to the IPL, as nothing was happening in Indian cricket. I am so excited that the tournament is set to begin. I am confident that Mahi bhai will take CSK to the title win this time. I always want to play in a yellow jersey and want my captain to be Mahi bhai. He is an amazing leader. He gives us advice ahead of a match and after the match. Once I asked him, Mahi bhai, kya karu? (What do I do)? He instantly said ‘woh tera kaam hai’ (That’s your job). But he came up to me and advised me. He is a person who will inject confidence in you. He will make you remember what your strengths are.'
