Out of favour pacer Sreesanth has denied reports of him hating on former Indian Captain MS Dhoni or his IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) while playing during the IPL before he was banned in 2013 for a fixing scandal.
“Nothing like enemy here but I want to get any opposition captain out but there are many people who aspire that I should play for CSK”, said Sreesanth in an exclusive chat with Helo app.
“I don’t hate Dhoni or CSK, but I go with color. CSK jersey resembles the Australian team, that’s all,” he added.
When asked about his famous ground beating celebration against Australia after scalping Mathew Hayden’s wicket, he credited WWE for his aggressive celebration.
“The aggressiveness is all an inspiration from WWE, nothing else, even Shoaib Akhtar used to do such wild celebration”, he stated.
On Wednesday, #DhoniRetires was trending on Twitter leading to speculations that Dhoni had retired from international cricket which were proved hoax by his wife Sakshi Dhoni. Sreesanth said he believed that Dhoni is the Don of cricket.
“As far as i know, he is very fit and even Sanju Samson has all the ability to represent India but for me Dhoni is don, inko pkadana muskil hi nah na mumkin hai. He would love to play for the country, he has got that in his blood, he is only 37. Even Sachin and others have played till 40” said Sreesanth.
