New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings' future in the Indian Premier League may be uncertain after a two-year suspension but South Africa's Twenty20 captain Faf du Plessis feels five seasons under 'Captain Cool' Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the IPL transformed him as a cricketer.

"I always ask him (Dhoni), how is he so cool. I can say two things about Dhoni. I have been fortunate to have played under him and I have huge amount of respect for him. Secondly I know what he brings to the table. He is a calm captain and knows how to handle pressure situations. You can learn to be your own man," Du Plessis said as he spoke about the kind of influence that the Indian limited overs captain has had on him during his time at the Chennai Super KIngs.
