Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar praised talisman Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his ability to get the best out of his players, while recalling an ageing Chennai Super Kings' remarkable triumph after returning to IPL from a two-year ban. The upcoming edition of the IPL starts on March 31 with CSK taking on defending champions Gujarat Titans.

Speaking on Star Sports Network, Gavaskar recalled the highlights of the illustrious IPL career of 'Captain Cool' and how he has brought out the best in his teammates. "I think when CSK returned and won the IPL trophy, it was absolutely amazing because the team had not been together for two years and they had moved out with different franchises and suddenly they come back again. That tells you about leadership," he said.
