The thrilling last-ball win by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL final against Gujarat Titans 'is a miracle' and only the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni could pull off such a show, said former BCCI president Narayanswami Srinivasan on Tuesday.
Srinivasan is the vice-chairman of India Cements Ltd, the principal sponsor of Chennai Super Kings.
Srinivasan spoke to CSK captain Dhoni on Tuesday morning and congratulated him and his team on the triumph.
"Fantastic captain. You have done a miracle. Only you can do it. We are proud of the boys and the team," Srinivasan told Dhoni.
He advised Dhoni to take rest following the IPL hectic schedule, and invited him to visit Chennai along with the team to celebrate their fifth IPL title.
"This season has been one where the fans have demonstrated how much they love M S Dhoni. So do we," Srinivasan, who was overwhelmed by the affection shown by CSK fans, said.
Srinivasan along with CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan, chairman R Srinivasan and members of India Cements Ltd offered prayers with the IPL trophy at the famous Lord Shri Venkateswara Temple in Chennai managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
