We all know CSK is the only team which haswon the IPL twice in the year 2010 and 2012 under the dynamic leadership of MS Dhoni. Though 4 captains from different countries form the part of the squad, but Brendon McCullum has made it clear who’s the leader at the camp.

“At CSK there is only one captain and that is MS Dhoni. He is the sole decision-maker when it comes to the on-field matters. There is not much team talk about that,” he told IPLT20.com.

“However, as experienced leaders, we are expected to do small things off the field like guiding the younger players and helping out the team-mates with things they need assistance with. On the field there are smaller things like we must not wait for the captain to wave his hands at us asking to step a bit closer or further. We should be able to figure those things out with our experience.”

Commenting on being compared to Dhoni on the basis of the similarities they posses, he said, “Well, there are many things that he and I don’t have in common too. But yes, he is a very nice guy, very humble and one of the best captains in the world. I am pleased to have this opportunity to play under his leadership since there are many things one can learn from the man.”

When asked to take on the responsibility of wicket-keeper in place of Dhoni, he said he was happy that Dhoni was looking over the role.

“Oh, no, I am happy to let him do the job behind the stumps. My body is not up to regular work behind the wickets now. I am glad to be in the same team as Dhoni, who is a brilliant wicketkeeper. I am the backup option if the team requires one.”
