At CSK, there’s only one captain and it’s Dhoni, says Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum

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.”

Profile

A right-handed batsman and right arm off-break bowler, Glenn Maxwell plays for Victoria in Australia's domestic cricket. He represents Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League.

Maxwell's aggressive batting style at any position from an opener to the No.7 slot, handy off-spin bowling & delightful fielding puts him into a mould of a perfect all-rounder. He is also great at judging slower balls and most commonly uses his ‘swivel slog sweep’ to send the ball deep into the stands. The all-rounder shot to fame in 2011 when he scored a record 19-ball half century to lead Victoria to an unlikely victory against Tasmania. But it was his knock of 110 off 52 balls with nine fours and eight sixes for Australian Institute of Sports in the Emerging Player tournament that caught the eyes of Delhi selectors, who signed him for the fifth IPL edition in 2012.

Later that year, Maxwell went on to make his international debut for Australia in a one-off ODI against Afghanistan at Sharjah. In 2013, the Aussie was a surprise pick in the Indian T20 League player auction by Mumbai, who bought him at a whopping million dollars, making him the league's newest million dollar baby. However, he warmed the bench for most parts of the season and played a few games at the end of the tournament. Maxwell did not make it to the same franchise the very next year when he was sold to Mohali.
