IPL 2024: POINTS TABLE | RESULTS
Talking on a Start Sports shows, Steyn shared that the craze for Dhoni knows no limitations and that the former India captain remains a huge star in South Africa.
“Not only has it (Dhoni fever) engulfed the IPL, that’s engulfed many in South Africa and myself, to be honest with you.I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I seem to be glued to the seat when the IPL is on. My girlfriend says that my TV is broken, it’s stuck on cricket right now (during the) IPL and watching MS the other night. That’s exactly what we want to do,” Steyn said ahead of the Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings match on Thursday.

Mumbai defeated Punjab by nine runs.
“You know, I’ve been on the receiving end of it before. I’ve watched it from a fan’s point of view, I loved it. I mean, I am in a much better mood because of what I’ve just seen. So, can we get more of MS Dhoni out in the middle? That would be great,” he added.
Dhoni relinquished CSK captaincy ahead of the ongoing season, handing it over to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
The former CSK captain’s bat continues to breathe fire and deal in boundaries alone. However, Dhoni continues to be troubled by a knee issue and continues to play through discomfort in what could be his last season in the IPL.
