MS Dhoni Is Very Instinctive Captain: Mitchell Santner

While speaking to TheIndianexpress, Kiwi player Mitchell Santner spoke about the two captains. The left-arm spinner said that Dhoni and Williamson are two of the calmest guys on the field.

He will give you pretty good views from behind the stumps. It’s quite awesome to be involved with CSK for the last four years and to play under one of the greatest captains and players of our time. On the other hand, Kane is someone who does a lot of planning beforehand. He is very relaxed and calm. It helps you as a player when you are under the pump”, Mitchell Santner said.
