It’s Really Special – Kate Cross
In an old interview, Cross expressed her love for CSK and MS Dhoni, highlighting the special connection with the team and the impact on her cricket career.
“I get so much feedback when I’m talking about the Chennai Super Kings. Honestly, the following from that team has even crossed over into my career because there are so many people who are following my cricket because of Chennai, it’s really special,” Cross told News18.
“I think everyone is an MS Dhoni fan who supports CSK. I don’t know if I know anyone who doesn’t like him as a person or as a cricketer. I’ve just always looked at the way he has led his team. He looks really calm and collective. I’ve been a captain myself and I know how stressful those situations could be to be able to show that even if you are not feeling it is quite a skill,” she added.
