Talking about MS Dhoni on the show 'Dhoni Vazhi Thani Vazhi' on Star Sports 1 Tamil, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said, "Only one thing I knew that he’s able to get the best out of the team by himself. He’s able to get the best out of any member of the team. That’s why we’d call him Thala. In 10 years from now, my feeling is that he’ll be a permanent fixture in Chennai as the Chennai Super Kings boss."
