The calmness of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is contagious, feels Chennai Super Kings' new hero Sam Billings, who was happy to have his skipper by his side during their successful chase in a high-scoring IPL encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders. Billings smashed 56 off 23 balls as CSK chased down a stiff target of 203 in their victorious homecoming. It was Billings' first chance to bat alongside Dhoni and their half-century partnership did go a long way in clinching a win for the team. "It's about being composed and there's not a better person to have at the crease than Dhoni," Billings said at the post-match press conference.
