IPL 2024: Dhoni is the strongest in lifting heavy weight: Kumble

During a conversation on the Legends Lounge show on JioCinema, Kumble said, ‘I IPL I never played with MS. When I played with him in the Indian team, he was the first one to pick me up. I think he was the strongest at lifting heavy weights. This was a wonderful moment for me. I remember, when I was the coach and he was the captain, we were in Ranchi for an optional practice session for a one-day game, he did not need to come, because Ranchi is his home town, but he was there for the session. ‘ He further said, ‘I told MS Dhoni what are you doing? We still have a few days before the next match. He said, ‘No, I just want to be around the team.’ He is the same as Sachin was. When I was with Mumbai Indians, Sachin had played cricket for about 25 or 26 years, but even for optional sessions, he was the first one to board the bus. I don’t think these two guys can catch a break. I would not be surprised if MS continues to play for CSK, because this is his optional session. He is very emotional, he wants to be there.
