Oscar-winning Indian composer, AR Rahman has dedicated ‘Chale Chalo’ song from the movie Lagaan to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni as the song motivates players to play together. Rahman also dedicated the song ‘Mangta Hai Kya’ from the movie Rangeela to CSK’s deputy skipper, Suresh Raina.

Speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Live, Rahman was heard saying, “I would like to dedicate the song ‘Chale Chalo’ from the movie Lagaan to MS Dhoni, as it motivates people to play cricket together. And for Suresh Raina, I would like to dedicate the song ‘Mangta Hai Kya’, because whenever I went to Bangalore, they were listening to a lot of songs from Rangeela.”

Earlier in the day, former Indian opener, Gautam Gambhir said that Dhoni should bat at number four or five and not below that for his team.

During the show on Start Sports, Gambhir said, “MS Dhoni should be batting higher, that’s what matters because ultimately people should start leading from the front. We keep mentioning this thing that a leader needs to lead from the front. You can’t be leading, when you’re batting at No.7. Yes, there are issues in their bowling line up.”

Gautam further added that Dhoni has lost his aggressive batting as he used to be and it is better for him to bat up in the order and set his eyes.

Gambhir further added, “Plus, he is not the MS Dhoni, which he used to be probably four or five years back, where he could just come in and start taking on the bowlers from the word go. For me, I think he needs to bat at number four/ five. Nothing below that.”

CSK will take on Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
