Former South Africa leg-spinner Imran Tahir went on to reveal that former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni always makes it a point to send a special message to his son Gibran on his birthday and maintains a personal bond with his family. Tahir also heaped rich praise on the CSK skipper and termed him as a great human being.
With all the cricketing events come to a standstill, Imran was having a live YouTube chat with CSK chat show anchor Rupha Ramani. During the conversation, he said his son Gibran will relish the time he spent with MS after growing up.

Explaining his point further, Imran said, “We just try to play as hard as we can and win as many games as possible for CSK, enjoy each other’s success and that’s what makes Chennai such a special team. The day I put on the Chennai Super Kings cap was one of the special moments of my life. I never knew I was going to be around special people and (be part) of a special squad.”
Tahir, who won the purple cap in the 2019 season, said the family atmosphere in the team makes it special.
