Indian limited-over skipper, MS Dhoni on Sunday was spotted during the final of the 2015 Star Sports Pro-Kabaddi League. He was also spotted speaking to the official brodcaster, Star Sports and presented his views on the final, which is being held between Patna Pirates and Telugu Titans. He also took his call on how the final could go and who culd be the potential winner of the 2015 league. With the defending champions, Jaipur Panthers already being knocked out, the league is sure to have a new champion. Dhoni is not a part of the ongoing India-Sri Lanka Test series as he announced his retirement from the format following the tour of Australia last year and earlier this year.

Dhoni made a mark in the 50-over format with a whirlwind 148 against Pakistan, and came to the forefront with an amazing 183 not out in a chase against Sri Lanka. His reputation as a champion of seemingly impossible run-chases has not diminished since then. With an average well over 50 and a strike-rate close to 90, Dhoni is an undisputed champion of the format. In the classical form, Dhoni’s greatest claim to fame is certainly the brutal 224 against Australia at Chepauk in 2012-13.
