Irfan Pathan just doesn't seem to get enough of captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Not very long ago, the pacer hailed MS Dhoni and said that Chennai Super Kings have a wonderful captain and now, he has hailed the team for looking after their fans.

So here's what happened. Team CSK, yesterday announced via an Instagram post that the practice session of the team was open to the fans. The post read, "Watch the lions in action even before the season starts. Practice sessions are now open to fans."

If you're in and around Chepauk, you can catch a glimpse of the Lions in action! #WhistlePodu 💛🦁

Cut to today, the team announced on Instagram that CSK won't be hitting the nets today. The post read, "Dear #WhistlePoduArmy, there will be no practice session today at Chepauk. However, there is one tomorrow 6.30 PM onwards. See you den."

Keeping the BattaLion informed! 💛

This post impressed Irfan Pathan who now plays for the SunRisers Hyderabad. He commented on the post and wrote, "Nice of you to look after your fans."

Irfan Pathan Comments on CSK's Post

While speaking to a section of the media about CSK, Irfan had said, "One cannot discount Chennai Super Kings ever. They have a wonderful captain (Mahendra Singh Dhoni) and they also assembled a very experienced squad (in the auction). Their fortunes will depend upon how fit and agile these experienced hands are, but other than that, I think they will do well."

We wonder if the southpaw is trying to impress MS Dhoni! Unfortunately, Irfan went unsold at the IPL 2018 auction and will not be seen in action.
