In a fresh glimpse into life behind the scenes at CSK, former Australian cricketer Michael Hussey has revealed how MS Dhoni’s room became a social hub for players: complete with late-night chats, food, and even shisha sessions. According to Hussey, Dhoni maintained an open-door policy that helped break down team hierarchies and foster genuine camaraderie among teammates.
Hussey explained that the lounge-like setup in Dhoni’s room allowed younger players and veterans alike to gather casually. “Dhoni is just the most amazing guy, his room is available open 24 hours a day. So, anyone can go up there and just sit. He has got his lounge room, players just sit around, they start talking cricket, some of them like the ‘shisha’, you know, the flavoured tobacco stuff” he said, describing it as the team’s way of relaxing and socialising.
Beyond the social aspect, many believe that Dhoni’s off-field presence and relaxed approach help build mental comfort and trust within the squad, qualities especially important in high-pressure tournaments like the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Whether the shisha lounge stories spark controversy or simply intrigue, they underline a broader truth: for many players, the off-field friendships and shared downtime with Dhoni mattered as much as the match-winning sixes and strategic field placements. For CSK’s newer generation, this may well shape not just how they play, but how they view cricket, not just as a sport, but as a fraternity.
