Former Australian batsman and current Chennai Super Kings player Michael Hussey has said that he would love to have captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s equanimity at the end of the innings. After a season with Mumbai Indians, the 39-year-old is now back with Chennai, the team with which he had immense success in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years.

"I would like his power (laughs). I would love to have his equanimity at the end of the innings. Dhoni is just fantastic to bat with at the end of the innings because he is so cool and he has got it all planned out," Hussey was quoted as saying by IPLT20.com.

"While I sometimes get nervous thinking, 'Oh we're falling behind the rate', he is very positive all the time saying, 'No need to worry, we are right on target' - very assured and very confident throughout," he said.

I have a lot of great friends and so many incredible memories here: Hussey

The former Mumbai Indians batsman said he hasn't had a specific chat with the CSK management yet but whatever role is set for him, he is happy to accept it and mentioned that he has a lot of great friends and incredible memories with the team.

"It is amazing to be back here. I have a lot of great friends here and so many incredible memories," Hussey said.

"I haven't had a specific chat with the management about that yet but whatever role they set for me, I am happy to play it. I know it will be in accordance with my own skills and in which I can serve the team the best," he added.

Speaking on the captain-coach pair of Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni, he said.

"They both have very astute cricketing brains and they think very clearly under pressure. As far as their relationship goes, it is very good for them and the team because it is very open and honest. They communicate very clearly with each other and the players."
