Sai Kishore acknowledged that the Chennai Super Kings helped shape him as a cricket player. According to the left-arm spinner, who is currently with Gujarat Titans, the two years spent with the Men in Yellow were more like a “internship” than anything else.
Despite mostly playing as a net bowler throughout his two years with CSK, Kishore was not given the opportunity to represent the team. His experiences with the franchise, however, appeared to be overwhelmingly favourable.
Indeed, CSK was a major influence in my development. The two years seemed like an internship! At the auction for the [Syed] Mushtaq Ali Trophy, CSK was the first team to select me. It was a very valuable two years. I gained a lot of knowledge. I used to be inquisitive about how to respond to various circumstances. The truth is, though, that learning happens only when you play. “Even if you have all these theories in your head, it only sticks when you experience it on the pitch,” Kishore said in an interview with JioHotstar.
Sai Kishore considers how Dhoni, Nehra, and Ashwin influenced him.
The astute cricketer discussed how players like MS Dhoni, Ashish Nehra, and Ravichandran Ashwin have all influenced him to become a better bowler and professional cricketer.
“MS Dhoni has had a significant impact on me; I can’t see beyond him. His team leadership style and his composed approach to various situations have greatly influenced how I view the game and conduct myself. Ashu [Nehra] pa, our coach, is another significant influence. His approach to managing the team is distinct; it’s uncommon for a coach to be that composed and in charge. Additionally, Ashu [Ashwin] bhai has had a significant influence on me. Thus, I would say that Ashu bhai and MS Dhoni are the two individuals who have had the biggest influence on my cricket,” Kishore continued.
This season, Kishore has been playing well for GT. As of now, he has taken 14 wickets in 11 games during his third stint with the team. On Sunday, May 11, the 2022 winners will play the Delhi Capitals in Delhi.
