"You already have a lot of power" – Uncapped CSK star reveals MS Dhoni's advice to him after debut innings in IPL 2025 – Sportskeeda

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel has shared words of wisdom from skipper MS Dhoni while thanking the team management for backing him during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The 26-year-old said the franchise gave him the liberty to play freely, which brought the best out of him. The swashbuckling batter also revealed Dhoni’s message after he got out while playing a rash shot on his debut, following a quickfire 31 runs off 11 balls, comprising four sixes and one boundary.
Urvil Patel told the GC Podcast YouTube Channel:
Urvil Patel spoke about his first impression of MS Dhoni after joining CSK as a replacement for injured wicketkeeper Vansh Bedi in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. He said in the same video:
Urvil returned with scores of 31 (11), 0, and 37 (19) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Gujarat Titans (GT), respectively, in three matches for the Super Kings in IPL 2025.
Notably, the Gujarat batter holds the record for the fastest T20 ton by an Indian player, smashing a 28-ball century against Tripura in 2024. He will be looking to go from strength to strength with the bat next season.
