Prayed that if I come to IPL, I have to go to Chennai Super Kings: Muttiah Muralitharan
New Delhi, June 14: He was known as a smiling assassin during his playing days, but former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has revealed how he also did his little prayers and one such time was when he went into the auction for the Indian Premier League.
Speaking on Star Sports 1 Tamil show Mind Masters by MFORE, Muralitharan spoke about his initial days adapting and playing with Chennai Super Kings and under Dhoni's captaincy: "Captaincy is about respecting the captain, whoever it is. We have to go by his decision. I prayed that if I come to the IPL, I have to go to Chennai, as I thought there will be Chennai people in the team. So, at that time, there was a good rule, where local players had to be in the team.
