He'll make decision in best interest of team: CSK's Eric Simons on Dhoni

"But for me, two things stand out -- one, how good a middle-order batter he was, someone who could take the game deep and finish it. "And the second is his keeping against spinners. I haven't seen anyone else like him." Ashwin also highlighted Dhoni's hands-off approach that empowered bowlers. "He never set the field for me.
