    “Playing him often reminded me of MS Dhoni's calm and composed demeanor” – Former IPL host on his role in new OTT show – Sportskeeda

    Actor and former Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-show host Samir Kochhar has compared his character in his OTT series ‘Moonwalk’ to Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni. According to Kochhar, his role in the web series reminds him of Dhoni‘s calm and composed demeanor.
    Moonwalk is a heist comedy streaming on JioCinema Premium. The first episode of the show was aired on December 20. In the series, Kochhar is played a character named Maddy Sharma, who is unpredictable and likes taking risks.
    Speaking about his role in the OTT show and why it reminds him of Dhoni, the actor told FilmiBeat in an interview:
    Describing the former Indian captain as his second favorite cricketer, the 44-year-old went on to further elaborate on how he connected with Dhoni’s personality while playing the character of Maddy. He said:
    Sharing his thoughts on Team India’s young cricketing talents, the former IPL anchor expressed his admiration for the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, praising their determination and perseverance.
    Ahead of IPL 2025 retentions, there was some suspense over whether Dhoni will feature in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. In good news for this fans, though, the 43-year-old will be seen in action, having been retained as an uncapped Indian player for ₹4 crore by Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
    The former franchise skipper was retained on the basis of IPL’s revised player rules as per which any Indian cricketer who hasn’t played international cricket for five years and does not have a central contract can be considered as uncapped.
