Dhoni said- We believe in him and when you are new you are under pressure, but after playing in IPL for a few years there is a different kind of pressure. He had a very good domestic season, he is improving. He has got a lot of potential but he can improve further by not bowling those no-balls. Chennai has to play the next match against Rajasthan Royals on 12 April.
