"It was a great learning experience from Dhoni. I not only shared the dressing room but his room as well -- as anyone could walk into his room which remained open 24 hours.
"He takes utmost care of the juniors, doesn't hesitate to join us on dinner table. It helps the juniors so that they don't develop a complex. I will look to play with him again," Chahar said after their match against Punjab at Eden Gardens.
He's aware of his superlative show in the tournament and said: "It will definitely help. Franchises keep a close watch on the Mushtaq Ali as it's the same format.
"Obviously you will put in that extra effort knowing that it's a day before the auction," Chahar who claimed seven wickets from five matches in the inter-state zonal round added.
Chahar returned with figures of 2/9 before he limped off the field with a niggle.
