MS Dhoni batted at No. 9 without precedent for his T20 vocation yet his choice at last misfired as he was excused for a brilliant duck during the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Lords on Sunday. Dhoni plays expected the part as a finisher for CSK this season and he generally comes to bat with 1-2 overs to go in the matches. Against PBKS, he permitted both Mitchell Santner and Shardul Thakur to bat in front of him prior to turning out in the nineteenth over. Previous India spinner Harbhajan Singh was not dazzled by the choice and that’s what he said assuming Dhoni will bat at No. 9, CSK ought to add one more pacer in their positions all things being equal.
“MS Dhoni shouldn’t play if he has any desire to bat at the number 9 space. Remembering a quick bowler than him for the playing XI is better. He is the leader and has let down his group by not emerging to bat.”
“Shardul Thakur came in front of him. Thakur can never hit shots like Dhoni and I don’t have the foggiest idea about why Dhoni committed this error. Nothing occurs without his consent and I’m not prepared to acknowledge that this choice to downgrade him was taken by another person.”
“CSK needed fast runs and Dhoni has done that in the past games. It was stunning that he remained back in the significant challenge against Punjab Rulers. Regardless of whether CSK win today, I will in any case get down on Dhoni. Allow individuals to say anything. I will get out whatever is correct,” Harbhajan Singh said on Star Sports.
Coming to the match, Chennai Super Lords rode an inside and out show from Ravindra Jadeja to enroll a critical triumph over Punjab Rulers. They are third in the IPL 2024 focuses table thanks to this success.
“Everybody accepted the wicket was slow. Indeed, even low bob. Simply at the beginning, we got, we were considering pushing till 180-200. In the wake of losing wickets, thought 160-170 was a decent score. Don’t have any idea what he’s doing, however even in preseason, he was clicking 150kph (on Simarjeet). He didn’t get a lot of possibilities, yet all the same, it’s rarely past the point of no return. Were considering going with an influence hitter, however at that point, we figured the player would give 10-15 runs, yet he could give 2-3 wickets. A portion of the folks were battling with influenza. Weren’t even certain till the morning who was playing or not. To get the success, truly content with that,” Ruturaj said after the match.
