In the opening match of IPL 2024, Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore had to face a crushing defeat. Chennai started the tournament with a 6-wicket win over Bengaluru. Difficulties have started increasing for RCB with this match. The Bengaluru team could neither show its strength in batting nor perform anything special in bowling. From Rachin Ravindra to Shivam Dubey, all the players of Chennai have performed brilliantly. But let us tell you that Bengaluru was defeated by RCB, not by Rachin and Shivam, but by MS Dhoni's tactics.
Which move of Thala cost RCB dearly?
Before IPL 2024, a big change was seen in Chennai Super Kings. CSK changed its captain at the last moment. Chennai's experienced batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped down from the captaincy, after which Ruturaj Gaikwad was appointed as the new captain. Due to which RCB heaved a sigh of relief. Bengaluru felt that now Ruturaj Gaikwad will be seen as the captain, in such a situation they will get freedom from Dhoni's strategy. But Dhoni gave a big blow to RCB in the middle field. Dhoni was not the captain in the first match between Bengaluru and Chennai, but still when CSK was fielding, Dhoni was seen guiding all the players.
CSK played master stroke
Mahendra Singh Dhoni changed the whole game from behind the wicket. Which player should be sent where for fielding or who should be guided, all this was done not by Ruturaj Gaikwad but by MS Dhoni. Commentators Aakash Chopra and Virender Sehwag also started discussing this. The commentator laughingly said that it seems that Dhoni will not just come to toss, but will be seen captaining the rest of the field. Now the discussion about this has gained momentum among social media fans also. Fans are saying that Ruturaj Gaikwad is the captain only in name, in reality Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to be the captain. This move of Mahi Bhai proved costly for RCB. Dhoni changed the game with his mastermind.
