MS Dhoni CSK: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the former captain of CSK and Team India. Dhoni left the captaincy of CSK before IPL 2024. After leaving the captaincy, Dhoni is seen in a different color. He has scored runs at a strike rate of more than 200. However, despite this record, he came to bat at number 9 against Punjab on Sunday 5 May. Now former Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan are unhappy.
If Dhoni also wants to do the same then he should not play.
Harbhajan Singh said that if Dhoni wants to bat at number 9 then he should not play. It would be better for the team to select a fast bowler in his place. He is a decision-maker and has disappointed his team by not coming out to bat. Before him, Shardul Thakur came to bat. Shardul can never hit shots like Dhoni. And I cannot understand why Dhoni made this mistake. Nothing happens without his approval. I am not ready to believe that someone else took the decision to make him bat at number nine.
Harbhajan Singh further said that CSK needed to score runs fast and Dhoni did the same in the last game. The surprising thing is that he was out of the important match against Punjab. Even though CSK won today, I will criticize Dhoni. No matter what people say, I will say only what is true.
MS Dhoni batting at number nine will not work for CSK.
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan also had the same opinion on this issue. Pathan said that MS Dhoni batting at number nine will not be useful for CSK. This is not good for the team. Dhoni should take the responsibility of batting on himself. He will have to bat 4 or 5 overs. He comes to bat in the last over or the last two overs and it will not work for CSK.
Pathan further said that CSK has reached the playoffs. The senior player who is in good form should bat first. He cannot repeat the same thing that he has done before. However, he failed to impress against Mumbai. But here, when the team needs you, you cannot send Shardul ahead of yourself. You may not see Dhoni batting at number 9. Sameer Rizvi also remained sitting on the mattress for 15 overs. He will have to find a solution. Someone will have to tell Dhoni, trust me brother. Bat at least four overs.
Dhoni has played nine innings this season with an average of 55 and a strike rate of 224.48. Dhoni has been out only twice so far this season.
