In Sunday’s IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings, MS Dhoni batted at No. 9 for the first time in his T20 career, but his move ultimately backfired as he was out for a golden duck. With one or two overs remaining in the game, Dhoni typically enters to bat for CSK as a finisher, having taken on this role this season. He let Mitchell Santner and Shardul Thakur bat ahead of him against PBKS before being removed in the 19th over. When Dhoni bats at No. 9, CSK should add another pacer to their lineup, according to former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who expressed dissatisfaction with the selection.
“In order to bat at number nine, MS Dhoni should not play. He should be replaced in the playing XI with a faster bowler. He has let his squad down by not taking the batting first because he makes the decisions.”
He was surpassed by Shardul Thakur. In my opinion, Dhoni made a mistake that Thakur can never replicate, and I don’t know why. I’m not ready to accept that someone else made the decision to demote him because nothing happens without his approval.”
“Dhoni has provided CSK with the rapid runs they needed in the past games. The fact that he stayed back in the crucial match against Punjab Kings was stunning. I’ll call out Dhoni even if CSK wins today. Let everyone express themselves. Harbhajan Singh stated on Star Sports, “I’ll speak up for what’s right.”
Arriving at the game, Ravindra Jadeja gave an outstanding performance all around to help Chennai Super Kings defeat Punjab Kings. Thanks to this victory, they are currently ranked third in the IPL 2024 points standings.
It was thought by all that the wicket was slow. a low bounce as well. We only thought about pushing until 180–200 based on the start we had. Sent 160–170 a respectable score after losing wickets. Not sure what he’s doing, but he was hitting 150 mph (on Simarjeet) even during the preseason. It’s never too late, even though he didn’t have many opportunities. The impact hitter was our first choice, but we changed our minds after realizing that he might take 2-3 wickets in addition to scoring 10–15 runs. The sickness was bothering a few of the boys. We had no idea who would be playing until the next morning. Ruturaj expressed her happiness at winning the match after it had concluded.
