MS Dhoni played for the Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for the first time in nearly four years. Since Captain Cool had such a warm welcome from the home crowd, the stadium’s spectators were overjoyed to see him. especially when he batted and hit Mark Wood for back-to-back sixes. The England pacer was surprised at the support Dhoni received and later remarked that it was the loudest arena he had ever played in.
The 33-year-old also disclosed the strategy they used to fire MS Dhoni.
He explained that the goal was to never play defense, which is why he gave up 12 runs in just two deliveries. The bowler added that the second six Dhoni struck was spectacular since they had a great plan in place before bowling that specific delivery.
“I was speaking to KL. We were attempting to maintain our composure and figure out how to free him. I didn’t think I was attempting to be defensive. Actually, I was considering how to get him out by preventing him from scoring runs. Regrettably, I lost 12 runs as a result. But that second photograph in particular was superb. To force him to retrieve the ball if he wanted to take it, I bowled it exactly where KL and I opted to get a bouncer and get it wide. According to Wood, whom India Today cited, it was fairly amazing for him to hit it that far.
The din I played in front of was undoubtedly the loudest I have ever heard when he came out to bat and when he smacked those two balls. It was enlightening, but looking back, it was a wonderful experience,” he continued.
LSG lost against CSK by 12 runs.
The visiting team got off to a fantastic start with Kyle Mayers’ 53 runs off 22 deliveries, but they ultimately fell 12 runs short in the game. When he was dismissed, Nicholas Pooran caused mayhem in the middle overs, but CSK’s bowlers bowled excellently to win their first game of the IPL 2023, while LSG were unable to capitalize.
In the meantime, MS Dhoni was extremely dissatisfied with his bowlers’ excessive number of extras and informed him he could resign as captain if they didn’t improve.
