Guwahati: Chennai Super Kings (Chennai Super Kings) MS is facing a difficult situation about Dhoni’s batting position. After a lot of criticism for batting at number 9 against Royal Challengers Bangalore last week, Dhoni came to bat against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at number 7.
His team needed 54 balls from 25 balls at that time, but Dhoni could not take this team on line. When he left after scoring 16 runs of 11 balls (1×4, 1×6)-Simmron Hetmier took a great catch in deep mid-width-CSK still required the last five legal delivery from Sandeep Sharma. They failed to move away and lost by six runs.

CSK head coach Stephen Fleming said, “It is said to explain Dhoni’s flickering appearance with the bat and his changing batting positions,” it’s a time. It is MS that judges it. He does not do his body, his knees.
“If the game is in balance, he will go a little earlier and he supports other players when the opportunity grows. So he is balanced it. I said last year, he is very valuable for us for leadership and wicketkeeping. To throw him in 9, 10 overs … he never does so.
Analyzing its second direct loss in this season after an early win against Mumbai Indians, Fleming said, “This is probably two powerplays. Our powerplay with the ball went for the best part of 80 runs and we were only able to manage in the early 40s or 40s. This is a big difference.
“We were also dirty in the field compared to Rajasthan, which were outstanding. A new three -year cycle (after a mega IPL auction) is always a bit difficult, especially if you are a little less.”
