MS Dhoni has blamed the batsmen after the loss of four wickets after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Punjab kings MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. With the disadvantage, Dhoni -led CSK has now been removed from the playoff race.
Sam Curan’s 88 helped the hosts reach CSK to a competitor 190, despite taking a hat -trick despite the Yuzvendra Chahal of Punjab Kings. Curran (including 88, 9 fours and 4 sixes in 47 balls) got good support Devald Bravis CSK got a total fight on board as (including 32 26 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six).
“I think batting – yes, this was the first time we scored enough runs on the board. But was it an equal score? I feel a little younger,” Dhoni said after the match.
He said, “Yes, there is a little demand from the batsmen, but I think we can be a little more. I think we need to take our catch,” he said.
Dhoni praised Curan and Brevis, as he placed the 78-run fourth-width stand and changed the heat over PBKS bowling.
“The partnership between Brevis and Sam was excellent,” he said.
Who is that IPL player?
Yuzvendra Chahal, who was a wicket -long, was killed by MS Dhoni (11) for six, but the bowler caught him for a long time on second delivery.
On the fourth ball, Deepak Hooda (2) played a humble backward point, while on the fifth, Anshul Kamboj (0) was cleaned as an impact option.
Noor Ahmed (0) tried to hit one, but incorrectly terminated his shot, and Jensen came to complete the hat-trick for a long time, which was the second leg-spinner in the IPL.
Dhoni has mentioned that the overs of Tupa of Heart CSK is not able to play the entire quota.
He said, “We did not play the last four delivery, and in the second-to-open over, four batsmen were taken out. In close sports, those seven delivery mean a lot,” he said.
Dhoni had a special message for Sam Curan, and called him a fighter.
“He is a fighter. This is something we all know. Whenever he turns, he wants to contribute.
“Unfortunately, till now, whenever we tried to give him a chance, the wicket was slow, and he found it a bit difficult.
“But today’s wicket was best at home in this tournament. That is why I felt that we need another 15 runs. This is the speed in the middle order.”
Dhoni called Brevis a property that CSK could do banks in future.
“He is also a very good fielder; she has power, and he can kill good balls for boundaries. And he brings good energy. The way he is playing. She can be a property that can go further.”
