Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has given the main reason behind veteran wicketkeeper-batsman and former captain MS Dhoni not batting in the upper order in the IPL 2024 season. This season, with long hair, Mahi has shown her old look to the fans. Mahi is batting in such a stormy manner in the last over that everyone is surprised to see him.
Let us tell you, Mahi had played a stormy inning of 28 runs with the help of 3 fours and 2 skyscraper sixes in 9 balls against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Stadium. On the basis of this innings, CSK was successful in reaching the score of 176. However, CSK could not defend this score and the team had to face defeat by 8 wickets.
Stephen Fleming gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni’s batting order.
Regarding MS’s batting order LSG vs CSK After the match, Stephen Fleming said in the press conference, “MS Dhoni had a knee problem and he is still recovering from it. For this reason, he plays only a few balls, so that he can bat in the best possible manner. When the time comes, he will be made to bat longer but for now we want him to come for 2-3 overs and play such impactful innings.”
Fleming believes that, Dhoni is doing a fantastic job as a finisher and instead of asking him to bat up top, other batsmen should take more responsibility of creating the platform for him. CSK coach said that, “It is up to the rest of the batting unit to put us in a good position where they can take us to the top.
He is doing it every time at the moment, which is great to see and what an amazing thing. We are so proud of him when he goes out to the crease and entertain and we are amazed by the love he gets.”
