IPL 2024: ‘Dhoni’s presence will increase Gaikwad’s problems’ – MSD fans will be enraged by Wasim Jaffer’s statement regarding change in CSK captaincy.

(Image Source: CSK/X) Indian Premier League 2024: Former Indian cricketer and commentator Wasim Jaffer has criticized MS Dhoni for leaving the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before IPL 2024 and handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad.MS Dhoni) has raised questions on the timing of the decision. MS Dhoni surprised everyone and announced his resignation from the captaincy just a day before the first match of IPL 2024 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Actually, Ruturaj Gaikwad was seen in the captains’ photoshoot for IPL 2024 on March 21, only after which everyone came to know about Dhoni’s decision. The timing of MS Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right: Wasim Jaffer Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer believes that the timing of Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right. The former batsman said that if Dhoni was not part of the team, the move would have been more appropriate. He also expressed concern that Dhoni’s presence in CSK could potentially create challenges for new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. “No, I don’t think it was the right time for MS Dhoni to resign as captain,” Wasim Jaffer was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. I think it would have made more sense if MS Dhoni was not part of the team. If he had retired and was not in the team, this timing could have been right. If that had happened, things would have become much easier for the new captain.” “If Dhoni was not there, then…” Wasim Jaffer further said, “Since he is still a part of the team, things are going to become difficult for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a decision or not, and whether Dhoni agrees with that decision or not. What, will he like those decisions? And you are on your own, and we all know that Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been the next captain of CSK. But I think if Dhoni was not there, all this would have been much easier.”

IPL 2024: “Virat Kohli will have to be out in the powerplay, otherwise…”- Matthew Hayden gives big warning to CSK
Virat Kohli has an average of 30 and a strike rate of 111 at the Chepauk Stadium. Virat Kohli & Mathew Hayden (Photo Source: The first match of IPL 2024 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22 at Chepauk. When both the teams clashed with each other last season, Chennai Super Kings had won by 8 runs. Both the teams would like to show their brilliant game in the opening match of the season. Before the match between CSK and RCB, former Australian legend Matthew Hayden says that Virat Kohli can prove to be dangerous for Chennai Super Kings. Due to which CSK will have to show the way to the pavilion to Virat Kohli during the powerplay itself. Virat Kohli can be the most dangerous – Matthew Hayden Before the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, former Australian player Matthew Hayden talked about Virat Kohli’s performance at Chepauk Stadium. Hayden says that it is difficult to bat in Chepauk, but if Virat gets set then it can be dangerous for CSK. Matthew Hayden while talking on Star Sports show Game Plan said, ‘One thing is for sure, this is a blockbuster showdown. Virat Kohli’s average at Chepauk Stadium is 30 and strike rate is 111. Virat’s greatness has also diminished on this field. It is a difficult pitch to bat on, especially as an opening batsman. It has a strange bounce like a tennis ball, it is quite slow and it is difficult to play shots in the beginning, but the longer you bat, the game opens up and this is where Virat can be most dangerous. Matthew Hayden further said that, if Virat Kohli is ready to bat the entire 20 overs then he can win the match. Therefore, CSK will have to get him out in the powerplay itself. Matthew Hayden further said, ‘If he is ready to bat the full 20 overs, he can give a match-winning performance. ‘200 is very easy at Chinnaswamy but not so at Chepauk Stadium. Sometimes scores of 150, 130 are enough, when you get good players like Jadeja, who bowls stump to stump, turns the ball and the ball stays low, it is really difficult, so he has to play powerplay. Virat Kohli will have to be out inside.
