IPL 2024: ‘He is doing this even today’ Brian Lara on MS Dhoni’s stormy innings against LSG

Dhoni scored 28 runs in 9 balls in a stormy manner against LSG. MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter X) The 34th match of the ongoing IPL season took place yesterday on 19th April between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings. Let us tell you that in this match played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, the magic of former Indian captain MS Dhoni was seen. In the match, Dhoni came out to bat in the last overs of CSK’s innings. After this, Dhoni batted in a stormy style and played a brilliant inning of 28* runs in 9 balls. Dhoni had hit 3 fours and 2 sixes during his innings. On the other hand, now a big statement of former West Indies cricket team cricketer Brian Lara has come out on this amazing innings of Dhoni. Lara says that even after turning 42, he is still doing this. Brian Lara admires MS Dhoni’s batting Let us tell you that regarding Dhoni’s amazing batting against Lucknow Super Giants, Brian Lara said on Star Sports Cricket Live – He (Dhoni) batted very brilliantly. But the question to ask him is, would you like to bat higher? We can see that he is making important contribution in batting. But there are some other reasons for the team’s defeat. He is now 42 years old, and is still doing so. Maybe he is thinking from the team’s perspective. Lara further said- I think CSK will have to go to their drawing room and think again about the planning. He needs to be a little more aggressive during his batting. Because Dhoni is the last player to come into your batting. He gets only two or three overs to bat, but he batted brilliantly against Mumbai Indians, scoring runs at a strike rate of 200. The team needs to think about this.

“Stop dreaming of the World Cup…” KL Rahul will not be included in Team India, why did the veteran player give this statement?

Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are among the top contenders for the T20 World Cup. KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) From youth to senior players, everyone is trying their best in the ongoing IPL for the T20 World Cup 2024. Be that as it may, the World Cup is a tournament that every player wants to play. Team India has not yet announced the squad for the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, all eyes are on the performance of the players to see who will get a chance in the team. Most of all there is a stampede in the team regarding the wicketkeeper. Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant are contenders for this place for Team India. Rishabh Pant has made a comeback to cricket during IPL 2024 after a long gap, and Sanju Samson has emerged as a top contender, raising doubts over KL Rahul’s selection chances. Meanwhile, Adam Gilchrist has recently dismissed speculations about Rahul’s inclusion in the World Cup squad. The former Australian cricketer advised KL Rahul to divert his attention from the current debates and focus on helping Lucknow Supergiants win the trophy in the IPL. He further emphasized that Rahul is a brilliant cricketer and hence there is no need to think, he will get a place in this marquee ICC event. Adam Gilchrist gave statement regarding the selection of KL Rahul “Talk about World Cup selection cannot stop during the tournament. But there is no need to think about who is going to the World Cup and who is not, what else has to be done to make a place in the team. Rahul will have to work out like every other player in this tournament. If you are in the eyes of the selection committee, you will be sitting on the plane for the World Cup.” Before the start of IPL 2024, there was speculation that Rahul could be seen playing in the middle order to further cement his place in the World Cup squad. However, he continued to open for Lucknow this season. Similarly, Samson is also batting in the top order for Rajasthan Royals, further reducing Rahul’s chances. Now it remains to be seen with which player Team India will move ahead.
