IPL 2024: “The whole world wants to see Dhoni bat not for the last two overs but for five overs”- Suresh Raina

During this, Raina expressed his opinion on many issues. During a show on Jio Cinema, Suresh Raina was asked, what can we expect from MS Dhoni this season? On this Suresh Raina said: The best thing is that he is looking fit. He looks in good form and is batting well. But, I would like to see him bat higher in the order. The whole world wants to see him bat not for the last two overs but for five overs. When he comes to the crease, it will take some time for him to settle down and after that you will see his helicopter shot sixes. He has undergone an operation, he will not be captaining, so it will be a big IPL for him. He will be hoping that CSK can maintain the mentality of a champion. This will happen when Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey and Daryl Mitchell set the tone. So, they have to tick a lot of boxes. Suresh Raina gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s batting After this, Raina was asked whether Kohli would open the innings against CSK, on which Suresh Raina said, I think he will open the innings with Faf du Plessis. Below him there are batsmen who can hit the ball well. On wickets like this, we will see him scoring a lot of singles. His form will be very important for the T20 World Cup because the wickets in West Indies are slow. After this, Mr. IPL was also asked whether RCB can defeat CSK in Chennai, on this Suresh Raina said, I think RCB has the team to defeat CSK. Apart from this, whichever team plays against CSK will say that now Ruturaj and not Dhoni is the captain, so there is a psychological factor also. The feeling of Chennai’s heat is different, but Dhoni’s wave is different. So, a lot will depend on Ruturaj’s body language.

Rituraj Gaikwad would be a good option – Suresh Raina While talking on GeoCinema about the future captain of Chennai Super Kings, Suresh Raina said, ‘The biggest question is who will be their next captain? Even if Dhoni steps down as captain, he will still be there in the dugout as a mental toughness coach or just for his presence. But who does MS Dhoni have his eyes on? I think Ruturaj Gaikwad will be a good choice. I would like to see him play for five years or at least 2-3 years- Suresh Raina Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) had left the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022.

Suresh Raina says that Dhoni should play IPL for at least five more years.

He is 42 years old now, I would like to see him play for five years or at least 2-3 years.
