Talking to JioCinema, Zaheer Khan and Robin Uthappa talked specifically about Dhoni.
MS Dhoni: Dhoni’s batting in the last overs in IPL and fans continuing to go crazy watching him bat. Dhoni will take the field in the last overs, which means the washout of the bowlers is certain. Dhoni, who came to bat in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on 19 April, once again did such explosive batting. Chennai was batting first and Dhoni came to bat in the 17th over of the innings.
Mahi (MS Dhoni) scored runs in this match at a strike rate of 311. He batted explosively and scored 28 runs in just 9 balls with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes. Dhoni hit a 101 meter long six in the rain of sixes. Zaheer Khan and Robin Uthappa were mesmerized after seeing Dhoni’s batting at the age of 42. Without wasting any time, both of them recited ballads in praise of Dhoni. At the age of 42, the noise on Dhoni’s 101 meter six went up to 95 decibels (Noise Meter).
Speaking to JioCinema, Zaheer Khan talked about Dhoni and how he is getting better and better with every innings. He said in the statement-
“The Roar is getting bigger and better and louder, and so is MS Dhoni’s presence on the field. He is getting better with every innings he plays and his impact alone is incredible to watch him get out. The way the pressure came on the bowlers after watching him bat cannot be forgotten.”
I think the only thing that is stopping him is his health: Uthappa
Robin Uthappa has also expressed his sentiments and emphasized on Dhoni’s unwavering passion. Uthappa said that only Dhoni’s fitness can stop his brilliant career. Uthappa said-
“Well, I think the only thing that is stopping him is his health. I think his fitness will be the only thing that stops him from playing further. He loves sports very much. Dhoni is very passionate about cricket and wants to play more cricket. But if there’s one thing that will stop him, it will be his own body. Talking about his six, his mind says – Oh, everyone is playing ramp shots. I can too.”
Talking about the match, Lucknow registered a spectacular victory by 8 wickets on the basis of the brilliant partnership of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock.
