There was a lot of discussion in the cricket world about Dhoni batting at this number. However, the fans did not understand why Dhoni, who scored 110 runs in the ongoing IPL season at a strike rate of 225.48 in 49 balls, came to bat at this number in this match. So the former cricketers had even said that if Dhoni has to bat at this number then he should retire from IPL. So now Chennai Super Kings team head coach Stephen Fleming has broken his silence and given a big statement regarding this issue. Fleming says that this has been seen only because of his workload. It is noteworthy that against Punjab, Dhoni was bowled by Harshal Patel on the very first ball. Stephen Fleming gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni’s workload Let us tell you that in the pre-match conference held in Ahmedabad before Chennai’s match against Gujarat, Stephen Fleming said about Dhoni – We are managing his workload. It’s risky, and a delicate balance. At the beginning of the season we saw that he was taking risks while batting even due to a muscle strain. We could have lost him for the entire tournament. Fleming further said – We are just trying to manage how he can impact the match by just hitting sixes and fours. So far he has done this very well. This is the best for us in the competition.
Australia’s tour of Ireland hangs in the balance due to lack of money and venue
Ireland Cricket’s High Performance Director Richard Holsworth says that the series will not be shifted to England. Australia vs Ireland (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the ICC’s Future Tour Program (FTP), Australia’s senior men’s cricket team was scheduled to tour Ireland for three ODIs and a one-off T20 match in August-September this year. However, Australia’s tour of Ireland is stuck in limbo due to shortage of funds and lack of match venues. It is noteworthy that when last time Australia was on England tour for the ODI series, the only ODI match was played between Ireland and Australia in England. However, now before this big tour of Australia, Ireland can host a tri-series with Netherlands and Scotland. So, after winning the only test match against Afghanistan, they also have to play a test match with Zimbabwe, but due to lack of resources, the venues for these matches have not been finalized yet. Richard Holdsworth gave a big statement regarding this tour of Australia On the other hand, Cricket Ireland’s High Performance Director Richard Holsworth says that the series will not be shifted to England. “Broadly speaking, it’s a real challenge to distribute what we have in FTP,” Holsworth said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo. We have more matches proposed than the number of venues we have got. To be honest, after Covid the cost of organizing matches in Ireland has increased significantly. Hotel prices and the cost of temporary infrastructure at the stadium have varied greatly. Apart from this, on shifting the Australia tour to England, Holsworth said – England’s cricket schedule is very busy at that time. Obviously we are not going to consider playing a team like Australia on a small county ground in England. But we are thinking about all those options whether we can host Australia in the coming summer?

Tiwari, who completed 10,000 first class runs during the campaign, is continuously making big revelations one after the other after retirement. The right-handed batsman, who played 12 ODIs and three T20 matches for India, recently said that he wants to ask MS Dhoni why he dropped him from the Indian team. Now, the 38-year-old, who was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team that won their first Indian Premier League title in 2012, has said that he had a fight with then captain Gautam Gambhir at the time, due to which he was dropped from the team. . Due to this, he could not play for this franchise for long. From Anand Bazaar Patrika Manoj Tiwari Said that, “KKR became champion in 2012. At that time I had managed to hit the winning four. I got a chance to play for KKR for one more year. If I had not fought Gambhir in 2013, I probably would have played for two-three more years. This means that the amount I was to receive as per the contract would have increased. The bank balance would have been stronger, but I never thought about it.”
