Last night, Chennai Super Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 45 runs in the 12th match of the IPL 2021. Moeen Ali, the English All-rounder was crisp with his bowling as he took 3 wickets and choked Rajasthan Royals out.
Apart from the individual performances, Captain Cool, M. S. DHONI’s work behind the stumps as the mastermind of Jos Buttler’s crucial wicket is going all over the internet. ‘Dry ball will spin’ statement is over and even the former crickets are in awe with MSD’s impeccable decision making.
Former Indian Legend, Sunil Gavaskar had some nice things to say about Dhoni.
“The bowling changes he made (was brilliant). The moment the ball was changed after Jos Buttler hit that six and a dry ball came, he said it in Hindi to Jadeja that the next ball will turn and it did turn. Jos Buttler got out and then he gave the ball to Moeen Ali. A dry ball for a spinner… Again, brilliant captaincy from Dhoni,” Gavaskar said in the post-match show on Star Sports.
He continued, “Very impressed (with Dhoni’s captaincy)… In his 200th match as captain of CSK, he was spot on with just about everything. The bowling changes, the field placements. Jadeja took 4 catches but apart from that, look at the number of boundaries he saved and that is so important, to keep the right fielders in the right position and Dhoni had that.”
