IPL 2025 mein MS Dhoni ka batting order phir se discussion ka topic ban gaya hai, especially after CSK ki RCB ke khilaaf 50-run ki karari haar. Yeh match Chepauk Stadium mein hua, jahan CSK ne IPL history ki apni sabse badi home defeat jheli.
Halanki Dhoni ne ek zabardast unbeaten 30-run ki cameo kheli – sirf 16 balls mein, 3 fours aur 2 sixes ke saath – unka batting position no. 9 fans ke liye kaafi shocking raha. Yeh strategy ko lekar bahut se questions uth gaye.
“Main bade picture ko dekh raha hoon. Agar aap pichle season aur is season ko dekhein, toh Dhoni zyada brand ke roop mein team mein hain. Jab playing XI select hoti hai, extra batter nahi liya jata kyunki MS hai. MS ek bonus player hain. Unka role alag hai,” – Sanjay Manjrekar, Hindustan Times se baat karte hue.
“Isiliye mujhe lagta hai ki agar MS Dhoni khel rahe hain aur itna late bat kar rahe hain, toh unhe captain hona chahiye. Wicketkeeping toh wo badiya kar rahe hain, par unka real impact captaincy mein hota. Abhi toh unka use kam ho raha hai,” – Manjrekar ne aur joda.
Yaad rahe, IPL 2023 mein CSK ko title jeetane ke baad Dhoni ne captaincy se step down kar diya tha aur Ruturaj Gaikwad ko leadership de di. Lekin uske baad bhi Dhoni field pe key decision-maker bane rahe – chahe DRS ho ya on-field appeals mein guidance dena ho.
Ab sabki nazar hai agle match pe – CSK vs RR. Toss jeet ke CSK ne pehle bowling ka decision liya. RR ne Nitish Rana ke explosive 81-run innings ke dam pe 182/9 ka strong total banaya. Bowling mein CSK ke liye Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana aur Noor Ahmad ne 2-2 wickets liye.
Dekhna yeh hoga ki Dhoni agli baar kab aur kis position pe batting karne aate hain – fans toh chahte hain unhe upar dekhna!
