Indian Premier League 2025 mein sabki nazar ek hi player par tikki hui hai — MS Dhoni. CSK ke ye legendary finisher is season mein apne expected level par perform nahi kar paaye hain, aur unke retirement ko lekar kaafi discussions bhi ho rahe hain. Lekin Punjab Kings ke leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal ne kaha hai ki unhone ‘Mahi bhai’ ke liye ek khaas plan tayyar kar liya hai.
April 8 ko CSK aur PBKS ka match Chandigarh mein hoga, aur is high-voltage clash se pehle Chahal ne JioHotstar par apne thoughts share kiye.
“Mahi bhai ne mujhe hamesha stump ke peeche se bowl karte hue dekha hai. Unhe pata hai main kya sochta hoon, kaise bowl karta hoon. Shayad main unke dimaag ka 2–3% hi padh paata hoon. Lekin jab woh batting ke liye aate hain, humein samajh aata hai unka game plan kya hoga. Aur uske hisaab se hum planning karte hain.”
“Agar aapne unhe ek bhi easy ball de diya, toh woh seedha ball stadium ke bahar bhejenge.”
Form mein nahi hain Dhoni
Is IPL season mein MS Dhoni ne ab tak 4 innings mein sirf 76 runs banaye hain. Unki har innings team ke liye match-winner sabit nahi ho paayi. RCB ke khilaaf match mein unka no.9 par aana bhi kaafi criticize hua tha, especially jab run rate already kaafi high ho chuka tha.
Chahal bhi struggle kar rahe hain
Rs 18 crore mein PBKS ne Chahal ko kharida tha, lekin ab tak wo apni bowling se waise impact nahi daal paaye hain. Teen matches mein unke naam sirf ek wicket hai. Gujarat Titans ke against unhone 3 overs mein 34 runs diye, bina koi wicket liye. LSG ke khilaaf Nicholas Pooran ka wicket zaroor liya, lekin 4 overs mein 36 runs diye. Rajasthan Royals ke match mein unhone sirf 3 overs daale aur 32 runs diye, bina wicket ke.
CSK ke khilaaf Chahal ka record
Haan, CSK ke against Chahal ka record kaafi impressive hai. Unhone 17 matches mein 19 wickets liye hain, average 23.26 aur economy rate sirf 6.90. Yeh performance unhone mostly RCB ke liye khelte hue diya hai, wo bhi M. Chinnaswamy jaise batting-friendly stadium mein.
Ab dekhna yeh hai ki kya Chahal ka plan MS Dhoni par bhaari padta hai ya ‘Captain Cool’ ek aur baar sabko surprise karte hain.
