MS Dhoni is in charge of CSK falling to RCB in an exciting game, saying “I should have…”
After the game, Dhoni honestly admitted that he should have converted to a few shots to relieve the pressure on CSK's shoulders.
MS Captain Dhoni fell down at Chennai Super Kings and surrendered 2 defeats against Royal Challenger Bangalore in a coveted thriller at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja are tasked with 15 runs from the final to the finish line. But Yash Dayal's scorching Yorker derailed. The attempt Dhoni tried to complete ended the pain as he was trapped in front of a tree stump, tossing all in a low-key manner.
Shivam Dube sucked the ball into the stands on the ball, taking the equation from three to six. Finally, Chennai stood on a border, two points away from snatching Royal Challenger Bangalore. But Dayal is “the death of the expert”, and he throws out all the precise tossing and winning with steel like steel.
After the game, Dhoni honestly admitted that he should have converted to a few shots to relieve the pressure on CSK's shoulders.
“When I got into the bat, with this delivery and the required running, I felt like I should switch a few more shots to relieve the stress,” Dhoni said after the race.
After the bubble performances of Virat Kohli (62) and Jacob Bethell (55) ended, the Royal Challengers slowed down in the first inning. With the remaining two distances of 159/5, RCB Threadbare unleashed a bunch of boundaries and gained an unbeaten 53 from 14 delivery, the second fastest in cash-rich league history, boosting the master to 213/5.
Dhoni reflects the brutal attacks of the “glorious” shepherds and feels that if they execute more Yorkers, the chances of hitting the border rope will be greatly reduced.
“They got a good start, and in between, we pulled it back, but the Romanio Shepherd was great. He got the biggest run regardless of the pitcher. We need to practice more Yorkers. When the hitter starts connecting, you have to rely on the hitter, you have to rely on York.”
“Also, the edge of the wrong (provided by the Yorker), so if you're looking for a perfect Yorker, if that doesn't happen, then the low all tossing is the next best thing. It's one of the hardest to hits. A guy like Pathirana, if it doesn't happen Yorker, then he'll do the pace he can hit the Bouncer and keep the batsman's guess,” he added.
An important factor in Bangalore's narrow escape was the execution of York in death. Chennai was unable to deliver the low toss and York length to the border, leaving them hanging. Dhoni stressed the need to inject paddle shooting and other changes in the new era to get rid of this situation.
“Sometimes, if he's looking for someone in York, the batsman is trying to line it up, and if he misses, the batsman can hit it. It can be used, but not all batsman play comfortably (spoon). If it comes naturally. Sure will. If not. His power,” Doni said.
Despite the lack of shortcomings at the end, Doni praised 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre, who kept CSK alive with his 94 (48) bubble and believed that they were all good as a group batting unit.
He concluded: “He's doing very well. Hitting is a region where we're slightly behind. But today, as a department, I feel that hitting is doing very well.”
