MS Dhoni’s big statement

MS Dhoni, captain of CSK, issued a severe warning to his bowlers: We need to slightly improve our fast bowling. We need to bowl in accordance with the circumstances. The most important thing is to keep an eye on the bowlers in opposition. They will also have to bowl no extra wides or no no-balls, or they will have to play with a new captain. “I’ll be leaving after my second warning,” he declared.

Dhoni was additionally astounded by the pitch at the Mama Chidambaram Arena. “It was a great game with a lot of points scored. We were all imagining how the wicket would look. We questioned it. The game scored a lot. Dhoni said, “Overall, I think it was a perfect first game that happened, and it was a full house for the first game we’ve played here in five or six years.”

“I was expecting it to be much slower. It was a wicket where runs could be scored, but it got a little slower overall. We’ll have to wait and see how it goes in the next six home games, but we should be able to score here. Force batters to hit over the fielders, even if it’s flatter.
