IPL 2020 | If we hadn’t played without balls, we would have chased 200, insists MS Dhoni


MS Dhoni has blamed non-balls as the main reason for the 16-run loss to the Rajasthan Royals, which he believes could have restricted the Royals to 200. The Chennai Super Kings captain also added that he lacked hitting practice. for a long time. which was the reason behind him hitting lower.

In what was one of the big kills from a lower-order hitter’s batting displays, Jofra Archer hit four straight sixes against Lungi Ngidi, who didn’t try a single yorker throughout the finale. With two of them without balls, Chennai found herself in a rabbit hole that was difficult to get out of. Dhoni feels those non-balls could have been controlled to restrict the Royals to 200 to give CSK a chance to win.

“217 on the board, you got off to a really good start. That wasn’t the case. They hit really well. Steve and Sanju. You have to give their players credit too. There was a lot of dew. They knew how far to bowling. Their spinners didn’t try too many things. That was a mistake our spinners made in their first couple of overs. Without pointing out anyone, one controllable we could have controlled is no-ball. If we hadn’t thrown no-balls, we would have been chasing 200, and it would have been a very good match, ”Dhoni told Star Sports in the post-match interview.

Faf du Plessis, however, only brought the team to touching distance, from where it could have been anyone’s game, but Dhoni, by missing the first hit, ensured that the team didn’t take advantage of that. Despite the ball being kept low, Dhoni continuously aimed at the back of the touchdown, which he admitted was a mistake. When asked about his own batting promotion, Dhoni stated that he lacked practice and that he was quarantined for 14 days, compared to six days, was a major factor.

I haven’t batted in a long time. The 14-day quarantine doesn’t help (why not beat higher).

“I haven’t hit in a long time. The 14-day quarantine doesn’t help (why not beat higher). He also wanted to try different things, give Sam opportunities. Get a chance to try different things. If it doesn’t work, you can always go back to your strengths. Faf adapted very well. Something that batters will do, neglect the square leg and go more to the length and length ”, concluded the CSK captain.
