CHENNAI: MS Dhoni has given a lot to Super Kings of Chennai for the past 13 years. But the day he played his historic 200 IPL game, the once maverick dealt probably his worst performance.
But for a spell of five overs defending 125 when CSK He took three fast wickets from the Royals, not for once did Dhoni look in any form of control in a game where CSK had to win.
TABLE OF POINTS IPL 2020
It all started when he hit the first 10 overs with CSK in one spot. CSK fans can’t count the number of times their captain won games from those positions, but this is just a pale shadow of that old self. Gave two Indian leggies with no international experience Shreyas Gopal and Rahul Tewatia the respect that Shane warne he probably would have come at his best. Dhoni probably knew in his mind what he had to do, but it was evident that his game where he could produce sixes at ease had left him.

Add to that his rigidity in team selection, where he refused to play spinner Imran Tahir in a single game or kept playing a game completely out of shape. Kedar Jadhav game after game. Even while filming, he tried the spinners Piyush chawla Y Ravindra Jadeja so late they had no voice. Dhoni spoke about the “process” at the end of the match, but during the course of this IPL there have been indications that he is getting it wrong on that as well.
The pattern indicated that there will be changes in the next games with a view to 2021, but this festival season seems to be really dark for CSK fans. And make no mistake, your beloved Thala participated in this misery.
