Shane watson on ms dhoni batting position: Last Friday, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs. In this clash, when CSK needed to score fast, Ravichandran Ashwin was sent for batting. There has been a debate on social media about the batting order that MS Dhoni’s arrival for batting on the 9th order has caused Chennai’s defeat. But in the meantime, Australian veteran Shane Watson, who has played for both RCB and CSK, has given a big statement about Dhoni’s batting order.

Shane Watson believes that if Dhoni had come to batting first, Chennai’s winning percentage would have increased. He also questioned the strategy of captain Rituraj Gaikwad and said that he should not have sent ‘Thala’ to bat on such a lower order.

MS Dhoni made a big mistake

While discussing Jio Hotstar, Shane Watson said, “CSK fans actually come to see that Dhoni played an innings of 30 runs in 16 balls. I personally want to see him batting on the upper order. I believe that he should have come for batting before Ravichandran Ashwin. Looking at the situation, Dhoni, 15 balls and the same manner.”

CSK lost due to Dhoni?

Shane Watson also said that if Dhoni had come to batting above, the chances of winning the Chennai Super Kings would have increased. He said that the fours and sixes Dhoni hit and sixes would obviously like the audience. But if Dhoni had come to bat first, CSK could have gone to win. Dhoni hit 3 fours and 2 sixes during the innings of 30 runs in 16 balls.

Ms dhoni ipl news: India’s legendary cricketer MS Dhoni has appreciated the initiative of commentary in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

I did not listen much in regional language commentary- Dhoni

Dhoni said, “I have not heard much regional language commentary because when we watch live matches, the replays are limited and most of the commentary I hear in English or Hindi. This helps us to do better analysis of the game. Personally, I also like to listen to the commentators’ words, because most of them are former players. While I can play 17 matches in a season, they can play 17 matches in different tournaments and countries. His experience about circumstances and teams is very high. ”

Dhoni further said, “As a player, we know the strength and weaknesses of our team, but listening to the commentary gives you the attitude of an outsider. This brings new ideas. Like ‘Why don’t we try this approach?’ – Which can then be evaluated on the basis of intelligence and data to see whether it is compatible with the team’s strategy or not. ”

I would also like to listen to Haryanvi commentary- Dhoni

Dhoni said on Jisautstar’s ‘The MS Dhoni Experience’, “I have not heard a lot of regional commentary, but I know that Bihari (Bhojpuri) commentary is very energetic. It reminds me of the old -fashioned radio commentary, where the commentator was very much involved. I like it very interesting. Many people like to listen to their regional language – this is their mother -in -law, and they like this, and they are in their regional language. Want to experience the game. I would like to listen to Haryanvi commentary because it is quite unique. “

Let us know that Dhoni is playing his 18th season in the 2025 tournament and he has played 265 matches so far and has scored 5,243 runs with 24 half -centuries.
