Dhoni: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is very cruel, first he beat up the bowlers and then went to Rishabh Pant and explained to him..

As soon as Mahendra Singh Dhoni took over the command of Chennai Super Kings, the results started changing. The team, which was facing defeat after defeat, registered its second win in the tournament by defeating Lucknow Super Giants. In the match, MS Dhoni played a brilliant innings of 26 runs in 11 balls. Dhoni stepped on the field in the 15th over and along with Shivam Dubey led the team to victory. The CSK captain performed brilliantly and hit four fours and a six in his innings.

Due to the poor start of Chennai Super Kings, questions were being raised on Dhoni's batting position and his strategy, but he silenced his critics. Due to the innings played against Lucknow, he was selected as the Player of the Match (POTM). 43-year-old Dhoni won this award for the first time since 2019 and became the oldest player in the history of the league to win this award.

Questions on Rishabh Pant's captaincy

While Dhoni's innings gave a chance to celebrate, questions were raised about Rishabh Pant's captaincy. Fans were angry on social media because LSG did not bowl a spinner after Dhoni came on the field. After the CSK captain came, Avesh Khan bowled three overs while Shardul was given the remaining two overs. Shardul conceded 56 runs in four overs while Avesh conceded 32 runs in 3.3 overs. In the last few years, Dhoni has done well against fast bowling but his game against spin has been weak. Captain Pant did not bowl Ravi Bishnoi even though he had taken two wickets. He had one over left and took two wickets for 18 runs in three overs.

Dhoni explained to Pant.

After the match, Dhoni was seen talking to Pant during the post-match handshake. Dhoni, who is always seen advising his teammates and the players of the opposing team, explained something to Pant about the match. The former Indian captain had his hand on Pant's shoulder and was saying something related to the match.
