Chennai Super Kings led by MS Dhoni won the match by 45 runs against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium on Monday night. However, Dhoni, who came to bat in 7th position in this match, played slow innings. He scored 18 off 17 balls and become a topic of discussion for many people. He struggled to pick up the rhythm despite hitting two boundaries. After the match, Dhoni spoke about his batting style.
The Chennai Super Kings skipper said it is hard to keep up with younger players in the squad but it will be a big positive for the 39-year-old if they are not able to point fingers at him over his fitness.
“When you are playing, you don’t really want anyone to say he’s unfit. I have to keep up with the younger guys. They are very fast, it’s good to challenge them,” he said.
“Performances are something that’s guaranteed. I wasn’t guaranteeing performances when I was 24. I can’t guarantee when I am 40, but at least if people can’t point a finger at me that he’s unfit then that will be a big positive for me,” he added.
