MS Dhoni’s Reaction: In the match played between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, Chennai won by 15 runs and made it to the finals. Batting first in the match, Chennai put 172 runs on the board for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Chasing the runs, the Gujarat team got all out for 157 runs in 20 overs. Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni looked very happy after winning the match. Apart from this, he also gave a big hint about the next season.
Dhoni said in the presentation after the match, “To say that this is just another final, IPL is too big for that. Earlier there used to be 8 teams, now there are 10. I would not say that this is just another final. It is hard work for two months. Everyone has contributed. Yes, the middle order hasn’t got enough chances. Gujarat is a good team and they have chased well, so the idea was to bring them there. But it was good to lose the toss.
The Chennai captain further said, “If Jadeja gets conditions that help him, he is difficult to hit. His bowling changed the game. His partnership with Moeen Ali should also not be forgotten. We try to create the atmosphere and find out what is the strength of a fast bowler. We try to give them confidence and tell them please try to explore your bowling. We try to motivate them as much as possible. The support staff is there, Bravo and Eric are there.”
Big hint about next season
Dhoni further said, “You see the wicket and keep setting the field accordingly. I can be a very troublesome captain, I keep shifting the fielders by 2-3 feet. I only request the fielders to keep an eye on me. , If the catch is missed, there will be no reaction (from my side), just keep an eye on me. Next to this, Dhoni said, “I don’t know – I have 8-9 months to decide. Why should I have a headache now? I will always be there for CSK, be it playing or sitting outside in some other form.”
