MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) didn’t get off to a stellar begin of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season as they suffered from a horror defeat in opposition to te Gujarat Giants by 5 wickets on Friday (March 31). Following CSK’s loss in opposition to the Hardik Pandya-led defending champions, former India cricketer and MSD’s teammate Virender Sehwag questioned CSK skipper’s decision-making within the contest. Sehwag expressed how he was extra stunned than upset by the calls MS Dhoni took through the conflict in opposition to Gujarat Titans.
“Had Dhoni used an over from Moeen Ali somewhere in the middle, he may not have needed to go to Tushar Deshpande, who was highly expensive. You don’t expect MS Dhoni making such mistakes often, but that’s where you could use the risk-and-reward approach of using an off-spinner when right-handers are batting,” stated Sehwag throughout a dialog with Cricbuzz.
