MS Dhoni once again showed the world at IPL 2023 why his captaincy is considered to be iron. Last season he had given up the captaincy and CSK was in bad shape. However, midway through the season he returned as captain but by then things had gone bad. Chennai Super Kings, who finished 9th that season, was again managed by Dhoni in IPL 2023 and the result is that the team reached the final for a record 10th time. One cannot stop praising Mahi. One of them, an Australian veteran, also openly praised Dhoni, but during this he said something other cricketers might not like.
Australia’s cricket great Matthew Hayden told an event hosted by the University of Technology Sydney that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a magician who can turn someone else’s trash into gold. CSK have reached the IPL final for a record 10th time under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The team’s bowling was weak at the start of the tournament, but Dhoni made the most of it. Even in batting, the way Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey were used, they are being praised everywhere. But the question arises over Hayden’s statement of whether he considers players like Rahane and Dubey trash. This can be a bit controversial.
MS Dhoni will not play next season!
We tell you that Dhoni has played with a knee injury for almost the entire tournament. But probably he still hasn’t decided on his retirement. After Qualifier 1, the last game of the season at Chepauk, he had said that he wanted to give himself eight to nine months to decide his future as a player. However, Matthew Hayden believes that Dhoni will not play in the upcoming IPL. After this, Hayden also spoke to PTI and said that MS is a magician. He takes someone else’s trash and turns it into gold. He is a very skilled and positive captain. There is a process to achieve each objective and he has shown it with the Indian team and now with CSK.
Franchise cricket is tomorrow!
Matthew Hayden also spoke about other players, saying that with the growing trend of T20 cricket around the world, it has become difficult for players to play all three formats. The time for players playing in all three formats is coming to an end. There is a lot of enthusiasm to play Test Cricket again and the World Test Championship is one example of this. Apart from this, there is a lot of T20 cricket going on. Players who have given up domestic contracts to play franchise cricket around the world cannot be blamed. It is certain that tomorrow if children want to play cricket, they will play only franchise cricket. He has seen how active many players from the weaker sections are, especially the West Indies cricketers. For example, would Nicholas Pooran want to play Test cricket? Before that Dwayne Bravo played Test cricket but later on he played franchise cricket all over the world.
