Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni, who made it to the final for the 10th time, gave a big reaction after the match. Know what he said.
During the post-match presentation, when Dhoni was asked whether CSK is winning the 5th title? To this, he said that ‘IPL is so big that it is just another final.
Earlier there used to be 8 top teams, now it is 10. I wouldn’t say it’s just another final. This is 2 months of hard work. Everyone has contributed.
Yes, the middle order hasn’t got enough chances. GT is a great team and they’ve got a great following, so thought I’d take them in. But it was good to lose the toss.
It is difficult for Jaddu to hit on such a pitch:-
Regarding the pitch of Chepauk, MS Dhoni said that ‘If Jaddu gets such conditions that help him. It is very difficult to kill him.
His bowling changed the game. His partnership with Moeen should not be forgotten. We try to create an 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.
I’m a very annoying captain
Regarding his role on the field, MS Dhoni said that ‘I can be a very troublesome captain, I keep fielders 2-3 feet back and forth.
My only request to the fielders is to keep an eye on me. If a catch is dropped, there will be no reaction (from me), just keep an eye on me.
What did Dhoni say about playing the next season?
On the question of playing the next season, MS Dhoni said that ‘I don’t know whether I will play or not, I have 8-9 months to decide.
So why take the headache of it. I will always be there for CSK, whether playing or being out.
