Powerful records against Chennai and Dhoni

Naren’s record against Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also excellent. In T20 cricket, Dhoni’s strike rate against Naren has been just 52.17 and average 16. The special thing is that Dhoni has put only one four in the IPL against Naren, that too on a free hit.
Naren told his bowling strategy
After the match, Naren shared the secret of his success, saying, “I always focus on my strength. The batsmen are good, but if you pay more attention to them, then I put pressure on myself. I try to mold myself quickly according to the circumstances of the pitch. It is my motive to read the situation in the powerplay and give a strong start to the team.”
