Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is always in the headlines. Whether they score runs in IPL or not. On Saturday, his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost by 25 runs against Delhi Capitals on their home ground Chepock. The team and its millions of fans expected Dhoni to win in this match. But this could not be possible and he returned unbeaten after scoring 30 runs off 26 balls.
At the same time, once again former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwari has targeted Dhoni’s performance and CSK’s defeat. He said that Dhoni should have retired after winning IPL 2023 while leading CSK. According to him, Dhoni is losing respect as he is unable to win the team by chasing the target.
Questions raised on Dhoni’s batting
Let us tell you that Dhoni has been an important player in the Chennai Super Kings team for many years. However, his magic is not visible this year. This is the reason that his team is also struggling this season. Dhoni has scored 76 runs in four matches so far, but fans and experts have questioned his batting.
2023 was the right time for Dhoni to retire- Tiwari
In the match against Delhi Capitals, when CSK needed 110 runs in 9.2 overs, Dhoni came to bat at his favorite batting place number 7. Talking about this on ‘Cricbuge’, Tiwari said, ‘I think the right time for him to retire was 2023, when he won the IPL Trophy.’ They should have retired at the same time. I think whatever name, fame and respect he has earned from cricket, he is losing all because the way he is playing in the last two years.
The former player also questioned the comment of Chennai head coach Stephen Fleming that Dhoni cannot bat more than 10 overs. Tiwari said that these decisions are not being taken in the interest of the franchise.
