IPL 2020: DEEPAK CHAHAR REVEALS MS DHONI'S 3-WORD RESPONSE ON HIS CSK ROLE; LEAVES PACER SPEECHLESS!
Home > News Shots > SportsFormer Indian captain MS Dhoni, is not just known for being captain 'Cool' but also known for the freedom that he gives to his players, especially the bowlers in his team.
As the IPL fever has begun, Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) pace spearhead Deepak Chahar recently recalled a moment where MS Dhoni had given him a 3-word response when he had asked the skipper about his role in death overs.
Chahar's question to Dhoni came up after the captain wouldn’t let him bowl in death overs even in RPS. “When I was playing for Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS), and even now at CSK, I was bowling at around 140 kph but still he (Dhoni) didn’t give me the ball in the death,” the CSK pacer told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube show 'Aakash Vaani'.
“I also asked Mahi bhai about this. He gave me a two-word answer and then I couldn’t say much. So I asked the bowling coach a couple of times, he also said I should be bowled in the death overs. Finally, I gathered some courage and asked Mahi bhai when he was sitting in a room. He said, ‘I groom players’ and that’s it. He didn’t say anything else,” Chahar said.
Dhoni, who understands the game well, knew the strength of the side and backs his players accordingly. During that time, he did not takes any kind of hasty decisions but to maintain his calm. It is due to these qualities that Dhoni is known to be the most calm and composed person on the cricket field.
CSK will begin their IPL match in the tournament against defending champions Mumbai Indians, in Abu Dhabi today.
