IPL 2023: He only steps in when he thinks that someone is new and is confused – Deepak Chahar on MS Dhoni’s captaincy

Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Deepak Chahar has revealed that MS Dhoni only steps in when he thinks that someone is new and is confused. Dhoni is regarded as one of the best leaders to have graced the game and has always played a key role in CSK’s success.

Chahar has now been playing under the tutelage of MS Dhoni for more than four years and knows how the veteran gets the best out of his players.

Dhoni is well known for his sangfroid captaincy and he will once again look to get the best out of his players in the ongoing season. The veteran has all the experience under his belt and he would look to tick the right boxes.

Deepak Chahar said on CSK’s official website, “With Mahi Bhai, it is different. First, he will see if the bowler is willing to take responsibility. If he is willing to take the responsibility, he will let you decide the field, and what you want to bowl,” Deepak Chahar explained.

“If he feels the bowler is confused then he will give the field, and when he gives the field, you will know what to bowl.

“In 2018, Mahi Bhai used to tell me to start from which end. Now he asks me from which end I want to bowl, as I know my bowling and I can be the better judge. He only steps in when he thinks that someone is new and is confused.”

Dhoni is well known for his shrewd captaincy as he is mostly spot-on with his bowling changes and field placements.

Being the pack leader of CSK’s pace bowling battery, Chahar revealed he tries to pass the information to his teammates.

“I just pass the information to the bowlers. So just remind them.. Sometimes in a pressure game, someone who is fielding may have a better idea (than the bowler), he is calmer, he can give you advice.

“So, I just go to them and try to give advice on what I see and what I know about the batsman.”

CSK bowlers have veered off the track as they have bowled a lot of extras and Dhoni has also issued an ultimatum to relinquish his captaincy duties if the bowlers continue bowling wides and no-balls.

CSK will next face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday.
