IPL 2019: Let Andre Russell Score Four Or A Six But Not Single – MS Dhoni To Deepak Chahar

Perhaps, you may find only a few cricketers, who would be street-smart like Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The flamboyant skipper always thinks out of the box to get the opponent with his mastery. In one of those, Deepak Chahar revealed MS Dhoni’s advice for him in the final over of his spell against Kolkata Knight Riders.

So far, Chennai Super Kings had a stellar run in the Indian Premer league 2019. They thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders with ease to seal those two crucial points and sit at top of the points table. Deepak Chahar and spinners are the stars for MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings.

The bowling effort of Deepak Chahar and the spinners in the starting overs is the turning point of the match. With the top-order of Kolkata being knocked out for cheap scores, KKR never got that flow in their innings to sit on the driver seat.

MS Dhoni Bhai’s little inputs are crucial – Deepak Chahar

Revealing a conversation between him and MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar quoted that the skipper asked him to concede either a boundary or a six in the final ball of his spell in 19th over. So that, Andre Russell will be away from the strike in 20th over of the game.

“It is about what is required at that specific time. Just before the last ball of my spell, he walked over to me and told me not to allow a single. A six or a four was fine, he said, but not a single because that would get Russell back on strike. We needed their No 11 to be on strike for the final over.”

Further, he quoted that MS Dhoni will not suggest often for the bowlers. But, whenever he suggests, even small things do matter, as he will be pretty much on point.

“We speak a lot, mostly off the field, but the thing with Mahi bhai is that he won’t say a lot, but rather whatever little inputs he gives will be crucial,” said Chahar.

On his consistency and plan against KKR:

Speaking of his brilliant spell against KKR, Deepak Chahar quoted that he has been practising a lot in the recent past for the tournament. Further, Deepak revealed that he wants to have a stump-to-stump approach.

“The planning for every match remains the same – to give as little width to the batsmen, especially on this slow Chennai surface,” he told iplt20.com. “The pitch was slow and I was looking to bowl straight. The batsman wouldn’t have been sure of what shots to play on this wicket, hence the stump-to-stump approach.”

However, it was a brilliant show from Deepak Chahar on the other night against Kolkata Knight Riders. In fact, he has been pretty consistent for Chennai Super Kings since his recruitment for the team.
