MS Dhoni, who plays for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is 41 years old, but he hits the ball longer and farther than most players in the IPL 2023. Dhoni hit 20 runs off 9 balls quickly against the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday night. He now has the second-best strike rate in IPL 2023, at 204.25, and has already hit 10 sixes.
Not only that, but Dhoni has also helped the four-time former champions, CSK, recover from a bad IPL 2022 season in which they ended near the bottom of the table. They are now the favorites, along with the defending champion Gujarat Titans, to make it to the IPL 2023 Playoffs. With 15 points from 11 games, CSK is currently in second place on the points table.
Jio Cinema’s expert and former England spinner thinks that MS Dhoni is the “best captain” in the IPL 2023 right now and is “too big” to quit just yet. “Every time he bats, he hits sixes, and he is also great with the gloves behind the wickets.” Aside from that, he is the best leader in the IPL 2023. “The way he moved up to the stumps while Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was being bowled by Deepak Chahar and planned his dismissal, it was just too good to force an all-time great to hit a bad shot,” Graeme Swann said in response to a question from Zee News English.
Swann thinks that saying Dhoni will quit after the IPL 2023 season is too soon. “It’s only normal that when a cricketer gets close to the end of his or her career, people start to wonder when he or she will quit.” He can do whatever he wants to keep playing, as far as I’m concerned. Since he is too big to leave now, I don’t think this will be his last year. “He needs to be rolled out, and maybe then he’ll start hitting sixes, too,” Swann said.
Swann had 255 wickets in 60 Tests at the end of his career. He also took 104 wickets in ODIs and 51 wickets in T20Is. Ravichandran Ashwin, the off-spinner for the Rajasthan Royals, was so good that the former England off-spinner was in awe of him. The all-rounder for Tamil Nadu and Team India has taken 14 wickets for RR in the IPL 2023. He is second only to Yuzvendra Chahal, who has 17 wickets.
“Aswhin is a great bowler who is at the top of his game right now.” He almost never throws the same ball twice. He loves being the most important player in every game. Swann said of Ashwin, “He loves to be in situations where there is a lot of pressure.”
When asked about Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spinner Sunil Narine’s poor performance this season, Swann said that he’s just having “confidence issues” and that the West Indies all-rounder shouldn’t be “written off.”
“I just think he doesn’t believe in himself when he bowls.” When a bad ball gets caught, you get that little bit of luck, and everything feels right again. I’m not giving up on him. I’m still going to choose him for my team. “When (Varun) Chakravarthy and (Suyash) Sharma bowl so well, they can hide (Narine) a little bit,” Swann said.
In match 56 of the IPL 2023, the Kolkata Knight Riders will play against the Rajasthan Royals on Thursday night.
