MS Dhoni Reveals the Reason behind Chennai Super Kings' Stunning Show in IPL 2021 (1)

1. MS Dhoni Reveals the Reason behind Chennai Super Kings' Stunning Show in IPL 2021 After Chennai Super Kings registered a convincing victory by seven wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad, everyone was thinking about what has led to them at the top in the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league. When he was asked about what has changed between now and the IPL 2020, CSK captain MS Dhoni has said that it was because they have worked on the problems that led to their worst-ever IPL season last year. He further added that most importantly the "players have taken more responsibility this year" which has been helping them this season as well. "I think addressing the problem (on what's been different for CSK this year?)," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation. Notably, CSK had a rather forgettable season last year in the IPL in the UAE. They failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in the history of the cash-rich league. But this season they have returned to their usual form.

2. "Whenever you start the tournament, you may or may not face issues in playing XI. The earlier you settle the better. Another factor was 5-6 months we were out of cricket. Nothing was allowed. It's not that you could go on your own and practice. That also makes it difficult. Change of quarantine, was slightly longer. Lot of factors," he revealed. "Overall if I have to sum it up, the players have taken more responsibility this year. You will be facing adverse things but ultimately it boils down to how each individual rises to the occasion and gives the extra 10 percent for the team," he explained. Notably, CSK beat SRH convincingly on Wednesday. They chased down the 172-run target with ease in the penultimate over, with nine balls in hand as well. Openers Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad got off to a flying start with the bat stitching over 100 runs for the opening wicket as well. "The batting was superb. But that doesn't mean the bowling was not good. It was a surprisingly good wicket. Whenever we come to Delhi we never expect a wicket like this. It was coming on nicely, there was nothing for the spinners as well. Good thing was there was no dew. Last night we felt 170 was just below par if there's no dew. Brilliant opening partnership," concluded MS Dhoni. You can catch Match Prediction, IPL prediction, Live Cricket Score on Cricadium
