Bowling coach gave Dhoni’s fitness update
After Dhoni stayed away from practice, questions arose whether he would play in the match against KKR or not. The statement of CSK bowling coach Eric Simmons has come out on this. He said that Dhoni is perfectly fine and he is expected to play. Simmons said, “Yes, MS is expected to play. Dhoni understands his situation well. He knows when he has to prepare and when to rest. He works hard before the tournament and then goes according to his body. There is no problem in this.”
Dhoni has always affected the ground
In this season, Dhoni has again taken over the captaincy. After Rituraj was out of Gaikwad, the team’s command came to Dhoni. Coach Simmons said that this change happened easily. He said, “People only see Dhoni as a cricketer, but we know him as a special person. He always has an impact on the team. Whether he is a captain or not, his influence is clearly visible on the youth and players like Rituraj. He never puts pressure on anyone, but his decisions are always seen on the field.”
The team of Chennai Super Kings has been out of the playoff race this time. At the same time, this match is very important for Kolkata Knight Riders because he now needs to win every match to reach the playoffs.
