Mahendra Singh Dhoni has urged the curator of Chennai’s Chepock Ground to prepare a better pitch so that his batsmen can get confidence to play their shots like here because he wants his team to play Chennai Super Kings Nirbhik cricket.
Dhoni’s 26 -run innings in 11 balls played an important role in winning Chennai in a significant victory over Lucknow Super Giants. In this way, the five -time champion broke the series of four -match defeat, including three defeats on the home ground.
Dhoni, who won the first Player of the Match award in the last six years, said after the match on Tuesday, “One reason may be that Chennai’s wicket is slightly slow. When we have played outside the home ground, our batsmen have performed a little better. ”
He said, “Perhaps we need to play on wickets that are a little better. This will give the batsmen confident of playing their shots. We want to play fearlessly. ”
Dhoni admitted that his batsmen needed to play their role and responsibilities better.
He said, “It looks good to win. Unfortunately, we could not win the previous match but this victory has increased confidence. It was a tough match and is happy to win. Hopefully this will make the team’s rhythm. ‘
Dhoni said, “We were struggling in the first six overs while bowling in the last matches but returned to the middle overs. We could not get the desired start as a batting unit. Perhaps due to the wicket of Chennai. Hopefully we will perform better on better wickets. ‘
He said, “We needed more bowlers in the first six overs, which led to a lot of pressure on Ashwin to put two overs in the first six overs. This is the reason why we made changes in bowling. Batting unit also performed well but could be better. The batsmen will have to play their role and responsibility and better. ”
