Will Dhoni get farewell from victory?
Mahi’s fans would like to see him play again next year, but he has played the entire IPL with a bandage on his left knee, so it is difficult for him to play again next season, so for the fans of ‘Thala’ (big brother in Tamil) This is an opportunity to capture every moment of Dhoni’s last match. He has batted at number eight in most of the matches but has given confidence to inexperienced bowlers like Tushar Deshpande and young batsmen like Shivam Dubey. Dhoni’s charisma will never die, his captaincy will remain a part of the legends of Indian cricket.
Hardik is also close to creating history
Gujarat, on the other hand, has a captain in Hardik Pandya who believes that there is only one way to lead the team which he has learned from Dhoni. Batsmen win matches, but bowlers win tournaments and this has been proved by Titans. Mohammed Shami (28 wickets), Rashid Khan (27 wickets) and Mohit Sharma (24 wickets) have done their job well. At the same time, apart from Gill, Pandya has scored 325 runs in batting. Devon Conway (625 runs), Ruturaj Gaikwad (564 runs), Ajinkya Rahane have scored 299 runs in 13 matches for Chennai while Dubey has scored 386 runs. Dubey has hit 33 sixes in this IPL. Sri Lanka’s Pathirana took 17 wickets and Deshpande took 21 wickets in bowling.
