Talking earlier than the beginning of the CSK-RR sport on the Wankhede Stadium on Friday, Matthew Hayden admitted that it could be an “emotional resolution” for the franchise to make (naming CSK skipper) given what MS Dhoni has delivered as a captain and the love and assist garnered by the Chennai followers over time.
Matthew Hayden Reckons MS Dhoni Ideally Shouldn’t Proceed As His Contribution Is Questionable
Matthew Hayden additional primarily based his opinion by evaluating MS Dhoni’s numbers with that of Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson. He feels regardless of what Sanju Samson has delivered as a batter, which is greater than MS Dhoni, his contributions have been questioned.
“It's a actually robust one. It is dependent upon what the franchise expects. In order for you a captain who has scored 200 runs this season at a strike fee of 128, then no downside. He has nonetheless obtained energy within the palms, he nonetheless has these reflexes behind the stumps, he has nonetheless obtained that nice working between the wickets.”
“He's additionally probably the most skilled captain in the whole IPL and has obtained these titles behind his identify and that crew behind him as effectively. However as they sit to rebuild and re-structure, how a lot of that's going to be MSD’s contribution,” he mentioned.
“Should you have a look at his precise contribution then I'd say there is no such thing as a likelihood of taking part in on. Take a look at Samson, he has scored over 300 runs at a median of 30 and that's nonetheless questioned if it's a large enough contribution as a frontrunner. So these are the issues that will likely be measured and it is going to be a really emotional resolution. Take heed to the gang and the way they reply to him. And that is essential and that's the reason I fail to purchase into this dialog,” mentioned Matthew Hayden.
Regardless of MS Dhoni venturing down as skipper towards the start of IPL 2022, he was taken a gander at because the focal determine at CSK. 8 matches into the season, Ravindra Jadeja, who was given over management 2 days earlier than the competitors, ventured down from the job, giving again the captaincy to MS Dhoni.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who was a part of the identical dialog, nonetheless, contradicted Matthew Hayden’s phrases and felt that MS Dhoni ought to relatively proceed together with his function subsequent 12 months.
“With the legend that MS Dhoni is, you simply need him to go on and on. You can not get sufficient of him, that's the factor. When Sachin retired, it was such a tragic event, as a result of instantly we have been pondering ‘Whats up! From tomorrow we aren't going to see him play!’ So a equally I believe for MSD we expect we all know he is perhaps taking part in a couple of extra matches subsequent 12 months and that's the reason all of us need him to hold on,” he mentioned.
It's price mentioning that Ravindra Jadeja relinquished the captaincy after simply eight matches. MS Dhoni is again because the chief and has confirmed that he'll participate in subsequent 12 months’s cash-rich league. MS Dhoni, who had led the CSK since 2008, had given Ravindra Jadeja the management function forward of the continued season.
CSK started the season with 5 losses in 5 video games earlier than registering two wins on the trot. Sadly, they misplaced their eighth sport as effectively which meant their playoff hopes have been just about over solely to see MS Dhoni again as skipper. After a disappointing IPL 2020 (200 runs) and IPL 2021 (114 runs) with the bat, MS Dhoni scored 232 runs in IPL 2022 averaging 33.14 in 14 video games with 1 fifty in addition to his identify.
