“He’s a master at creating combination,” Ravi Shastri heaps praise on MS Dhoni for turning it around for CSK in IPL 2023

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have made a terrific comeback in IPL 2023 after being down and out in the fifteenth edition of the tournament aka IPL 2022. The MS Dhoni-led team is seated in the second position in the points table in IPL 2023 with six wins in eleven games so far. While they finished in the ninth position in the previous edition.

A lot of credit for this turnaround goes to none other than MS Dhoni who has shown great captaincy skills to bring the best out of his players. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri also thinks the same as he has hailed Dhoni for his intelligent utilization of resources.

Shastri praised Dhoni and the CSK management for persisting with players despite a horror show in IPL 2022. The former India head coach said that Dhoni is a master at creating combinations and this is the reason he has been able to achieve desired results.

“He’s (Dhoni) a master at creating a combination,” Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo. “It’s intuitive. It’s understanding. Probably persisting with a guy who might not be good in 2022, but having the foresight to believe he’ll be very good in 2023, giving him that confidence in 2022 to go through the grind, thinking ahead, and he would’ve done that with a few players. I won’t be surprised. I’m not in the mix there, I won’t know but definitely he thinks in that fashion.”

The former India cricketer also predicted that CSK can go the distance considering how they are playing in IPL 2023.

“When you look at this side now who look almost certain to make it to the playoffs, and look extremely dangerous when it comes to the playoffs, two games in Chennai, it’s a team that can go the distance. Because it’s already settled. If there’s tinkering, it’ll be because of injury. Otherwise, they’ve got it right,” Shastri said.
