MS Dhoni shares his thought about DRS

 

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni shared his thought on how to use Decision Review System (DRS) that might be useful for those who are struggling to use it well like the current Indian team as well.

Dhoni, who has been known for his sure shot call with DRS, did not take a review against Punjab Kings batsman Shahrukh Khan after he was hit on the pads by a Deepak Chahar on the very first ball he had faced. The umpire gave him not out and it seemed from the replays that Dhoni took a right decision.

“I thought that [lbw call] was high. So told him (Chahar) ‘no we are not reviewing’. I have always felt DRS are there to take the howlers away and not just to take a chance. You only take a chance if it’s the last over of the game or it’s someone very important,” said Dhoni after the match while he was explaining about his mindset regarding DRS.

Dhoni, however, praised the pacer Deepak Chahar for his brilliant show with the ball that saw the pacer take four early wickets to damage the Punjab’s batting order. The right-arm pacer then returned with figures of four wickets for 13 runs in four overs as well.

However, despite being a good death overs bowler, Chahar bowled his entire quota early without a break. And, Dhoni revealed the reason of it too.

“Chahar is somebody who has developed as a death overs bowler too. If I’m looking to attack and there is movement I try to bowl him out because he gets more out of the pitch. As a bowling unit we have more resources. I was looking to attack, so bowled his four overs and it helps in becoming fit because to bowl 4 successive overs you need to be fit,” added Dhoni.

Notably, Chennai Super Kings defeated Punjab Kings by 6 wickets.
