IPL 2023: Eoin Morgan predicts, 'Dhoni can take this big decision in the playoffs'

 

In the 17th match of IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings by 3 runs to get another win. Chasing 176 runs given by Rajasthan, Chennai Super Kings showed fighting spirit but captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not hit a big shot on the last ball of the last over, due to which his team was left behind by 3 runs.

However, in this match, Dhoni once again entertained the fans with his batting. Dhoni, batting at number eight, remained unbeaten till the end and played a blistering inning of 32 runs in 17 balls, which included 1 four and 3 sixes, but his innings proved to be insufficient for CSK's victory, after which fans and cricket experts They are raising voices that Dhoni should come up the order so that he has more balls to finish the match.

At the same time, after the end of this match, former England and Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan has made a big prediction. Morgan believes that Dhoni can promote himself up the batting order in the IPL playoffs. Speaking on Geo Cinema, Morgan said, "Their batting lineup is probably as strong as it looks at the moment. I know he likes to bat down the order, otherwise, we have seen him (so far) himself." Promoted him. I don't envision him being promoted up the order at this point in time. Potentially, in the playoffs, under different circumstances, he might send himself up. But I don't see that happening right now He is the best judge of himself and if he doesn't feel like it."

At the same time, Morgan also gave his opinion on KKR's star all-rounder Andre Russell not bowling this season and said, "I really don't see that happening. Russell is a huge player for KKR. He scored runs last year. He was their leading wicket-taker. The most impressive thing in KKR is that they are not relying too much on him or Narine at the moment and we should not forget that they are missing their captain as well. "
