“Fast bowling we need to slightly improve. Need to bowl according to the conditions. What is important is to keep an eye as to what the opposition bowlers are doing. One more thing is they’ll have to bowl no no-balls or extra wides. Or they’ll have to play under a new captain. It will be my second warning and then I’ll be off. Only reason we’ve scored those runs is if the surface is nice,” said Dhoni after the game.
It was a happy a happy return for MS Dhoni at Chepauk, but LSG came close to chase down 218 runs in a high scoring game. The CSK pacers went on to produced extra runs and which promoted a slow over rate. Dhoni was seen pleading his bowlers to ball well. But, Dhoni lost his cool after the game where he said, after a final warning, he will leave captaincy, if conditions don’t improve.
