Sunil Gavaskar Hails MS Dhoni's Captaincy In CSK v RR Match

IPL 2021 - Chennai Super Kings MS Dhoni’s 'dry ball will turn' prediction in the match against Rajasthan Royals which resulted in Ravindra Jadeja getting Jos Buttler's wicket in the next ball, impressed former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar..

MS Dhoni's experience in cricket helped him to predict correctly the timing of the turn on the pitch. But his opposite number in Rajasthan Royals (RR), also a fellow wicket-keeper, was shocked by the turn during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match here at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

“The bowling changes he made (was brilliant). The moment the ball was changed after Jos Buttler hit that six and a dry ball came, he said it in Hindi to Jadeja that the next ball will turn and it did turn. Jos Buttler got out and then he gave the ball to Moeen Ali. A dry ball for a spinner… Again, brilliant captaincy from Dhoni,” Gavaskar hails the CSK skipper in the post-match show on Star Sports.

Commentator and former India batsman Rohan Gavaskar tweeted during the innings, "When butler hit jadeja for a six and then ball was replaced, you could hear dhoni on the stump mic saying that the ball will turn because it's dry ... that's exactly what happened !! #ipl2021 #csk."
