ms dhoni should have batted above ravichandran ashwin says shane watson csk vs rcb ipl 2025 ms dhoni batting position
Shane watson on ms dhoni batting position: Last Friday, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs. In this clash, when CSK needed to score fast, Ravichandran Ashwin was sent for batting. There has been a debate on social media about the batting order that MS Dhoni’s arrival for batting on the 9th order has caused Chennai’s defeat. But in the meantime, Australian veteran Shane Watson, who has played for both RCB and CSK, has given a big statement about Dhoni’s batting order.
Shane Watson believes that if Dhoni had come to batting first, Chennai’s winning percentage would have increased. He also questioned the strategy of captain Rituraj Gaikwad and said that he should not have sent ‘Thala’ to bat on such a lower order.
MS Dhoni made a big mistake
While discussing Jio Hotstar, Shane Watson said, “CSK fans actually come to see that Dhoni played an innings of 30 runs in 16 balls. I personally want to see him batting on the upper order. I believe that he should have come for batting before Ravichandran Ashwin. Looking at the situation, Dhoni, 15 balls and the same manner.”
CSK lost due to Dhoni?
Shane Watson also said that if Dhoni had come to batting above, the chances of winning the Chennai Super Kings would have increased. He said that the fours and sixes Dhoni hit and sixes would obviously like the audience. But if Dhoni had come to bat first, CSK could have gone to win. Dhoni hit 3 fours and 2 sixes during the innings of 30 runs in 16 balls.
