"Not a big fan of math" - See what MS Dhoni has to say about CSK's play-off opportunity!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsCSK captain Dhoni talks about going to the playoffs.
New Captain
The 15th edition of the IPL has been going on in full swing in India since March 26. A few days before the start of the series, Dhoni, who was the captain of the Chennai Super Kings team, abruptly announced his resignation as captain. Following this, Ravindra Jadeja was selected as the new captain. In this context, for the first time ever, the Chennai team lost the first 4 matches of the IPL series. Despite winning a few matches after that, he was unable to sustain the win consistently. Jadeja's captaincy has been criticized for going down to the bottom of the table after winning only 2 of the 8 matches he has played so far.
Led by Dhoni
Following this, Ravindra Jadeja is stepping down as CSK captain and Dhoni is once again leading the Chennai Super Kings. It was also said that Jadeja has made this decision to focus more on his game. Since then, Chennai have won two of the three matches played under Dhoni. However, going to the play-offs of the Chennai team has been a difficult one. The success or failure of other teams can play a key role in this.
Did all this happen? ...
Chennai will have to win the upcoming matches against Mumbai, Gujarat and Rajasthan at a good run rate. At the same time the end of the tournament should be as follows. And the results of subsequent matches against other teams should be in Chennai's favor. But even if the outcome of one of them changes, Chennai will not be able to go to the play-offs.
Dhoni's viral comment
Dhoni said, "One (game) at a time is good enough. I am not a big fan of maths. Even in school, I wasn't good at maths. You write your own fortune. What is important is to always be at your best. No point thinking as to this team needs to beat some other team, run rate ... it just adds pressure. Just turn up for your game, plan well, execute your plans, look to win the game and enjoy the rest of the IPL matches. You don't want to take pressure. Two other franchises are playing and you are under pressure. Enjoy the IPL; it's good. If it happens, it happens."
