Dhoni's CSK and World Cup strategy, Bhaji spills secret

Dhoni has been in form ever since the start of this year.  He was man of the tournament in India’s series against Australia earlier this year and was at his best form despite injury for CSK in IPL.

During the match against South Africa, veteran Indian off-spinner and Dhoni’s CSK teammate, Harbhajan Singh revealed that MS Dhoni batted close to two hours on a regular basis at the nets during the training session in the IPL.

He also said that Dhoni was focused at getting his rhythm right for the World Cup and hence, faced as many balls in the nets as possible.

“Dhoni believed that during the IPL he should face as many balls as possible in order to be in rhythm for the World Cup. He was not entirely sure about the net bowlers or the practice sessions he would get in the World Cup and hence, wanted to cash in during the IPL in the nets,” Harbhajan said during commentary.
