MS Dhoni was criticized by the fans last year for his defensive gameplay in batting. Dhoni is renowned for taking the game deep and winning it from there. But it backfired on most occasions and led to the downfall of the team. Besides he did not have a great season with the bat either.
A lot of talks surrounded over if this would be the last IPL for Dhoni as CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time under MS Dhoni. But CSK has persisted with him for the upcoming edition and this will be the perfect opportunity for him to establish to his critics that he has still got the game in him.
