“Whether the mind is…”: Adam Gilchrist on Dhoni’s captaincy post CSK’s loss to RCB

Legendary MS Dhoni’s leadership came under intense scrutiny following CSK’s narrow two-run defeat to RCB on Saturday in Bengaluru. The important moment in the match was MS Dhoni’s decision to hand the 19th over of the first innings to Khaleel Ahmed. Despite Khaleel having conceded 32 runs off his first two overs, Dhoni opted to give him another over in a crucial phase of the game. Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist expressed his concerns over the decision.
“Tactically, I don't know whether there was a huge amount that he could have done different. Maybe, Khaleel, going to him at the back end there was risky given he had gone for 32 off his first two overs. So, maybe he might have had another option there," Gilchrist said on Cricbuzz.
“MS is never animated; he never shows visible signs of being upset, but I just wonder whether the energy is still being generated internally for him, whether the mind is ticking as astutely as it always has, just as he is edging further and further and closer and closer to the end," he added.
Currently, CSK are sitting at the bottom of the points table with two wins in eleven games. They will next face KKR on Wednesday (May 7).
