TIL Desk Sports/ Chennai Super Kings batsman Faf Du Plessis heaped praise on skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his ability to hit any bowler, saying such a trait can make life difficult for any rival captain.
Former Australia batsman Shane Watson played blistering 78 while Dhoni hit a quickfire, unbeaten 51 to guide Chennai to a 13-run victory over bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils in the IPL game in Pune on Monday night.
In the last two games against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Daredevils, Dhoni, with his power hitting, reminded his critics that he is not yet done.“He (Dhoni) is in really good form at the moment, so it’s extremely tough to bowl to him when he is in a form like that.
He has got such a big arch and if you want to bowl wide he can still hit you to the leg side,” Du Plessis said. “He has got a lot of options, so it makes life difficult for a bowler and a captain because he can hit any ball to wherever he wants to. That kind of form is obviously very important to us,” he added.
