IPL 2023: Robin Oothappa, former player of Chennai Super Kings, made interesting comments on Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
MS Dhoni and Robin Oothappa, who were members of the team that won India’s first ICC T20 World Cup, are good friends. These two have played together in IPL as well as Indian team. It is known that Oothappa, who played for Chennai Super Kings, announced his retirement from the game after the end of IPL last year.
In the upcoming season, Oothappa will take on the avatar of a commentator in IPL. There have already been hints that Oothappa will be a commentator in IPL-16, which is going to be broadcast by Jio Cinemas. Recently, in a discussion held at Jio Cinemas, he made disinterested comments on his skipper Dhoni.
Oothappa said… ‘Dhoni has sharp strategies. That’s why everyone calls him a successful captain. He is responsible for every decision that comes from him. Whether it is a win or a loss, Dhoni will take full responsibility.
If Dhoni’s decision makes any difference to the result, he will not be able to sleep. He spends his time thinking about it. If a successful captain thinks about his wrong decisions four to five times, Dhoni thinks at least 8 to 9 times. Oothappa said that he became a successful captain because he thinks like that.
There are reports that this is the last season for Dhoni, who is currently practicing in Chennai for the season that will start from March 31. In fact, last year, Dhoni thought to say goodbye to IPL, but the situation did not suit him. Last season, Chennai ended up at the bottom of the points table with poor performances.
In this background, Dhoni is determined to bounce back this time. It is known that Dhoni has already announced that he will play his last match in Chepauk (Chennai). Chennai will play their first match against Gujarat Giants in IPL-16.
