Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming explained why Dhoni was not dropped early in this IPL season. “We’re reducing his workload,” Fleming said.
“Dhoni batting longer is a risk for him, we saw him with a muscle injury earlier in the season and if he bats longer, we risk losing him to injury.” said Fleming.
“So we are trying to use it in a way that it can have an impact on the competition.” He said.
“So, just because he comes in at number nine, don’t underestimate his impact on the team. We know what He will give us. We’ll make the most of him, but we don’t want to lose him to injury.” He added.
“We have a good backup keeper. But it’s not MS Dhoni, we want to keep MS Dhoni on the field, even for the last two, three overs, we need that Dhoni. ” he added.
