IPL 2023 Victory: The IPL 2023 champion Chennai Super Kings’ bowler Tushar Deshpande and batter Shivam Dube have disclosed what captain MS Dhoni said in the locker room. Notably, the rain-shortened final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 30 at midnight saw Dhoni and company defeat the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans.
Dube, who scored an undefeated 32 runs in the championship game, said that Dhoni helped him think clearly and provided him advice on how to speed up his running. The 29-year-old continued by saying that Dhoni had instructed him to make an effort to complete the task at hand, even if he was allowed to go early.
“Mahi bhai helped me think clearly. He explained to me my position. It was straightforward because the team’s run rate was terrible. (You must speed up the run rate). Even if I leave early, it won’t be an issue, but attempt to finish the assignment. The instructions were explicit,” according to Dube, who spoke with The Indian Express.
The players wanted the assurance, which Dhoni provided: Mr. Tushar Deshpande
Deshpande also talked about how the CSK skipper stood by him despite the fact that he let up 56 runs during the summit match. He said that Dhoni informed him that a score of 200 or above is now considered to be average under the new Impact Player criterion. Notably, the Mumbai spinner concluded the IPL 2023 season as CSK’s leading wicket-taker with 21 takes.
“When I didn’t bowl well, he came and informed me that, under the new impact rule, scores of 200 or more were the new standard and to not worry about my position. Young players demand a guarantee, and he provided it,” according to Deshpande.
Deshpande quoted the former India captain’s advice to the CSK players, saying that while their efforts had paid off, they should reflect on what they did well and incorrectly this season.
“He encouraged everyone that hard effort pays reward, but to keep in mind both the things we accomplished well this year and the mistakes we made. The 28-year-old said, “Mahi bhai replied, ‘Yeh season tumko kya sikha ke gaya hai, aur aage kya karna hai, yeh zaroor sochna’ (What has this season taught you, and what to do next, please think about that).
