IPL 2018, DD vs CSK: 5 players to look forward to

MS Dhoni

MSD

There is some cosmic connection when MSD wears the yellow jersey to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He transforms into a different player altogether.

His transformation in this IPL with the bat is really good signs for CSK and more importantly for the Indian team heading into the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019.

There were calls of him stepping away from the T20 format for India, which seemed like a fair argument considering his dip in form in recent times. What this season of IPL has done is to shut those critics who doubted MSD’s position in the team.

Clean hitting, having found most of his finishing touch back, MSD looks calm and relaxed this IPL. He has an emotional connect with CSK and I guess that’s transpired in him performing so well as compared to the last two years with Rising Pune Supergiants. MSD was not good with the bat, and he lost his captaincy to Steve Smith.

He has returned to his adopted home, CSK and has rolled back the clock. He is surely one of the reasons for CSK’s dominance in IPL 2018. And although today’s game is going to be played at the Kotla, don’t be surprised to see the fans cheer for MSD- as where ever CSK plays, it is almost like a home game for them,
