Legendary former West Indies skipper Brian Lara is of the opinion that MS Dhoni should consider other options for the role of a finisher as the latter has been struggling of late. Chennai Super Kings’ latest defeat came against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday.
Dhoni has failed to provide the finishing touches and last night was no different. The 39-year-old scored 11 off 12 balls before getting out to Varun Chakravarthy. Chasing 168 for victory, the three-time champions ended up losing the game by 10 runs.
“It’s a bit puzzling (Dhoni inability to finish). You feel that he has created that position where he can be flexible with himself but I think he needs to maybe look at some other players,” Lara was quoted as saying on Star Sports.
According to Lara, Dwayne Bravo should be promoted up the order. The all-rounder scalped three wickets against KKR but didn’t get to bat.
The Chennai outfit was cruising after the first 10 overs. The side had scored 90 runs at the loss of one wicket with Shane Watson in good touch. They needed 78 runs off 60 balls with nine wickets intact. However, things took a sudden turn as KKR got back into the game in the later stages.
