Ultimate_Game Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) We all know what a legend and match winner Dhoni is at intl level where he has single handedly won bunch of matches and tournaments for India. I was going through cricinfo and was surprised to see that Dhoni has done the same at IP as well, i.e. bigger the match, better the performance Here's the excerpt from the article... Quote Dhoni has excellent numbers in IPL playoffs and knockout matches, moreover, scoring 397 runs in 14 innings at an average of 44.11 and a strike rate of 139.78 - both are improvements on his overall IPL figures. He has done particularly well against Mumbai in playoffs and knockout games, scoring 154 runs in five innings at 51.33, with two half-centuries, and a strike rate of 163.82. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2017/content/story/1097984.html As we knew all along and have seen this IPL as well Dhoni shows up when it matters the most and against better teams. I mean look at how Dhoni won 2 matches on his own against the bowling team in IPL SRH and took on comfortably the best bowler of this IPL, and one of my favorites, Bhuvi! What a man! What a legend!!! No wonder Mumbai are shaking in their boots at the prospect of facing Dhoni Edited May 15, 2017 by Ultimate_Game Shunya, Stuge and velu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate_Game Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Another interesting snippet from the same article... Rohit Sharma does not have a great record in IPL playoffs and knockout matches. In 12 innings for Deccan Chargers and Mumbai, he has scored 159 runs at 14.45 and a strike rate of 101.27, with only one half-century. Looks like Rohit Sharma is king of cheap runs in IPL as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laaloo Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I can assure you mumbai fans want tony bhai to spend as much time at the crease as possible. He can stem the run rate and get much needed breakthrough for us by scalping well set batsmen at the other end.
