velu Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Quote “I have practised that shot since childhood,” Choudhary revealed after the match. “I always admired how Dhoni used to finish games, even hitting yorkers for six. When you pull off shots like that, it forces the bowler to rethink their plan.” He also dedicated the innings to his father and Dhoni, adding, “We’ve all seen MS sir finish games from these situations. I’m trying to replicate that in my role.” @New guy @maniac https://www.sportsyaari.com/cricket/for-my-father-and-dhoni-mukul-choudharys-knock-that-felt-written-by-destiny-24408/ New guy, Tillu, Ultimate_Game and 3 others 3 3
zen Posted April 10 Posted April 10 I only watched the last over. The guy played a couple of terrific shots, both 6s, in high pressure situation. velu 1
cricketfan28 Posted April 10 Posted April 10 That is why we see lot of cult dhoni fans ..man inspired many in other fields as well ..If i remember correctly kannada-cum-pan india super star yash is also a dhoni bhakth. It's the mind set.

Hope that becoems true. We are stuck with RInku now. But his game against spin needs thorough testing. Ultimate_Game 1

It's a thankless position. You're supposed to go from ball one. If you succeed you barely get to score 20 odd off 10 odd deliveries and nobody would highlight it, and if you fall for a single digit score everyone will highlight the failure. The spot should be transitional as whoever is in form should bat there. Have a shortlist of people who can bat at 6 or 7 and go from ball one and pick anyone who's in great form prior to the tourney. velu 1

He has similar role to what babar had in this wc in pak batting line-up as described by their coach. He bats if team loses early wkt or there is a mini collapse, else if batting goes on doing fine they push him back like a batter after batters and if he gets to bat by then he goes an swing at each ball and hope few connects. This was the same role Aus was asking if smith can take it up asking him to bat at 5 before moving away from anchor role. The whole idea is that we do not need an anchor at the top we need anchor only when it needed. Edited April 11 by tapandrun

But that role doesn't need to be fixed for anyone and if other players are in better form than pick them. Key is to get away from the star culture which held us back so far. Nobody is permanent and pick the player who is in best form before the ICC tourney. velu and cricspirit 2
