Poor decision from MSD which results in Chennai Super Kings defeat!!!

Hi sami, you are absolutely right. There was no point as to why Dhoin promoted R Saha at 4. Sometime I feel he is not a captain of the Team India. I am happy that Kings xi punjub won the match. Dhoni, it seems does what he wants to do like an autocrat. Even when he is batting and run rate is soaring high he is totally nonchalant and goes on in his own pace. This is not good cricket anyway.

Actually I do not think it was such a bad move at that moment. Because the match was nicely in the grasp and all it needed was finishing and this was a chance to allow Saha to get some runs under his belt. Unfortunately, it did not come off and now looks really a bad decision. But of course, Saha played poorly and that definitely was the turning point of the match. Cheers! Ram

just one question.why batsmen of the calibre of morkel and bravo bat numbet 7 and 8? the csk top 6 must be very loaded to make these guys bat lower than hardbhajan.

well sometime decision go good sometime not, this time it doesn't for dnoni he mad two poor decesion one as you said saha who played test in t20 and eve no perfectly that and anotner one he got run out. If he wouldnot have run that ball match result was diffrent. Gve credit to opposite team also. Punjab played sensible to win the macth as there was some twist and tiurns all over in the tiune of match as it progress to end. Finally Kings XI Punjab won by 7 runs Mandeep Singh made his second Twenty20 half-century to help Kings XI Punjab reach 156 Mandeep provided the initial acceleration for Punjab. The captain of Punjab Marsh is in great form in the IPL, helped him grow his pace and let punjab to a good opening with Punjab at 68 for 0 after eight overs. Marsh was caught out of R Ashwin bowling. Azhar Mahmood was sent up the orderbut he didn't contributed much as he was supposed to as on the other day he was star but today he din't shine. It late fumble for opunjab . David Hussey sent at last in which he had only four overs to bat, which meant he had to swing from ball one. He tired it but failed, soon after Mandeep's tired heave to long-off, and Punjab went on to lose 6 for 27 towards the end of the innings. It was R Ashwin who dried the dried up the runs early in the innings, while in the ends all bowlers have thier share. Dwayne Bravo took three wickets in overall. Faf du Plessis and S Badrinath will open Super Kings' chase and while Praveen Kumar open the bowling for punjab. Plessis as sual hit hard start with abng and he hit Bipul Sharma, make his a traget but Azhar Mahmood bowled Plessis. Still badrinath and Raina continues the chase well. It was hard for them as run rate was good. Soon Azhar Mahmood strikes and bowled Badrinatha and in few overs later Raina was get stumped. Dhoni get foolishly run out. jadeja was give life but didn't capitilized it. he was to caught of chawala. Still chance was there as bravo was there. he struck two sixes and some fours to praveen but he a an attempt got out. Morel had no option but he have to as Azhar Mahmood bowled very well in last over. What i think is that no big inning from the team chennai it was achivable task. Bad cluck for them Well played KXI pUnjab you deserve it.

Well Dhoni is known for making those kind of decisions that are completely out of the way, but they still turn out to be good decisions. This time it just didn't work so there is no point of criticizing him!
