He said, “This is not just an award for good fielding but fielding is about winning. CSK has a boy and his name is MS Dhoni and he was batting at a strike rate of around 400. I think Deepak Hooda did a good job on the birthday and was a smart decision. The ball went for 6 runs and this meant that Dhoni did not reach strike for 5 more balls.
