Former CSK batter Ambati Rayudu stated that Dhoni has placed a great deal of importance to his fitness. At 42, Dhoni is in perfect shape. The veteran has been smashing sixes in the death overs and has shown great agility as a wicket-keeper in the Indian Premier League 2024.
Dhoni has amassed 136 runs at a strike of 226.26 in 13 games. In fact, Dhoni’s average (68) is the highest amongst the Chennai batters. In IPL 2024, he has only been dismissed twice. Dhoni has already smacked 12 sixes, and Rayudu claimed that his commitment to fitness and big-hitting are the keys to his success.
“He has been working out in the gym for the past two years. He’s been lifting a lot of weights and investing a lot of time in his recovery process. He takes care of his physique and muscles to avoid injures. The fact that he has been batting frequently is what drives him and allows the veteran to hit sixes in the nets,” Ambati Rayudu said.
After KKR and MI, CSK became the third team to win 50 games at home. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Super Kings defeated Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals by five wickets to accomplish the feat. Dhoni and the other Chennai members were felicitated after the latest game.
Dhoni will be vital to CSK’s playoff chances when they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 18 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
