In a recent development in the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir has praised Chennai Super Kings for utilizing MS Dhoni as a finisher in the T20 tournament. Gambhir believes that giving Dhoni the freedom to make an instant impact in the crucial role has been a game-changer for the defending champions.

Dhoni showcased his finishing skills in a thrilling encounter against Mumbai Indians, where he smashed three sixes in the final over to secure a 20-run victory for CSK. The former captain also played a crucial unbeaten knock of 28 off nine balls against Lucknow Super Giants, earning accolades for his performance.

Gambhir highlighted the strategic decision of using Dhoni as a finisher, allowing him to play with freedom and express himself in just 8-10 balls. The mentor emphasized the importance of a secure dressing room for players’ success, pointing out the leadership similarities between the former KKR and CSK skippers.

With Dhoni on the verge of completing 250 sixes in the IPL and maintaining an unbeaten streak in the ongoing season, the CSK icon has proven his worth as a reliable finisher. As CSK gears up to face Punjab Kings in the upcoming match, all eyes will be on Dhoni to continue his impressive form and lead his team to victory.
