‘But but Dhoni is a credit stealer’ – Fans react to Tushar Deshpande crediting MS Dhoni for his success in IPL 2023

Chennai Super Kings pacer Tushar Deshpande has credited his IPL 2023 success to his skipper MS Dhoni. The former took 21 wickets in 16 games. However, on occasions, Deshpande was notorious for conceding too many runs. Meanwhile, after winning the tournament, the right-arm pacer had an interview with The Indian Express. During the interaction, the Mumbaikar mentioned how Dhoni lifted his confidence.

“Once I didn’t bowl well, he came and said that with the new impact rule, 200 plus score is the new normal and he told me don’t worry about my place. He gave the surety which is what (young) players want,” Deshpande told The Indian Express.

Tushar added that he always had Dhoni to guide and how much the latter is selfless.

“You know you have someone who will guide and show the light when things are not going in our favour. He is a selfless guy and keeps things simple. He doesn’t complicate things and will be with you in your bad times. Like a soldier I will just follow whatever he says. I know he can never take me on a wrong path,” Deshpande says.

MS Dhoni’s plans are very clear: Tushar Deshpande

The pacer further added that Dhoni’s plans are always clear during games. The former added that Dhoni gives the freedom and mentioned about he has the ability to play at the top level

“His (MS Dhoni) plans are very clear ke yeh yeh karna hai and then one has to execute. He will give freedom as well and when needed he will put a word. He told me that I have everything to play at the top, just be calm, take a deep breath. Keeping mind- shaant is the key (keep the mind calm), Deshpande says.
