Worst Ever Year for MS Dhoni? Here is why #MSD #MSDhoni #Dhoni #IPL #CSK #Thala #Mahi #CSKvRCB #RCBvCSK

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, The Captain Cool, is an achiever! He has achieved so much for the Indian cricket team, which is unprecedented in Indian Cricket history. His record is beyond comparison to any of the past Indian Captains. There is no Trophy in International Cricket, which MS Dhoni has not lifted for India. But he and his team are in shambles right now in the Indian Premier League 2020.

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings has been a favorite before the start of every IPL season. They have won the IPL title thrice and also managed to reach the finals quite a few times. But this year, It’s a different story altogether. It has been the worst IPL season for Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni as well. CSK is stuck at the last spot in the IPL Points Table.
Chennai Super Kings has played 11 matches and won only three. This means they are the lowest in IPL Standing right now, and it is very unlikely to change from here onwards.
The team has not produced anything special. Most of the matches were a totally one-sided affair.

Poor MS Dhoni Form.

MS Dhoni IPL Career Stats.

MS Dhoni Stats	Matches	Not Outs	Total Runs	Average	Strike Rate	Highest Score	4s	6s	100	50	CT	ST
Career	201	68	4612	41.17	137.18	84*	310	216	0	23	112	39

But If we look into this year’s performances, Dhoni’s stats crumble to significantly lower numbers.

MS Dhoni Stats in this IPL2020 Season 13

MS Dhoni Stats in IPL2020	Matches	Not Outs	Total Runs	Average	Strike Rate	Highest Score	4s	6s	100	50	CT	ST
2020	11	3	180	25.71	122.44	47*	13	7	0	0	14	1

It is important to note here that this year’s batting average is Dhoni’s worst Average in all thirteen IPL seasons. His Strike Rate this season is also the worst in his IPL career history. He has not managed to score a 50 this season and has scored just 180 runs in 11 matches he played so far.

Previous Year’s Dhoni Performance vs This Year’s Performance.

MS Dhoni Stats in IPL2019	Matches	Not Outs	Total Runs	Average	Strike Rate	Highest Score	4s	6s	100	50	CT	ST
2019	15	7	416	83.2	134.62	84*	22	23	0	3	11	5

In contrast to previous year Dhoni’s Average has dropped from 83.2 to just 25. This stat is a clear indicator that Mahi is having a very tough IPL Season this year. Which is also one cause of CSK’s Failure this year.

After MSD’s big comeback the fans were expecting something spectacular from the Captain Cool but Thala was unable to deliver it. This might be due to many reasons. It could be the missing Team Players, It could well be due to new dry U.A.E playing conditions or it could also be the stiffness from the 437 days long break Dhoni had before this IPL season. Whatever it may be, Fans want their old Thala back.

Conclusion:

Lets hope MS Dhoni is able to close the season on a high from here and give his fans some thing to cheer about in this Indian Premier League season 13.
