Harbhajan Singh on MS Dhoni:

“I would like to present some stats. Dhoni sahab bahut bade khiladi hain, par jab woh aaye hain, match khatam ho chuka tha (Dhoni has been a great player, but by the time he came out to bat, the match was all but over). Whenever Dhoni has chased since IPL 2023 in winning causes, he has scored just 3 runs in 9 balls, without a single boundary or six. But in losing causes, Dhoni has scored 166 runs in 84 balls with 13 fours and 13 sixes,” Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.

“This means that Dhoni averages just 8 in matches CSK has won, while in the games lost, his average is 49. Who wants to watch matches lost? And this, I think, is a major issue CSK needs to fix,” the four-time IPL champion added.
