Adam Gilchrist on MS Dhoni’s captaincy: ‘Is the brain still surprisingly staying for him …’ Cricket news
Former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist has questioned MS Dhoni’s strategic decisions and batting performances after the Chennai Super Kings’ two-Ann defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Damage marked RCB’s first dual win over CSK in an IPL season, and carried forward the defective run of a five -time champion in IPL 2025.
Gilchrist specially criticized Dhoni’s decision to use Khalil Ahmed in the 19th over, instead of the 19th over, instead of Shikul Kamhoj or Ravindra Jadeja. Khalil, who had already scored 32 runs in his first two powerplay overs, was hit by Romario Shepherd for 33 runs.

“Cleverly, I don’t know what a big difference could be made. Khalel was risky after returning to return to somewhat to some extent for 32 runs in the first two overs. He might have gone to Kambhoj. Given that with an additional over with Noor, he could also have a mixed bag.
Former Australian wicketkeeper-Better questioned whether Dhoni’s strategic skill is fast as a retirement approach.
“Ms.1 … she is never animated or no visible signs show that she is upset. I am surprised if the energy is still being generated internal for her. Is the brain still staying for her as it is always as it is forever, because she is close to this year and close.
Gilchrist also commented on Dhoni’s batting abilities at the age of 43, especially his dismissal against Yash Dayal.
“Even MS, just a sign where he is. Just to remember that one … it was a full toss effectively. He never remembered those people … just used to pick them up,” Gilchrist said.
South African cricket veteran Sean Pollock intervened during the discussion, given that Dhoni would usually play such delivery with his signature helicopter shot.
