The Chennai Super Kings, who are one of the most successful teams in the history of the competition, have not managed to qualify for the playoffs over the past two seasons. However, CSK turned out with a revamped side for the upcoming season in 2026.
Former English cricketer Michael Vaughan realized that wicket-keepers are key to the T20 teams, and they can help the Indian players to be in full swing in the contest.
He further reflected on the brilliance cast by the Indian legend MS Dhoni, who has been a monumental figure behind the stumps. Dhoni truly was a veteran skipper well aware of the field conditions and could read the bowler's mind, which helped him opt for the right fielding positions.
"He will be moving the field, knowing the spinner, for instance, will be bowling a certain ball. He might have had a signal; I'm not sure if he did, but I am sure he did so much. If Jadeja is going to bowl wide of the off-stump, mid-off could go a bit wider. That's what he is there for, you know. Sam Billings does it in T20 cricket for all the franchise teams that he plays in," he added.
"You are talking about small percentages, but they get really big in T20s" - Michael Vaughan
"You are talking about small percentages, but they get really big in T20s, as you would be playing just 120 balls, with what you know you can deliver in terms of control, the angles the pitch, the dimensions and the wicket-keeper maneuvering the field."
Will MS Dhoni be available for the upcoming CSK vs PBKS match?
MS Dhoni has reportedly been ruled out of the start of the IPL for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The 44-year-old veteran star missed out due to a calf injury and will likely not return for almost two weeks. Vaughan had earlier predicted this as a tactical move.
They started off the competition with a massive defeat against the Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand, one question that remains as a major challenge would be whether MS Dhoni will be featuring in the upcoming game.
