CSK vs SRH: MS Dhoni’s Perfect Fielding Change Leads to Harry Brook’s Dismissal

CSK vs SRH: MS Dhoni is known for his brilliant tactics and field placements which have allowed him to achieve great success as a skipper. In the CSK vs SRH game, MS Dhoni made a tactical fielding change which resulted in Harry Brook’s dismissal right on the next delivery against CSK pacer Akash Singh.

Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a good start against the Chennai Super Kings. Additionally, they had put on 34 runs in the first four overs. SRH openers Harry Brook and Abhishek Sharma were timing the ball really well and didn’t face any issues against the CSK pace bowling lineup.

CSK vs SRH: MS Dhoni’s brilliant anticipation leads to the dismissal of in-form Harry Brook

Left-arm pacer Akash Singh bowled two decent overs with the new ball. However, he couldn’t dismiss any of the SRH opening batters. MS Dhoni continued with him as he called him to bowl the 5th over of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s innings.

Furthermore, Abhishek Sharma took a single off the first delivery as Harry Brook got back to the strike. Just before the second delivery, Dhoni brought Gaikwad into a position between the backward point and short third as he anticipated that the ball might go in that direction.

Gaikwad wasn’t even in the frame on the first delivery and it was MS Dhoni’s tactical field placement to dismiss Brook. Akash Singh bowled a wide full-length delivery and Harry Brook slashed it with hard hands. The ball went flying toward Ruturaj Gaikwad who completed a sharp catch.

Chennai Super Kings desperately needed a wicket at that time. MS Dhoni’s unusual field placement allowed them to get one. Additionally, Brook had scored a ton against KKR. Moreover, he was looking well set to get a big score in the CSK vs SRH game as well.

After the dismissal of Harry Brook, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s innings never got the kind of momentum they were looking for. The CSK bowling lineup restricted them to a below-par total of 134-7 on a slowish Chepauk wicket as Ravindra Jadeja scalped 3 wickets after giving away just 22 runs in his four-over spell.
