N Srinivasan, the former BCCI president and head of India Cements, in his recent interview told that MS Dhoni doesn’t believe in the data analysis meeting and he operates based on his instincts.
Speaking at a webinar organised by the Great Lakes Institute of Management, Srinivasan said, “(In CSK team meetings) they play videos of every batsman whom they’re going to play against and they see how he got out, what’s his strength, what’s his weakness etc. MS Dhoni doesn’t attend this, he’s a pure instinct man. The bowling coach, head coach Stephen Fleming will be there, everyone gives opinions, but Dhoni gets up and leaves.”
Srinivasan also added that Dhoni once stopped the team from buying one “outstanding” player.
“There was one outstanding player that we suggested to MS, he said: ‘No sir, he will spoil the team’,” Srinivasan said.
Meanwhile, Indian Premier League is all set to begin from September and will go on till November. IPL franchises will be meeting the council soon to discuss regarding the complications during this coronavirus pandemic.
