Chennai Super Kings have started IPL 2024 on a very positive and joyous note as they have already bagged 4 points after earning two victories in the first two games of the season. This is nothing new for a team as successful as CSK, who have a history of record-breaking performances.
However, what's new is that the team this year is not playing under the captaincy of MS Dhoni but the young star Ruturaj Gaikwad. Before the beginning of their campaign, Dhoni announced his decision to step down from CSK's leadership and handed it over to Gaikwad, who so far has handled it very well.
Deepak Chahar, however, shed light on how is it not having Dhoni as the skipper anymore and playing under Gaikwad. When asked about how it feels to now look at Gaikwad and not Dhoni for instructions and field setup, Chahar gave a rather interesting response.
Deepak Chahar, on Tuesday, picked two wickets against Gujarat Titans during Chennai Super Kings' second contest in IPL 2024. Playing an instrumental role in pulling off a successful defense, Chahar dismissed both the Gujarat openers, Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha.
He also spoke about the newly launched two bouncer rule and how it helps the bowlers as he said, "Obviously because if you bowl a bouncer or slow bouncer n first 2-3 balls, the batter gets ready as to where will the bowler bowl the next ball. But with two bouncers, you can change the length anytime. So as a batter, it keeps on playing in the mind where will the next ball be bowled. So obviously, that doubt is generated and I think, with two bouncers bowlers also get support."
