IPL 2026: 'His Strength In Death Overs Is Second To None,' Says Du Plessis On Dhoni's Batting Position
Former South Africa: Former South Africa player has opposed the idea of sending Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stalwart MS Dhoni up above the batting order in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will commence on March 28, stating that the former captain's strength lies in making the best use of death overs.
Dhoni, who will be the oldest player in the IPL 2026, is practising hard ahead of the tournament. He had a poor season last year, batting at the 8th position and not being impactful at the end. However, according to Du Plessis, this should not propel the team to change his position.
“There are a handful of players in the world who have that clarity and backing to do it in the 19th and 20th overs. The mere mortals out there think there is more pressure in the 19th and 20th overs than in the 16th. But his clarity in those last 18 balls of the match, when he can really zone in on what is required, is second to none," Du Plessis told Jio Hotstar.
