Chennai Super Kings Head Coach Stephen Fleming has delivered an update regarding Dwayne Bravo’s injury. Yesterday during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals we witnessed the Delhi Capitals avenge over the Chennai Super Kings franchise in the ultimate final over.
In the final over, Delhi Capitals required 18 runs to win off the last 6 deliveries as Shikhar Dhawan and Axar Patel were at the crease to face the final over. That is when we saw MS Dhoni made a surprising decision to hand over the ball to Ravindra Jadeja instead of Dwayne Bravo.
This decision shocked many as we weren’t able to make out why would Dhoni hand over the ball to a left-arm spinner when two left-handed batsmen were at the crease.
The gamble didn’t pay off as Axar Patel smacked Ravindra Jadeja for three sixes to seal the deal at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. At the post-match presentation, Dhoni revealed that Dwayne Bravo sustained an injury which is why he was off the field and subsequently couldn’t turn up to bowl the final over.
