Simon Doull has blasted MS Dhoni for refusing singles, playing dot ball and giving up on the game with Ravindra Jadeja batting at the other end, during Chennai Super Kings’ 20-run loss against Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam.
Dhoni smacked four fours and three sixes to regale the packed Visakhapatnam crowd during his 16-ball 37.
“There was lot of oohs and aahs about Dhoni’s innings. But he blocked a lot of balls. he faced a lot of dots. Then he started to not take runs. I couldn’t believe what I was watching,” Doull said on Cricbuzz live.

“I know he is the great MS Dhoni but it was a poor call. Really poor call not to take run. You are still trying to win a game. I know he was batting after a long time, first time he came out to bat in this season and he is probaly thinking at some stage maybe he got to find some form but I didn’t agree with it. I didn’t agree with what happen in that situation. To me it was a really poor look.
“I was watching and I was thinking, you know am I allowed to say this.. well yeah we have to at some stage you have too.
“It didn’t looked good to me watching on the television. I have enormous amount of respect for the man but that just didn’t quite looked right to me, when he was hitting the ball and not taking the runs.
“Yes they might need sixes, their might be boundaries only required but there were a lot of oohs and aahs made about it. He is back, Dhoni is back, they lost the game,” he said.
Doull also said the most bizarre thing was Dhoni had Ravindra Jadeja, hero of the last year’s IPL final with him but he was still not taking singles.
“It’s not like you have got a bunny on the other hand. You have Jadeja at the other end. Think about the final last year, what happened in the final last year .. six and four needed of the last two balls to win the title. It’s not like he can’t hit the ball out of the park,” said Doull.
Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
