Rohit who made a mistake
Crack bowler Unadkat. When he was in the Pune team in 2017, due to the ‘advice’ of captain Dhoni, Unadkat (24 for 12) performed better. In 2018, Rs. 11. Rajasthan cheated by buying your block (11 wickets out of 15) for Rs 5 crore.
Besides, Dhoni is well aware of your bowling. Dhoni, who faced 43 balls, has scored 105 runs. In the last over of the 2019 series, Dhoni hit three sixes.
Rohit, who came to the Mumbai team this time, made a mistake by giving the last over. Dhoni used the opportunity to intimidate.
Jadeja ‘respects’
Dhoni returned to the pavilion after the win against Mumbai. Captain Jadeja, who was there at the time, bowed before Dhoni and paid his respects.
