The cricket fans have eagerly waited for the Indian Premier League (IPL) to start hoping for some fireworks. Quite contrary to their expectations, the tournament started with a poor start as the TV ratings were not that good compared to the previous seasons.

On top of this, the big teams have failed to register their maiden win in the tournament so far. The Ravindra Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings had lost four consecutive matches and in its previous match, it had struggled to fight against SRH, which was also not in good form. Dhoni magic is missing in the season with Jadeja taking up the captaincy.

CSK is on the verge of creating a poor season like 2020. If the losing streak continues the team has to leave the tournament mid-season as it did in 2020 at the playoffs. Amid this, an ex-CSK had come up with a suggestion for the Whistle Podu team.

Former Indian Player, who was earlier associated with CSK Parthiv Patel said that former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni should open the innings. The left-hander batsman said that Dhoni’s power striking will help the team to make a big score if he can play long innings with some fireworks.

Parthiv Patel appeared as one of the guests for a talk show hosted by Cricbuzz. Talking about the poor form of CSK, Patel said that Dhoni still has that destructive skill, and if he manages to stick on the field for 14 to 15 overs, then the Chennai team will have a bigger advantage.

Patel had highlighted the role Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been playing for the CSK as a pinch hitter and a finisher and said that, if Dhoni gets to play more balls then it would make wonders for the CSK. He said that CSK is having a tough time and Dhoni can help CSK.

MS Dhoni who has been leading CSK since its inception leaving the two seasons it was banned had decided to step down as the skipper. As his replacement, Ravindra Jadeja was picked by him and the team management said yes to this. However, Jadeja Captaincy did not work for the team.
