‘Ese maaroge toh main nahi kheloonga’ – Fans react to Mark Wood’s statement to MS Dhoni’s second six in the Indian Premier League 2023

As Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni entered the game to deliver the final over of the innings, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) speedster Mark Wood possessed plans for the captain. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper was undoubtedly aiming for the stars because his team required a strong result. 

Wood and Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul had a straightforward strategy for Dhoni: bowl a bouncer clear off stump to ensure the former Team India skipper couldn’t get a hold of it, then hit for the pull. Dhoni snapped his blade on the first of these balls, and its outer edge sailed over the lines at the third man. The following delivery from Wood came even faster, but Dhoni, already being aware of the strategy, retrieved the ball from far off and pulled it across the deep square leg line for six. He used his experience and generated power 

What did Mark Wood say about the sixes that Dhoni hit off his bowling?

Mark Wood spoke to the media about the match and discussed his plans to get the former Team India skipper out. He said, “I was trying my best to get Dhoni out. I was not trying to be defensive. Unfortunately, it cost me 12 runs. That second shot that he hit for six was an amazing shot. KL and I had decided to bowl a bouncer and bowl it wide so that if he is going to hit it, he got to fetch it from wide of off stump. For Dhoni to hit pretty far was incredible.” 

The England speedster then spoke about his unfinished business in the IPL. He added, “The last time when I was with Chennai, I was nowhere near the mark. I played one match and got smashed. I feel I have a little bit of unfinished business. And need to prove myself at this big stage. I have done well for England playing IPL and T20 but I have not cracked the IPL so far. I am trying my best to prove myself in IPL.”
