IPL 2019: This is what Dhoni wants from his batting unit ahead of the playoffs

XtraTime Web Desk: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings took the game to the last over once again as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in a final-over contest by six wickets at Chennai, thus ending their two-game losing streak and taking a big step towards qualifying for the next stage.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni said, “It’s good to see different individuals step up every game. Nice to see our bowling department do well but would like our batting unit also get into the mode that’s necessary for the playoffs.”
The win was set up by Shane Watson, who announced his return to form with a blistering 96 off 53 balls. Dhoni praised the Aussie allrounder as he said, “I think you can give individuals some games and the team gives them the rest. Watson has been a matchwinner for us. He has been batting well in the nets. Whatever small innings he played so far, he was middling them well although he did struggle a bit. This is the time when you need to back them. The management’s thinking was to give him as many games as possible.”


Dhoni was also seen giving some tips to Johny Bairstow and Manish Pandey after the match.
