Mohammad Kaif speaks on MS Dhoni vs Yash Dayal clash
Former Indian player Mohammad Kaif expresses his opinion ahead of the big clash of the southern derby. Mohammad Kaif says that Yash Dayal vs MS Dhoni will be one of the best matchups that will be witnessed. Since MS Dhoni has scored 136 runs but smashed boundaries in countable balls. Yash Dayal who is not a perfect option in death has bowled most of the overs in death and conceded runs but in recent matches, he has improved. Mohammed Siraj is the perfect option over Yash Dayal which skipper Faf Du Plessis needs to think about.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru who have shown their class in past matches keeping the winning streak will try to grab that opportunity and secure the playoff berth. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings will also try to keep their momentum high and have no wrong hiccups, or else the result will go the opposite way.
Mohammad Kaif says:
“That is the weak area for RCB, that who will you bowl at the death? They brought Yash Dayal, who bowls back-of-the-hand slower ones. MS Dhoni will like his speed a lot. If you bowl at a speed of 125 to 130 kph, he won’t spare you. I am giving you that guarantee,” he responded.
“(Mohammed) Siraj has speed. He comes running in. 130 kph bowlers will not work against Dhoni. You need balls to be bowled at 140-145 kph and don’t bowl yorkers. He remains ready for the yorker. We have spoken about the short ball, bowl the slower ones, and keep it away,” Kaif explained.
