Former Indian spinner Amit Mishra explains why MS Dhoni eats his bat before the match

The unstoppable MS Dhoni has left no stone unturned to be gloriously remembered in the history of Indian Cricket. The former Indian captain smashed DC bowlers last night and made a special cameo by making 21 runs from just eight balls.
MS Dhoni helped his side to cross the 200-run mark and put a fighting total of 208 runs. During his stay at the crease, the 41 years old hammered two sixes and one four. However, there’s another highlight from the match that grabbed people’s attention. The CSK captain was seeing eating his bat while waiting for his batting turn. MS was sitting in the dough out, all padded up and was captured chewing his bat.
As soon as the picture went viral, tweeple started the guess the reason behind this movie. Where some people said that it could be a superstitious move, others stated it the reason behind MS Dhoni’s fabulous knock outs.
But finally former Indian spinner Amit Mishra came forward and revealed the reason behind this mystery. Mishra took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, “In case you’re wondering why Dhoni often ‘eats’ his bat. He does that to remove tape of the bat as he likes his bat to be clean. You won’t see a single piece of tape or thread coming out of MS’s bat. #CSKvDC #TATAIPL2022.”
Tata IPL 2022 did not turn out the way CSK and their supporters expected it to be. However, it seems like the team has got back their winning mojo. During the start of this tournament, Chennai Super Kings was led by the debutant captain Ravindra Jadeja. But seems like captaincy over burdened him, and after several losses, Jadeja left the captaincy to MS Dhoni.
CSK has been performing well ever since, however, the team can not qualify for the play-offs but the team can definitely affect or destroy the chances of other IPL teams for the top four order.

Rohit Sharma criticises impact player rule, BCCI reacts
India captian and Mumbai Indians star cricketer Rohit sharma criticised the impact player rule and sad that he is not a big fan of it. Now, BCCI has responded to Sharma’s comment and said that they will reevaluate the rule.
Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal also acknowledged this and said that every decision has advantages and disadvantages, he also mentioned BCCI is prepared to review the regulation when the current IPL season concludes.
Ahead to being established in the IPL, the impact player rule was initially put into effect in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament in 2022–2023. There have been many expert comments regarding the rule that has been in place for almost two editions of the prestigious T20 tournament, with the many of players being against it.
Since this remark has been made, they will certainly analyze it and talk to everyone concerned and then the board will take calls, Dhumal said.
Every rule that is in place has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Nothing about its execution is set in stone, so after the season ends, they are open to any discussion, he continued.
Earlier, Rohit Sharma also discussed how the impact player rule is reducing the role of all-rounders in the sport.
Sharma said, he is not a big fan of Impact sub rule. All rounders will eventually be held back because cricket is ultimately played by 11 players, not 12. To make the game exciting for everyone around you, you are taking a great deal from it. During an interew the hitman said, if the audience look just at the cricketing side of things, he feels guys like Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar aren’t getting to bowl, which is not a good thing for them as a team.
He continued saying that there are 12 players, it’s interesting, and after the team or the captain sees how the game and the pitch are playing, they might turn on the impact player. You can add another bowler, giving you a total of six or seven bowlers, if the team bats effectively and don’t lose wickets. Many teams are hitting well up front, and he hardly ever sees a No 7 or No 8 coming to bat, so the team doesn’t need that additional batter, Rohit Sharma said.
