KKR, RCB look to sort top order batting woes ahead of IPL 2024 face-off
The KKR side boasts of a strong bowling unit, at least on paper, and such under-par efforts with the bat could prove costly to RCB’s chances.
Dhoni also said he would be waiting for the young dasher to take strike.
Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has accepted young Delhi Capitals batsman Rishabh Pant’s challenge ahead of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2019).
Responding to Pant’s challenge, the youngster has said he is looking to unleash himself on CSK and his teacher MSD, Dhoni said he used to feel the same way when he started off. Dhoni also said he would be waiting for the young dasher to take strike.
In a promotion video of the official broadcaster for the upcoming IPL campaign, Dhoni challenged Pant to show his game and make a name for himself.

“Jab main maidan pe utra tha, toh aise hi sochta tha…aaja Rishabh, wicket ke peeche toh main hi rahunga. Game dikha, name bana (When I made my debut, I also thought like this…come Rishabh, I shall be waiting for you behind the wicket. Show your game and make a name),” Dhoni can be heard saying in the video.
Earlier, Rishabh had said: “Mahi bhai na guru ke samaan hain. Agar Mahi bhai nahi hote na, pata nahi mai wicketkeeper-batsman hota, nahi hota (Mahi bhai is like a teacher. If Mahi bhai wouldn’t have been there, I don’t know if I would have been a wicketkeeper-batsman).”
Mahi Bhai, Sab aap se seekha hai, toh aap ke saamne game toh dikhana banta hai! 😉#VIVOIPL mein milengey – Kya kehte ho, @msdhoni @StarSportsIndia @IPL pic.twitter.com/eoJXJmhbDX

“Lekin is baari unki team pe main aisa barsoonga ki captain cool, cool nahi rahenge. Mahi bhai tayyar rehna, game dikhane aa raha hoon (But this time, I will rain down at his team so hard that captain cool won’t remain cool. Mahi bhai be ready, I’m coming to show you the game).”
