MI?s Ishan Kishan not worth INR 15 crores says, Shane Watson: Former Aussie all-rounder reckons Mumbai Indians (MI) young wicketkeeper batter, Ishan Kishan went utterly expensive during the player's auctions held in February. Watson has slammed the five times IPL champions for aggressively bidding for Ishan Kishan and blowing away nearly full salary.



Shane Watson, who is present with Delhi Capitals as a coach, further lambasted Mumbai for buying injured Jofra Archer at a massive sum.



MI bought the likes of Ishan Kishan for a colossal sum of INR 15.25 crores after fighting bidding wars with a couple of franchises while Jofra Archer was bagged at INR 8 crores price.



Mumbai?s winless run in the Tata IPL 2022 continued as the franchise lost its sixth fixture against Lucknow Super Giants in the Brabourne Stadium. It?s now almost a fact that Mumbai Indians are partially eliminated from the Tata IPL 2022 playoff race.



"It hasn't surprised me that MI are at the bottom of the table because they had a shocking auction. Spending so much money on Ishan Kishan... He is a very talented and skilful player, but he's not worth blowing nearly your whole salary on," Watson said on the Grade Cricketer podcast.



Mumbai retained the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard ahead of the mega auction.?

The former all-rounder added that Mumbai?s strategy to go after Jofra Archer wasn?t a great move.



"And then, going for Jofra Archer, not knowing whether he is going to come back in. He hasn't played cricket for quite a while. They have got quite a few holes in the team," he added.



Notably, the Ambani owned IPL team also spent INR 8 crores on Tim David, however, the batter was benched soon after a couple of initial matches.&nbsp;



The team in blue and gold couldn?t get over the line even in their latest fixture against Lucknow Super Giants. Mumbai now has registered six consecutive losses in six matches in the Tata IPL 2022. LSG defeated Mumbai by 18 runs.

Shane Watson recalls time when he saw MS Dhoni angry in IPL as CSK skipper: Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Shane Watson has recalled a moment when he saw Mahendra Singh Dhoni losing his cool during a match in the Indian Premier League. Watson said he never saw Dhoni furious except for that one moment during the IPL 2019.



Mahendra Singh Dhoni is widely known as captain cool for his chilled demeanour, besides his sharp captaincy and finishing skills. Owing to his brilliant captaincy, and cool behaviour, MS Dhoni has led team India to three ICC titles, besides taking Chennai Super Kings to four IPL victories, of which one came in last season.



Watson in a conversation with India Today said that MS is the coolest person in the dressing room. He also tries to keep the negative energies out of the dressing room so that it doesn?t affect the players.



The former CSK batter further said that it was during IPL 2019 when CSK were playing against Mumbai Indians, and Dhoni lost a bit of his cool and kicked his bag.

?When you talk about whether he gets flustered or anything, the only time I have seen him a tiny bit frustrated was when we lost against MI in the IPL final in 2019. I saw him halfway kick his bag a little bit, just a tiny bit. You could see how much it meant to him,? the former Australia player was quoted by India Today.



?No matter what the situation is, he is calm. It resonates throughout the whole group. One of the most important things in a cricket environment is to take all the worry and stress out of the environment and that?s what he does because of who the person he is,? Watson added.



The former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, once again showed his cool demeanour during the recent high-pressure contest against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI). CSK required 17 runs off the final over and MS Dhoni did what he does the best.



The CSK keeper scored 16 off the last four deliveries against Mumbai and took CSK to the second victory of the season.&nbsp;

MS Dhoni, the face and the heart of the Chennai Super Kings was expected to play his last TATA IPL in this season. But this ex-Chennai Super Kings megastar has a different opinion. He says that MS Dhoni can play for the Chennai Super Kings for at least 3 to 4 more years. MS Dhoni was expected to leave in TATA IPL 2022, but it would not be fair on the part of the crowds and his lovers to not see his final game in Chennai. Here is an in-depth look:?



<h2>Shane Watson Says, ?MS Dhoni Can Play for 3 to 4 More IPL Seasons?:&nbsp;</h2>



In an interview with ANI during the ongoing Legends League Cricket Tournament held in Doha, this is what Shane Watson had to say, ?I heard that this is the last IPL of MS Dhoni, but I don't think. MS Dhoni can continue to play for the next three to four years. He is still very fit and batting and wicket-keeping really well. His leadership is something that is as good as his game. His fitness and mind-reading of the game make him a good leader. His skills on the ground are awesome. He is one of the main reasons that CSK is successful.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Shane-Watson-2CSK.jpg" alt="Shane Watson on MS Dhoni" class="wp-image-20666" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Watson infamously played with a bleeding knee for the Chennai Super Kings. That was his love for the franchise! IMG SRC: CSK</figcaption></figure>



Watson is set to play the final in the Legends League Cricket Tournament. He is representing the World Giants. They are set to square off against Asia Lions in the final. The tournament has its final on March 20. Watson is playing alongside many superstars such as Jacques Kallis, Aaron Finch, and Chris Gayle. &nbsp;



<h2>Deepak Chahar Gives Big Update on MS Dhoni?s future in TATA IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



Deepak Chahar, the leader of the pace attack of the Chennai Super Kings and a bowler who has improved a lot under the guidance of MS Dhoni had a major update in a recent interview. In a recent interview with News India Sports, as a promotion for the upcoming TATA IPL the reporter asked Deepak Chahar, ?MS Dhoni will play in his last IPL. You saw him practice. How is his batting going on??.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Deepak-Chahar.jpg" alt="Deepak Chahar on MS Dhoni" class="wp-image-88544" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chahar became an unstoppable force under the guidance of MS Dhoni. Image: IPL/BCCI</figcaption></figure>



This question strongly referred to the fact that this is MS Dhoni?s final IPL season to which, Deepak replied, ?No one has said that this would be his final year. At least, he hasn't. Hopefully, he will play more. We don't know any such thing, we want him to play as much as he can?. Deepak further added, ?He knows when to retire, we saw it when he did in Tests and international cricket. No one else knows. I just hope he continues to play, it's a privilege to play under him. It has been a dream to play with him. He's in good touch as well, you will see that when he bats in the IPL this year.?&nbsp;



MS Dhoni had a decent performance with the bat last season. He even managed to score his first 50 after TATA IPL 2019. He ended the season with a strike rate of 123.0, which is not very lucrative. Hence even the Chennai Super Kings struggled a bit. He scored 232 runs at an average of 33.14. But he was batting very low down the order. ?

With ICC World Cup 2023 giving great joy to fans, the former Australian cricketer <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/158/shane-watson" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/158/shane-watson">Shane Watson</a> has picked his Man of the Tournament. The cricket-turned-commentator backed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to win the prestigious award in the ongoing event. While speaking to Star Sports, he made the prediction.?



Rohit Sharma has looked in terrific touch in the ICC World Cup 2023. The Indian captain has unleashed his beats mode in the tournament and has looked ecstatic to eyes.? The opening batter has destroyed the bowling lineups of the opposition with his attacking batting.?



Rohit Sharma adopted the attacking mindset in the tournament and has made sure that his side is off to a flying start in each game they played. His innings at the top have taken off all the pressure from the middle-order batters and they have taken their time.?

Rohit Sharma started the tournament with a duck against Australia. But after that, he hasn?t looked back. In the very next game, he smashed a brilliant ton against Afghanistan. He continue his carnage in the Pakistan game as well as he smashed a vital 86 runs to take his team home.&nbsp;



Rohit Sharma batted in a similar fashion against Bangladesh and New Zealand as he scored crucial 40s in both games. His attacking batting at the top has put him in the list of the leading run-getters in the ICC World Cup 2023. The Indian skipper has 311 runs and with the way he?s batting, the number is only expected to rise&nbsp;
