New Delhi [India], March 25 (ANI): The former Indian skipper MS Dhoni , frequently taking on the role of the finisher IPL The player representing his team, Chennai Super Kings, mentioned that he aims to score additional runs with each swing of the bat.

As you step up to bat, your focus shifts to the scoreboard—what the team expects from you. When anticipating around 4-5 balls, aim to score as many boundaries as possible. In that instant, your sole objective is striking a six. Planning for fours isn’t typically part of your strategy, particularly when additional wickets remain unused. Fours often result incidentally; your primary target remains scoring sixes. MS Dhoni told Jio Hostar.

Thanks to divine providence, I've managed to accumulate numerous runs from recent deliveries since each run becomes crucial in a high-scoring match. Scoring an additional two runs can make all the difference when hitting a six rather than a four. This is why I continually emphasize to our bowlers: 'Even though they might score boundary after boundary off your bowling, maintaining composure and delivering a dot ball on the final throw could significantly aid our victory,' " said the wicketkeeper-batsman. He further stressed, "'The bowlers should hold this conviction; similarly, batters must also trust themselves with unwavering assurance.'

At 43, Dhoni continues to perform remarkably well and holds a vital spot within the team’s framework as part of the five-time champions. He remains steadfast in his role as a closer for Chennai.

The seasoned wicketkeeper goes up to bat for a brief period, demonstrating his powerful hitting skills.

Dhoni needs just 19 more runs to become the franchise's all-time highest run-scorer in the competition. IPL Suresh Raina holds the record for the most runs scored with 4,687. (ANI)
