The Rising Pune Supergiants have tried every combination possible but are yet to get the right balance in the side. With their 2 wicket defeat at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders, the RPS side suffered its fourth consecutive defeat. The skipper MS Dhoni is rightly far from being impressed at the team’s effort.

Dhoni blamed the bowlers for not bowling according to the plans in the match. He admitted that the side definitely lacks the shine when it comes to the bowling department. “It’s not about what should have happened. It’s about how you execute your plans in the field. That is when you relish it and what it takes to win games in the pressure,” said Dhoni reflecting back on the side’s inability to execute the plans.

MSD was dejected at the fact that his spinners were hit on a pitch where it was an uphill task to go against the spinners. “It was difficult to hit the spinners. When I got time, I told the spinners not to bowl up to the batsmen. Still five were hit. The opposition scored 30 runs. No excuses for us,” quoted MS Dhoni.

He also added that as a skipper all he can do is to advise the bowlers on how to go about the things. At the end of the day, it comes down to the bowler as how he delivers under pressure. “We are definitely lacking it, especially the bowling unit. Someone like Murugan Ashwin, he is new and he will feel the pressure. You can advise individuals, but when you have the ball, nothing can be done for you. Overall, there are plenty of areas where we have to improve,” he added.

Interestingly, Dhoni led RPS had made an impactful start this year with a big win over the defending champions, Gujarat Lions.
