“Like playing six-ball and four-ball, he’s doing a great job. If not the best in the game, he’s still some of the best. So don’t underestimate the impact he has on the team just because he comes in,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Ver Laming was quoted as saying: “Nineth. It’s a matter of time but we are very alert to what he can bring to us and we will maximize that. ”
He also pointed out that CSK did not want to put too much pressure on Dhoni otherwise they would lose him due to injury. The head coach said the wicketkeeper-batsman was “okay”.
“But we don’t want to maximize that without losing him. So it’s a delicate balance, but trust me, his best interest is to be with us, his interest [is] Performing well is still a high level for us. To reassure the country – he’s OK,” he added.
