Why is Dhoni such a great finisher, because his strike rate is 2.5, his strike rate at times is 4 per ball. That is the real game changing effect in the game of cricket in T-20. It’s a different skill altogether, the skill to clear the ground”, Navjot Singh Sidhu

Speaking at a special ‘Star Sports Press Room’ organised in New York ahead of the Greatest Rivalry between India and Pakistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Navjot Singh Sidhu shares his views on game changers, said, “See, game changers are those who will score 2 runs in a ball. You are talking about strike rates, 1.5, 1.7, but there are some people who are scoring 2.5 runs, three runs per ball. The innings of Romario Shepherd, 10 balls, 30, right. There are some people who in the end will come and score in 10 balls, a 35. Now that is the quality. That 35 in ten balls, if two people score and support someone like Virat Kohli, is a game changer. Make no mistake about it. And I`ve been saying this, you look at the IPL and you look at the T20 format, those who can actually score a 2.5 per ball or above two per ball are the real game changers. There are so many of them. There is Ravindra Jadeja, there is Shivam Dube, and even Axar Patel also scores the runs in the same pace. Why is Dhoni such a great finisher, because his strike rate is 2.5, his strike rate at times is 4 per ball. That is the real game changing effect in the game of cricket in T-20. It’s a different skill altogether, the skill to clear the ground.”
