Dhoni ke fans pe Rayudu ne uthaye sawal
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ke fans Dhoni ke liye bhagwan jaise hain, yeh toh hum sab jaante hain. Saal der saal, CSK matlab Dhoni, aur Dhoni matlab CSK. Pichle season mein, ghar se bahar bhi, stadium CSK jerseys se bhara rehta tha, sab Dhoni ke naam pe. Jab se Dhoni ne international cricket se sannyas liya hai, fans unhe sirf IPL mein hi dekh paate hain.
Rayudu ne kya kaha?
Lekin, CSK ke purane khiladi Ambati Rayudu ne kaha ki Chennai ke fans pehle Dhoni ke fan hain, aur yeh ‘ajib’ obsession team ke liye achcha nahi hai. Unhone ESPNCricinfo se baat karte hue kaha, “Yeh thoda ajeeb hai, aur mujhe nahi lagta ki yeh game ke liye achcha hai. Agar aap naye ho toh yeh kaafi daunting ho sakta hai. Shor bahut hota hai. Support toh zabardast hai, lekin jaise jaise aap khelte hain, aapko pata chalta hai ki woh pehle Dhoni ke fans hain, phir CSK ke. Yeh saaf dikhta hai, aur theek bhi hai, kyunki team isi tarah bani aur chali hai.” Unhone aage kaha, “Dhoni ko Thala kehna bilkul sahi hai, aur CSK mein woh hi faisle lete hain. Ab yeh ek aise stage pe aa gaya hai jahaan log unke CSK ke liye kiye gaye kaam ke deewane hain.”
Fans Dhoni ko dekhne ke liye kya karte hain?
Rayudu ne yeh bhi bataya ki kaise CSK fans apne hi khiladiyon ke out hone pe khush hote hain taaki Dhoni batting karne aa sakein. Pichle hafte Mumbai Indians ke khilaf match mein bhi aisa hi hua tha. Rayudu ne bataya ki pehle bhi kai khiladiyon ko fans ka yeh behaviour ajeeb laga hai. “Yeh kaafi saalon se ho raha hai, aur kai khiladiyon ne yeh mehsoos kiya hai. Shayad woh khul ke kuch nahi kehte, lekin andar hi andar, kai logon ko yeh lagta hai. Humein bhi Dhoni pasand hain, aur unhe bhi, aur hum sab unhe batting karte dekhna chahte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi jab aap khud batting kar rahe hote hain, toh crowd se aawaz aati hai ki… woh bol rahe hote hain ki out ho jao. Ya phir woh expect kar rahe hote hain ki aap out ho jao,” Rayudu ne kaha.
Iska solution kya hai?
Rayudu ke hisaab se, sirf Dhoni hi is problem ko solve kar sakte hain. Unhone franchise se bhi kaha ki woh us time ke liye taiyari karein jab Dhoni nahi rahenge. “Isko sabse achche se Dhoni hi sambhal sakte hain. Agar woh khud aa kar kahein ki, ‘yeh sab humare players hain, aur meri tarah woh bhi batting kar rahe hain’, ya aisa kuch keh kar crowd ko shant karein, toh players ke liye achcha hoga,” unhone kaha. Unhone aage kaha, “Yeh kaafi challenging hoga, na sirf players ya Chennai ke liye, balki franchise ke liye bhi, kyunki unke liye itni crowd lana, specially weekdays pe – stands full hain, engagement zabardast hai; koi bhi cricketer Dhoni ke paas nahi hai. Unhone franchise mein aur kisi player ko itna bada nahi banaya ki woh crowd ko kheech sake, kyunki sab kuch Dhoni ke ird gird hi ghoomta hai. Yeh unke liye nuksan kar sakta hai branding ya crowd lane ke mamle mein. Toh unhe kuch naya sochna hoga.”
