Handling youngsters at the death overs is a "challenge" and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is looking at the seasoned Dwayne Bravo to help them out. Along with Dhoni, Bravo has been a part of some of CSK's finest wins in the Indian Premier League. "It is a difficult one for the youngsters. But they are working hard. Bravo is one of the specialists. Under him, the bowlers will gain confidence. It's a team game. The coach, the bowling coach and the senior players guide them," Dhoni said after his team's eight-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday.
Dhoni is impressed by Shivam Dube's footwork against the spinners but said he needs to work on his batting against pacers.
Dube blazed away to a 27-ball 52 in the team's match against RCB. Having posted an imposing 226 for six, CSK emerged victorious by eights runs.
