<p class="title rtejustify">Chennai Super Kings batsman Faf Du Plessis has heaped praise on skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his ability to hit any bowler and said such a quality can make life difficult for any rival captain.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">Australian Shane Watson played blistering 78 while Dhoni hit a quick-fire unbeaten 51 to guide CSK to a 13-run victory over bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils in an IPL game here last night.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">In the last two games against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Daredevils, Dhoni, with his power hitting, has reminded his critics that he is not yet done.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">“He (Dhoni) is in really good form at the moment, so it's extremely tough to bowl to him when he is in a form like that. He has got such a big arch and if you want to bowl wide he can still hit you to the leg sid," Du Plessis said at the post-match press conference.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">“He has got a lot of options, so it makes life difficult for a bowler and a captain because he can hit any ball to wherever he wants to. That kind of form is obviously very important to us,” he added.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">Du Plessis also praised young Indian batsman Ambati Rayadu for his “flexibility”.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">Rayadu has delivered for CSK when asked to open and even he was required to bat at the number four position.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">“Rayadu's flexibility has really impressed me. I have really enjoyed watching him bat in this IPL. The ability to come in and score boundaries from the first ball is a very difficult skill. That ability to come at four and five and score a boundary straight-away, not a lot of people can do that," Du Plessis said.</p>.<p class="bodytext rtejustify">“With Suresh (Raina) at three and (Rayadu) at four, if we get off to a solid start, the two can just come in and play their natural game which ca be dangerous for the opposition. So we are fortunate that we have got a lot of options in the batting unit,” the South African skipper maintained. </p>
