"Always MS Dhoni's First Pick..": AB de Villiers Names Allrounder As CSK's Go-to Man For Wickets. It's Not Ravindra Jadeja
All-rounder Moeen Ali (4-0-26-4) did the star turn as Chennai Super Kings kept Lucknow Super Giants at bay in a high-scoring match of the 2023 IPL at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday night. Chasing a target of 218, LSG fell short by a mere 12 runs as they finished proceedings on 205/7. Ali was well supported by Mitchell Santner who took 1/21 in 4 overs. CSK skipper MS Dhoni crossed the 5,000-run mark in the IPL with two magnificently struck sixes. Earlier, the hosts had put up 217/7 thanks mainly to the exploits of opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who smashed 57 (31b, 3x4, 4x6), his second half-century in two games. Spinner Ravi Bishnoi emerged the best bowler for LSG returning with figures of 3/28.
