Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming opened up on MS Dhoni's fitness and said the team management is very cautious about the former skipper's fitness and knows what he can give to the team. The Chennai-based franchise will take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their upcoming match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni surprised everyone as he came out to bat at the No. 9 spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Punjab Kings Seeing Shardul Thakur walk out to bat ahead of Dhoni in the match, many fans and experts were left baffled. Former India cricketers like Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh also launched a stern attack at the wicket-keeper batter over the decision, suggesting he shouldn't even be a part of the team if he wants to bat so low in the order. But, it has now been reported that the reason behind Dhoni's delayed arrival is down to an injury.
After dismissing former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni for a golden duck in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday, Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowler Harshal Patel said he has too much respect for the 42-year-old legend and hence did not celebrate his wicket. Harshal picked up three wickets and gave 24 runs in his four-over spell at an economy rate of 6.00. He removed Dhoni for a golden duck in the fifth ball of the 19th over. While speaking after the first inning, Harshal commented on the pitch at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium and said the wicket was dry. The PBKS bowler added that during his first over the ball was reversing.
Following his side's 28-run loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Sam Curran said that the pitch turned out to be slower, rather than a quick, bouncy surface that they expected. Fiery spells from Ravindra Jadeja, Tushar Deshpande and Simarjeet Singh triggered a massive batting collapse and helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 28 runs at Dharamsala on Sunday. "I thought we bowled really well as a group. Rahul Chahar bowled really well, and the way Harshal Patel finished off. We were happy as a group at the halfway stage but unfortunately, it was not meant to be. We thought it (the pitch) was going to be slightly quicker, and have more bounce," said Curran during the post-match presentation.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) players arrived in Dharamsala on Friday ahead of their match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday. Both teams also met earlier this week with PBKS beating CSK by 7 wickets at the MA Chidamabaram Stadium in Chennai. Ahead of the return leg on Sunday, CSK squad, led by former captain MS Dhoni, touched down in Dharamsala. In a viral video, Dhoni's new look caught the attention of the fans. In the video, he was seen donning a Half-Up hairstyle and a black aviator shades.
MELBOURNE: The mountain of runs being scored in the Indian Premier League (IPL) shows Twenty20 cricket is changing and bowlers must move with the times or be left behind, New Zealand paceman Tim Southee said.
MS Dhoni faced a bit of criticism after he denied Daryl Mitchell a single during the final over of Chennai Super Kings' innings during the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. On the third ball of the final over, Dhoni played the ball towards extra cover and Mitchell quickly went for a run. However, Dhoni was not interested and Mitchell ended up 'completing' two runs by the time the fielder picked the ball up and threw it back. While Dhoni did hit a mammoth six just two balls later, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra was not happy with Dhoni not giving an explosive batter like Mitchell the strike.
Chennai Super Kings' Thala enthralled fans with his cameo in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Punjab Kings. Dhoni hit a four and a six in his 11-ball stay at the crease before getting run out. While Dhoni's short stay at the crease at the end of the innings enthralled fans, it was his act right at the beginning of his arrival that irked many, including former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who urged the former CSK skipper to not do that in a team game.
