A college student has been arrested for criminal trespassing and illegal entry after invading the field to meet legendary cricketer MS Dhoni during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat's Ahmedabad, police said on Saturday. The incident occurred during a match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the stadium on Friday.
Chennai Super Kings were dealt a massive blow in the race for IPL 2024 playoffs after a massive 35-run defeat against Gujarat Titans on Friday. CSK remain fourth in the IPL 2024 points table with 12 points from 12 matches and the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side will now have to win their final two matches and depend on other teams' results to potentially find a spot in the Top 4. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans kept their dreams alive as they now have 10 points from 12 matches. While the chances are quite slim, they can end up qualifying for the playoffs with 14 points if other results go their way.
Skipper Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan smashed brilliant hundreds in a record-equalling double hundred plus opening stand to power Gujarat Titans to a comfortable 35-run win over Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match on Friday. Gujarat with this win stay alive in theory for a place in play-offs. Sudharsan struck 103 off 51 balls with five fours and seven sixes while Gill scored season's first ton -- a sublime 104 off 55 balls with half a dozen sixes to help GT post a daunting 231 for 3 after being sent into bat. The two batters put on 210 runs for the first wicket and equalled the record set by Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul in 2022.
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.
