MS Dhoni downplayed his return as Chennai Super Kings captain and the team's comfortable Indian Premier League victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday as a mere "coincidence".
Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad doesn't believe in anything like being in form, saying that one has to start every game from zero. Gaikwad, who struggled throughout CSK's first eight games of this Indian Premier League (IPL) season, was at his best on Sunday as he powered six sixes and as many fours before missing out on a well-deserved century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Gaikwad scored 99 off 57 balls and stitched a 182-run partnership with Devon Conway (85 not out), which is now CSK's highest opening stand in IPL history.
Chennai Super Kings as MS Dhoni led them to a 13- run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the return leg of their IPL match. CSK and Ruturaj Gaikwad felt quite at home at the MCA Stadium in Pune and the Pune lad’s blistering 99 (57b, 4x6, 6x6) on Sunday night provided the answers to many of Chennai struggles this season.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was in sensational form in Chennai Super Kings' win against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday at the MCA Stadium in Pune and looked set for his second Indian Premier League (IPL) century. But, in heartbreak for the 25-year-old, he fell short of the landmark by just one run. Gaikwad tried to cut T Natarajan in the 18th over, but couldn't keep it down and was caught at backward point. Gaikwad looked devastated at missing out on the century, standing at the crease in disbelief and hanging his head down and seemingly wiping his eyes through his helmet.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 46, winning by 13 runs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. A four-wicket haul by Mukesh Choudhary helped CSK restrict SRH to 189 for six in 20 overs, in their chase of 203 runs. Initially, CSK posted 202 for two in 20 overs with Ruturaj Gaikwad smacking 99 runs off 57 balls. Meanwhile, Devon Conway played an unbeaten knock of 85 runs off 55 balls. Also, T Natarajan took two wickets for SRH.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Kane Williamson said his team showed a lot of fight and added that the 'men in orange' need to stay connected for the rest of tournament. CSK were back to winning ways in this Indian Premier League (IPL) season after registering a 13-run victory against SRH at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Chennai were once again led by MS Dhoni after the side's new skipper Ravindra Jadeja, appointed for the job ahead of the start of the ongoing edition, stepped down from the role because of the team's poor show under his leadership.
Ravindra Jadeja and affected the all-rounder's mind, resulting in his below-par outing in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) colours in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Jadeja was anointed as CSK skipper for the ongoing season after Dhoni decided to step aside, but the all-rounder failed to cope with the pressure and eventually gave up the job, forcing the franchise to fall back on their most trusted lieutenant. Back at the helm of affairs, Dhoni produced instant results as CSK notched up a 13-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep themselves afloat in the tournament.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway's effortless six-hitting exhibition was well complemented by a four-wicket haul from Mukesh Choudhary as Chennai Super Kings notched up a 13-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match here on Sunday. Gaikwad (99 off 57 balls) and Conway (85 not out off 55) put SRH's attack to the sword, notching up a scintillating 182-run partnership, the highest opening stand of the season, as CSK posted an imposing 202 for two after being invited to bat.
