Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni became only the second Indian player to play 350 T20 matches when he took the field against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2022 match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is the other Indian player to have played more than 350 T20 games.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have so far looked like anything but Indian Premier League's (IPL) defending champions; and to effect a turnaround, new skipper Ravindra Jadeja will seek improvements on multiple fronts against Punjab Kings (PBKS) here on Sunday. CSK's title defense has begun on a disappointing note. After going down to Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament opener, they lost to new entrants Lucknow Super Giants.
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Chennai Super Kings by six wickets while chasing 211 in an IPL 2022 game on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium. During the match, CSK wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni was seen changing the fielding positions as the cameras focussed on him, while newly appointed skipper Ravindra Jadeja was fielding in the outfield. Dhoni gave up captaincy before the start of this season, a move that was seen as an effort on the part of the legendary captain to groom Jadeja as a future leader.
Malinga congratulated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowler Dwayne Bravo for breaking his all-time IPL record and becoming the highest wicket-taker in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said Ayush Badoni is a strong 360-degree player and an asset for white-ball cricket in India, after the youngster displayed his skills with the bat in a six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022on Thursday. Badoni (19 not out in 9 balls), who scored a half-century in the previous game, joined forces with Evin Lewis (55 not out) towards the end to help the Super Giants chase down a mammoth 211-run target.
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has compared the dew during his team's IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants to the Niagara Falls, justifying their move to make Shivam Dube bowl the match-turning 19th over at the expense of spinners. With LSG needing 34 from 12 balls, the duo of Man-of-the-Match Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni smashed Dube for 25 runs, to bring the equation down to nine from the last over at the Brabourne Stadium.
Lucknow Super Giants' skipper KL Rahul said Ayush Badoni is a strong 360-degree player and an asset for white-ball cricket in India, after the youngster displayed his skills with the bat in a six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday. Badoni (19 not out in 9 balls), who scored a half-century in the previous game, joined forces with Evin Lewis (55 not out) towards the end to help the Super Giants chase down a mammoth 211-run target. "Badoni, I'd seen a few videos, when you only get to see the good shots, but the way he's been batting is phenomenal. Strong, 360-degree player, a great find for India and an asset for white-ball cricket," Rahul said at the post-match presentation here.
Shivam Dube will look to quickly forget the solitary over he bowled against Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday. Chennai Super Kings were firmly in control of the match with IPL newbies LSG requiring 34 runs off two overs to emerge victorious. Dube, who hadn't bowled a single ball during the game, was given the responsibility to bowl the 19th over by CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja. It was a massive blunder. Dube's military medium-pace proved easy fodder for the two batters at the crease - Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableFirst, Badoni swept Dube's first ball for a six over square leg. Under pressure, Dube bowled a couple of wides. Lewis (55 not out off 23b; 6x4, 3x6) then smacked two boundaries and a six off the last three balls as LSG got 25 runs in the over and the tables were completely turned. The final rites were done by Badoni in the 20th over with a swivel pull for another six off left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary's bowling. Initially, the chase was propped up by the LSG openers, Quinton de Kock and captain KL Rahul. The pair added 99 runs in 10.1 overs before Rahul (40 off 26b; 2x4, 3x6) was dismissed by Dwaine Pretorius. De Kock (61 off 45b; 9x4) carried on for a while before Pretorius scalped his wicket too. When De Kock got out, a win for LSG seemed improbable but Lewis and Badoni had other ideas.
