Strange things often happen in cricket, just as in life. One such thing happened in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday. Batting first, hosts Delhi Capitals notched a fighting 162/8 in 20 overs with their skipper David Warner (37) top-scoring. However, Warner got lucky once on the first legal ball of the match itself after GT had opted to bowl. A delivery from Shami brushed Warner's off-stump, but the bails did not light up or move as the Australian got a reprieve. GT wicketkeeper Wriddhiman was left stunned.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won their first home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, beating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 12 runs. But, the margin of victory should've been bigger as CSK bowers gave away 13 wides and 3 no-balls during the match. The extras led to an outburst from skipper MS Dhoni in the post-match presentation ceremony where he warned the players to improve or 'play under a new captain'. Tushar Deshpande, who was the main culprit when it comes to the no-ball issues, admitted that bowling no-balls is a crime in T20 cricket.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) outscored Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 12 runs in their first home match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. However, things were far from perfect for the MS Dhoni-led franchise, with pacer Tushar Deshpande leaking no-balls and wides, much to the disappointment of the skipper. However, after CSK sealed the win by 12 runs, Dhoni had a chat with Deshpande over the issue, where he could be seen lending him some tips over preventing no-balls.

MS Dhoni and Chennai is one love story that is unprecedented in Indian cricket. The Ranchi-born legend is worshipped like a superstar in Chennai, courtesy his performance for IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings . So, when Dhoni came to bat for CSK against Lucknow Super Giants in the side's first home match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Monday, the crowd went wild. That it was Dhoni's and CSK's first match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after over three years, made the occasion even more special. To top it all, Dhoni arrived to bat in the 20th over and hit a huge six off the first ball that he faced against Mark Wood. He hit a six off the next ball he faced too. With it, Dhoni became the seventh player in IPL to complete 5,000 runs. Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and AB de Villiers are the other members of the elite club.
