MS Dhoni IPL 2024 CSK : Chennai Super Kings has suffered its first defeat in this season of the Indian Premier League. The team had won its first two matches and after that the team had reached number one in the points table, but after one defeat the team has now slipped to the second position. CSK could have won the match played against Delhi Capitals, but a mistake by Ruturaj Gaikwad cost the team dearly.
Gaikwad is captaining CSK in IPL for the first time
Just a day before the start of this year’s IPL, CSK announced that Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the new captain of Chennai Super Kings. Since then, it is continuously being seen how Ruturaj Gaikwad captains his team. Although MS Dhoni is always present to help him, but the final decision has to be taken by Gaikwad. Meanwhile, when CSK won the first two matches under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, he was praised a lot. Former captain MS Dhoni did not even come to bat in the first two matches. In the third match, he came out to bat and scored a lot of runs, but still the team fell 20 runs short of victory.
Dhoni came to bat at number eight
Meanwhile, the question now is why Dhoni is coming to bat at number eight. Although earlier also it was said that due to the impact player rule, Dhoni will now bat at number eight, but if the batting order is changed as per the need, then what is the problem in it. When Dhoni came to bat in the 17th over, the team’s score was 120 runs for six wickets, that is, a lot of runs were still needed to win, but there were not many overs left. Dhoni also hit a four on the first ball as soon as he came. After this he rained fours and sixes, but still the balls remained short. If Dhoni had come here at number 6 or seven, this target might have been achieved.
Dhoni scored 37 runs on 16 balls
Dhoni played a brilliant innings of 37 runs on 16 balls in this match. He hit four fours and 3 sixes. The team fell only 20 runs short of the target. That means, if Dhoni had got four to five more balls to play, then who knows, CSK would have been successful in winning this match. Well, till now the match is over and CSK has lost it, but from now on CSK management will definitely have to think about this, so that they do not lose in the remaining matches while winning them. Because each match in IPL is very important, on the basis of that the top 4 teams go ahead.
