New Delhi. The 29th match of IPL 2024 was played between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians (CSK vs MI). Chennai registered a spectacular victory in this match. Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century for his team but could not lead the team to victory. Coming in the last over, MS Dhoni scored runs for Chennai at a strike rate of 500 and scored 20 runs in just 4 balls in Hardik Pandya’s over. Gavaskar is not happy with Pandya’s captaincy and bowling.
Sunil Gavaskar said, “After a long time I have seen such bad bowling. After a really long time. Hardik knows that he has such bowling on which Dhoni will hit sixes. A six is fine. Next time again a length ball when you know this batsman is looking for a length ball to hit. The third ball was again a length ball. A full toss on the leg side and he looks for it and Dhoni hits a six. It was absolutely normal bowling. Really normal captaincy.”
Rohit hits second century for MI, only 5 players could score century for Mumbai, 4 players including Sachin are in the list
Against Mumbai Indians, former Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored 20 runs with three consecutive sixes and 2 runs in 4 balls. The amazing thing is that Mumbai scored 186 runs for 6 wickets and Chennai won the match by 20 runs. If Mahendra Singh Dhoni had not scored these 20 runs, perhaps the result would have been different. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dubey took Chennai Super Kings team past 180 runs but the score of 200 was crossed due to the sixes of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
When former captain MS Dhoni stepped on the field after the fall of the third wicket, only 4 balls were left in the innings. Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya had the ball in his hands and Dhoni hit three consecutive sixes on three balls and then took 2 runs on the last ball. Mumbai team could not register victory in this match. Rohit Sharma’s century did not work for MI.
