Suresh Raina Aids Limping MS Dhoni After CSK’s Triumph Over Mumbai Indians

Former Indian batsman Suresh Raina displayed his camaraderie with MS Dhoni after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured a 20-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Raina was seen assisting Dhoni back to the team bus as the latter appeared to be limping.

Dhoni, who is on the verge of surpassing AB de Villiers as the sixth-highest run-scorer in IPL history, has amassed 5121 runs in 255 matches. He needs just 40 more runs to achieve this milestone.

In a video posted by CSK, Raina can be seen lending a helping hand to Dhoni as he boards the team bus after the match. The defending champions emerged victorious by 20 runs in the 29th fixture of the IPL 2024.

Raina, who is fifth on the list with 5528 runs in 205 IPL matches, has played a crucial role in CSK’s success over the years. He has scored runs at an average of 32.51 and at a strike rate of 136.73 with the best score of 100*.

In the match against MI, Rohit Sharma’s valiant second IPL century went in vain as a four-wicket haul from Matheesha Pathirana restricted MI to 186/6 in their 20 overs. CSK, in response, posted a strong 206/4 thanks to big half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube. Dhoni’s hat-trick of sixes in the final over sealed the victory for CSK.

With this win, CSK moved to third place in the standings with four wins and two losses, while MI remained in eighth place with two wins and four losses.

CSK Triumphs in IPL 'El Clasico,' MI Denied Revenge Opportunity

CSK Triumphs in IPL ‘El Clasico,’ MI Denied Revenge Opportunity

By April 15, 2024 0

The highly anticipated “El Clasico” of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday lived up to its billing, with CSK emerging victorious in a thrilling encounter.

The match witnessed exceptional performances from both sides. Youngsters like Mukesh Choudhary and Tilak Varma shone for CSK, while Rohit Sharma’s century for MI was a testament to his class. However, it was MS Dhoni’s blistering 20 runs off just four balls that sealed the deal for CSK.

Despite their loss, MI still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. However, they will not have the opportunity to avenge their defeat against CSK in the league stage of IPL 2024. This is because the teams have been placed in different groups.

MI is in Group A alongside Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Delhi Capitals. CSK, on the other hand, is in Group B with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

According to the IPL 2024 format, teams within the same group face each other twice in home and away matches. Additionally, they play four matches against teams from the other group, either at home or away. Against one of the five teams, they play both at home and away.

The draw for IPL 2024 has resulted in MI facing CSK only once in the league stage. Therefore, it is impossible for MI to avenge their Sunday loss during the league stage.

However, if both teams qualify for the playoffs and face off again, it will provide MI with an opportunity to seek redemption.

Rachin Ravindra Impresses with Bat and Field, Dhoni Intervenes with Hilarious Reply

Rachin Ravindra Impresses with Bat and Field, Dhoni Intervenes with Hilarious Reply

By March 28, 2024 0

Rachin Ravindra, the young Kiwi batter, has made an immediate impact in the IPL 2024, showcasing his exceptional batting and fielding skills for the Chennai Super Kings. In his first two matches, Ravindra has impressed with back-to-back impressive knocks, including a whirlwind 46 off just 20 balls against the Gujarat Titans.

However, in the field, Ravindra had a forgettable moment when he dropped a crucial catch of Sai Sudharsan in the 15th over during Gujarat’s run chase. During a promotional event, when asked about the incident, Ravindra revealed that he had looked at MS Dhoni, the former CSK captain, for guidance.

Dhoni, known for his calm and composed demeanor, intervened with a hilarious reply, saying, “Well, there’s a new captain!” Dhoni explained that he refrains from reacting to such incidents, especially when the player is young and inexperienced. He also drew parallels between the new skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and himself, saying that Gaikwad is quite similar in his approach.

“It (muscle memory) is there. But, I am not somebody who reacts a lot, especially when somebody is playing his first game or second game. I think Rutu (Ruturaj) is quite the same. But it was fun to watch him (Rachin) move all round the ground,” Dhoni added.

Ravindra, who has quickly become a fan favorite among CSK supporters, has enthralled audiences with his audacious stroke-play. While he has narrowly missed out on a half-century in both matches, Dhoni, the team’s ‘spiritual skipper,’ would be pleased with Ravindra’s performances, knowing that his choice was well-founded.

Dhoni’s decision to pass on the Chennai captaincy to Gaikwad ahead of the IPL 2024 surprised many fans, but it appears that the transition has been smooth. Gaikwad, like Dhoni, is a calm and composed leader who is not prone to emotional outbursts.

Ravindra’s impressive start to the IPL 2024 is a testament to his talent and potential. With his ability to contribute both with the bat and in the field, he is a valuable asset to the Chennai Super Kings. As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see how Ravindra continues to develop and contribute to CSK’s success.

After winning the toss, Gujarat Titans elected to bowl first. The Hardik Pandya-led side restricted the home team to a below-par score of 172/7 in their quota of 20 overs. Mohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami were the picks for the Ahmedabad-based franchisee as both the quicks picked two wickets apiece.

Gujarat Titans who are unbeatable while chasing had a very poor start. The 2022 IPL champions lost two wickets for just 40 runs within the powerplay. The Gujarat-based franchisee lost wickets at regular intervals as they couldn’t pace their innings. Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan were the only players who scored more than 30 runs.

This was Gujarat Titans’ only fourth defeat while chasing. The Titans have lost twice against Mumbai Indians, once against Delhi Capitals, and now once against Chennai Super Kings.

With the win, Chennai Super Kings have reached their 10th IPL final. This is the most number of finals played by any IPL team. The second position is occupied by 5-time IPL champ Mumbai Indians.

Gujarat Titans will now be playing Qualifier II at their home ground Ahmedabad. The team will face the winner of the Eliminator between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians to be played at the Chepauk today.
