“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

DC vs CSK, IPL 2024

In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024), the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI.

Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner.

Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers were dismissed in the 10th and 11th overs and CSK made a small comeback in the match.

CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana further jolted Delhi Capitals by removing Mitchell Marsh and Tristan Stubbs with searing yorkers in the 15th over.

Although DC were losing wickets at regular intervals, skipper Rishabh Pant stood tall at one end and accelerated exceptionally well to hit a terrific fifty. He scored 51 runs off 32 balls, with 4 fours and 3 sixes, and steered Delhi Capitals to a great total of 191/5 on the board.

For Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Matheesha Pathirana was the top performer with the ball as he picked up 3 wickets. He was well supported by other bowlers as Mustafizur Rahman and Ravindra Jadeja bagged one wicket each.

Chasing the target, CSK were off to a horrible start. The in-form openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra failed to provide their team with a good start and were back in the dugout inside 3 overs. Gaikwad registered 1 while Ravindra scored 2 runs.

After losing two early wickets, Ajinkya Rahane showcased a batting masterclass and stitched together a crucial 68 runs with Daryl Mitchell. Rahane fell 5 runs short of his fifty and Mitchell was dismissed for 34.

Impact player Shivam Dube entered the field with high expectations, but he wasn’t able to replicate his heroics from previous matches.

In the end, vintage MS Dhoni showed why he is the greatest of all time when it comes to batting in the end overs. He started off his innings with a four and then hit 3 more fours and 3 exceptional sixes during his stay in the middle. MS Dhoni smashed a 16-ball 37 and Ravindra Jadeja scored 21 runs off 17 balls, but CSK were restricted to 171/6. DC won the match by 20 runs to hand CSK their first loss of the season.

Here’s How Fans On X Reacted After DC vs CSK IPL 2024 Clash:

DC vs CSK Scorecard, IPL 2024, Match 13 Highlights: Mukesh Kumar’s ice-cold nerves steal the game for Delhi Capitals despite MS Dhoni’s carnage

DC vs CSK, IPL 2024 (1)

The match 13th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 took place between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday (31st March). The match between the two teams took place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. 

Delhi Capitals finally registered a win in the IPL 2024 after facing two back-to-back losses in their first two games. They defeated Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs and bagged important two points under their belt at their new home ground in Visakhapatnam. 

DC vs CSK IPL 2024 Match 13 – Delhi Capitals innings: David Warner, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw star with bat for Delhi 

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Their opening batters in Prithvi Shaw and David Warner made sure that their decision proved to be the right one as they came out all guns blazing. 

David Warner (52) and Prithvi Shaw (43) batted tremendously well at the start and added 93 runs for the opening partnership. They put Chennai Super Kings bowlers under immense pressure and hardly put a foot wrong in their innings till the time they were batting at the crease. 

Rishabh Pant, who came to bat at No.3, looked scratchy at the top. Whereas Mitchell Marsh (18) perished after a valiant start with the bat. Matheesha Pathirana then brought Chennai Super Kings back in the game as he picked two quick wickets to leave Delhi in totters. 

It was then that Rishabh Pant found his mojo back and made sure that they took his team to the big total. The keeper-batter gave glimpses of his old best as he took Chennai Super Kings bowlers to the cleaners and smashed sixes and fours all over the park in Visakhapatnam. 

He scored 51 runs and his innings turned out to be crucial for the team. Delhi Capitals ended with a total of 191 runs on the board. For Chennai Super Kings, Matheesha Pathirana picked three wickets whereas Mustafizur Rahman and Ravindra Jadeja bagged one scalp each. 

DC vs CSK IPL 2024 Match 13 – Chennai Super Kings innings: Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni’s cameo goes in vain as CSK fail to chase the target 

Chennai Super Kings didn’t have a great start to his innings as skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (1) and Rachin Ravindra (2) looked clueless against the new ball bowling of Khaleel Ahmed. The pacer removed both the openers to take his team off the flyer. 

After that, Ajinkya Rahane (45) kept his team in the hunt and played some crisp shots in his innings. Daryl Mitchell (34) supported him well as the duo added 68 runs together. But as they got out, things looked difficult for Chennai Super Kings in the game. 

Shivman Dube (18) and Sameer Rizvi struggled to get going as Chennai Super Kings was left tottering at 120/6. MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja then fought tooth and nail and made sure that they took their team close to the target of 192 runs. 

MS Dhoni scored 37 whereas Jadeja ended 21 with Chennai failing to chase the target. They ended with 171/6 and lost the game by 20 runs to suffer their first loss of the season.

DC vs CSK IPL 2024 Match 13- Brief Scores 

DC: 191-5  (David Warner 52; Matheesha Pathirana 3/30)

Watch: Ishant Sharma tries to scare Ravindra Jadeja as India stars engage in funny banter

Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja engaged in banter

India teammates Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja were involved in a fun moment with each other during the game between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday (March 31).

The incident took place in the 15th over of DC innings when Ishant Sharma was bowling to Ravindra Jadeja. The third ball of the over was a no-ball as Ishant Sharma had overstepped while bowling to Shivam Dube. With Dube taking a single on the no-ball, Ravindra Jadeja was on strike for the free hit.

The veteran pacer bowled a brilliant yorker clocked at 145kph and Ravindra Jadeja had no answer for it. He could only squeeze it down the pitch to the bowler. Ishant Sharma picked up the ball before pretending to throw it towards Ravindra Jadeja.

However, Jadeja just turned back and did not say anything before Ishant Sharma walked towards him and said something with a smile on his face. Jadeja broke into laughter as well before the DC pacer turned back and started walking towards the bowling mark.

Watch the banter between Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja:

Talking about the game, CSK were on 129 for 6 in the 17th over at the time of writing this report. The defending champions are chasing 192 runs for their third straight win of the season. With Jadeja and MS Dhoni in the middle, CSK would be hoping that their star players guide them to a win and extend their winning start to IPL 2024.

Earlier in the game, half-centuries from David Warner and Rishabh Pant helped DC post 191 for 5 in 20 overs. Warner and Prithvi Shaw laid the foundation for the big total by adding 93 runs for the opening stand before departing for 52 and 43 respectively in quick succession.

In the second half of the innings, Pant led the charge with the bat, scoring 51 to help his side post the big total. DC are eyeing their first win of the season after losing the first two games.

Watch: Lucknow echoes with ‘Pandya, Pandya’ chants amid MI captaincy saga, but there’s a twist

Lucknow echoes with Pandya, Pandya chants amid MI captaincy saga, but there's a twist

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Krunal Pandya was greeted exceptionally by the crowd during the ongoing 11th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The game between the two teams took place at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. 

Krunal Pandya was one of the shining lights for Lucknow Super Giants in the game against Punjab Kings. The all-rounder produced a magnificent effort with the bat and made sure that he gave Lucknow fans everything to cheer about at the Ekana Stadium. 

Krunal Pandya came to bat when Lucknow was tumbling at 146/5 and it seemed that they won’t be able to finish the innings on high. But the all-rounder had different plans as he made sure that oozes his class with the bat and takes his team to the big total. 

While his brother Hardik Pandya has been getting boos all around, Krunal Pandya made sure that he makes Lucknow fans chant Pandya, Pandya. The all-rounder’s blistering cameo with the bat lifted the crowd up and made them support Krunal for his heroics. 

Here’s the video:

Krunal Pandya played a magnificent innings of unbeaten 43 runs off 22 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 145 and also slammed four boundaries and two sixes in his innings. Based on his rollicking effort with the bat, Lucknow Super Giants posted a total of 199 runs on the board in 20 overs. 

Apart from him, Quinton de Kock at the top played a brilliant inning and slammed 54 runs. Stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran also played a vital innings of 42 runs as Lucknow Super Giants posted a total of close to 200 runs at the Ekana Stadium.

I like to play situations, I am prepared that way – Krunal Pandya after his innings 

Krunal Pandya opened up about his innings against the Punjab Kings. He stated that he likes to play the situation and is prepared well to bat in such conditions. He expressed his dedication to the team, saying that he wants to contribute to his team. 

Krunal Pandya believes that they have posted a good total on the board. But he is aware of the fact that they need to bowl well as the pitch in Lucknow is completely different from what it was last year. Speaking to broadcasters during mid-innings, he explained: 

“I like to play situations, I am prepared that way, I am quite flexible, can bat anywhere from number 3 to number 7. Just want to go out there and contribute. I like to prepare, and take cricket as an exam. Like to prepare, but the result is not in my hand. 

“199 is a good total, if we bowl smartly we can defend this. The surface has changed, much better than last year. Need to adapt to the conditions. Need to bowl accordingly and see how it goes.” 

Krunal Pandya now would be keen to make an impact with the ball in the game against Punjab Kings. He would want to take some wickets and take his team to win.

However, he bounced back strong in the second match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and slammed a match-winning half-century.

To be honest, it got better as the game went on, one end in particular, the Pavilion end and credit to Narine, the pressure was off and we had to go and finish the formalities. It was very important to capitalise on the platform laid, the left-arm spinner was bowling and it was my duty to go after the bowling.”

He also lauded RCB pacer Vijaykumar Vyshak, who bowled sensationally and gave away just 23 runs in his 4-over quota while picking up one wicket. He said:

KKR camp divided in 2 groups ahead of RCB clash? Andre Russell provides insight about the dressing room atmosphere under Chandrakant Pandit

Andre Russell and KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell refuted David Wiese’s criticisms of head coach Chandrakant Pandit’s style. Andre Russell emphasized his positive working relationship with Chandrakant Pandit over the past year in the Indian Premier League.

David Wiese expressed concerns about Pandit’s coaching style, describing it as ‘militant’. He emphasized Pandit’s strict and disciplined approach, suggesting that international players might find it challenging to adapt to constant instructions on behavior and attire.

David Wiese attacked Pandit’c coaching style

“He (Pandit) is known in India as a very militant type of coach. He is very strict, very disciplinarian and that type of stuff,” Wiese had said on the podcast ‘Hitman for Hire: A Year in the Life of a Franchise Cricketer’ recently.

“Sometimes in franchise cricket, when you have overseas guys, who’ve played all over the world, they don’t need anyone coming and telling them how they need to behave, what they need to wear and what they need to do the whole time. So, that was tough.”

In 2023, the Knight Riders appointed Pandit as head coach, succeeding Brendon McCullum, due to his impressive track record in domestic cricket. Pandit guided Madhya Pradesh to a Ranji Trophy triumph and led Vidarbha to consecutive titles in 2018 and 2019.

However, the two-time IPL champions faced a challenging 2023 season, finishing seventh in the standings with 12 points. Wiese had limited opportunities, featuring in only three matches where he scored 21 runs at a strike rate of 190.91 and failed to pick up a wicket.

The Knight Riders demonstrated confidence in Chandrakant Pandit despite a lackluster performance in the 2023 season. The team management retained Pandit as coach for the 2024 season. They appointed former captain Gautam Gambhir as the team’s mentor.

Chandrakant Pandit Made Things A Lot Easier For Us – Andre Russell

During the pre-match press conference, Andre Russell expressed his support for Chandrakant Pandit. Russell emphasized the positive rapport they’ve developed since last year. He highlighted the importance of trust in their coach’s philosophy.

“Working with him from last year, we got to know the type of person he is and that made things a lot easier for us,” Russell said.

“When you work with a coach in the first year, you have to make sure you have to trust their philosophy…we have to do certain things as professionals. It’s been going good,” he added.

Last Saturday, Andre Russell propelled the Kolkata Knight Riders to a thrilling four-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens. The Kolkata-based franchise made a strong start to their campaign in the ongoing marquee tournament.

KKR set a formidable total of 208 for seven after batting first and successfully defended it, limiting SRH to 204 runs. Russell’s explosive innings of 64 runs off 25 balls, including three boundaries and seven sixes, earned him the title of Player of the Match.

The Shreyas Iyer-led side will aim to secure the first away win of the season. Their upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is scheduled for Friday, March 29, at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Watch: Tilak Varma brings out Suryakumar Yadav’s famous celebration to celebrate half-century against SRH

Tilak Varma Suryakumar Yadav-esque celebration

Tilak Varma, on Wednesday (March 27), scored a brilliant fifty during the game between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Chasing an improbable target of 278 runs, Mumbai Indians were off to a good start. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma fired on all cylinders and brought up the fifty for their team in just the third over. They added 56 runs in just 20 balls before Shahbaz Ahmed dismissed Kishan. The wicketkeeper-batsman departed after scoring 34 runs off just 13 balls.

10 runs later, Rohit Sharma was dismissed as well. The former MI skipper scored 26 runs with the help of three sixes before being dismissed by Pat Cummins. With both the openers departing in quick succession, MI needed someone to take charge of the innings and Tilak Varma rose to the occasion.

The left-handed batsman continued MI’s fast start as he scored a 24-ball fifty. He reached his fifty in the 11th over by hitting Jaydev Unadkat for a four.

And Tilak Varma brought out Suryakumar Yadav’s famous ‘I am here’  celebration to celebrate his fifty. While the celebration is usually associated with football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and is popularly called ‘calma’, Suryakumar celebrated his match-winning knock against RCB in 2020 with the same celebration.

Watch Tilak Varma’s celebration:

Tilak Varma eventually departed after scoring 64 runs. His knock came off 34 balls and was studded with two fours and six sixes. At the time of writing this report, MI were on 4187 for 4 in the 16th over with Hardik Pandya and Tim David in the middle.

Earlier in the game, whirlwind knocks from Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen powered SRH to a mammoth total of 277 for 3 which is now the highest total in IPL. The record was previously held by RCB for scoring 263/5 against now-defunct Pune Warriors India in 2013. Head scored an 18-ball fifty while Sharma and Klaasen completed their fifties in 16 and 23 balls respectively.

The 7th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 was the host of the battle between Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Tuesday, March 26.

Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl first in the match. They fielded an unchanged line-up while CSK made one change by bringing in Matheesha Pathirana for Maheesh Theekshana.

The decision to bowl first didn’t prove fruitful for the Shubman Gill & Co. as the CSK openers Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad took the bowlers to the cleaners. Ravindra, especially, came out all guns blazing and smashed runs at a colossal strike rate. He played some of the class shots and put pressure on the GT bowlers.

As the Kiwi batter was looking unstoppable, Shubman Gill handed the ball to his premier bowler Rashid Khan and the latter managed to dismiss Ravindra as the home team finished the powerplay at 69/1.

Rachin Ravindra smashed 46 runs off 20 balls, including 6 fours and 3 sixes, and was involved in a stunning 62-run partnership with his skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Following the dismissal of Ravindra, CSK’s innings slowed down a bit as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane were not able to play aggressively. After 10 overs the score of the hosts was 104/1.

Gaikwad fell short of his half-century as he scored 46 runs off 36 balls while Rahane was back in the hut after registering a run-a-ball 12. Once the duo were back in the hut, Chennai Super Kings’ innings got back on track, thanks to Shivam Dube’s blitzkrieg.

The tall left-handed batter started off his innings with the six and carried out the same momentum throughout his innings. He finished his innings at the score of 51 runs off 23 balls and his knock was studded with 2 fours and 5 sixes. Daryl Mitchell chipped in with 20-ball 24, Ravindra Jadeja scored 7 and Sameer Rizvi in his debut innings smoked 14 runs off 6 balls to power CSK to a total of 206/6.

Chasing the target in the match, Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha added 28 runs, before the former was cleaned up by Deepak Chahar. Saha and Sai Sudharsan were not impressive with the bat either as they scored just 21 and 37 runs respectively.

Vijay Shankar, who was a revelation for GT in the last season, scored 12 runs off 12 balls while power-hitter David Miller slammed 21 runs off 16 balls. The lower-order batters of GT just couldn’t get going and they lost wickets at regular intervals.

In the end, the Shubman Gill & Co. were restricted to 143/8 in their 20 overs. For CSK, Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tushar Deshpande picked up two wickets each. Notably, CSK hammered GT by 63 runs and this was the biggest defeat of the Titans in IPL history as before today they never lost any match by 30-plus runs.
