IPL: After the 2023 IPL final, on Friday, for the first time it happened that MS Dhoni (dhonis) was captaining Chennai Super Kings. The condition of the team under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad is still the same to a large extent. After the victory in the first match, the team’s car is not able to get back on track. After the match, the pain of captain MS Dhoni was also clearly visible. You must know what Dhoni said after the match.
What did captain MS Dhoni say after the defeat
After the shameful defeat by eight wickets against KKR, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that there are some matches when we are not able to play according to our own. Dhoni admitted that the team could not put enough runs on the board. He said that when you lose too many wickets early, there is pressure on the team. The team did not get a single big partnership. He told that the team could score only 31 runs in the powerplay i.e. the first six overs. On the failure of the openers, Dhoni said that both of them, i.e. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway, are excellent batsmen.
The comeback was bad for captain MS Dhoni as well
This match, which was a comeback as captain, was quite disappointing for MS Dhoni himself. Even though he wanted to bat first after winning the toss, the team got the same task even after losing the toss. The team was seen struggling even after this. Captain MS Dhoni came to bat at number 9 in this match. Although it may seem late, but Dhoni was on the field in the 16th over, but he was out after playing three balls and scoring only one run. He was out LBW by Sunil Narayan. Dhoni, however, was not happy with the umpire’s decision, he also took DRS, but the third umpire declared him out. Dhoni is as good with DRS behind the wicket as he is with the wicket, perhaps not in front of the wicket.
Now it is almost impossible for the team to reach the top 4. The entire Chennai team could score only 103 runs against KKR. However, the relief was that the entire team was not out and also avoided making its lowest score in IPL. But this is the lowest score of the team in Chennai. On the other hand, KKR won the match by scoring 107 runs in just 10.1 overs. KKR won this match by 8 wickets. Dhoni will remain the captain of the team for the rest of the season, but the chances of the team reaching the top 4 are negligible. It remains to be seen whether the team will be able to return to the winning track.
