IPL 2023: MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana Shine As Chennai Super Kings Beat Delhi Capitals By 27 Runs | Cricket News

[ad_1] Mahendra Singh Dhoni punished Khaleel Ahmed and then marshalled his bowling resources to perfection as Chennai Super Kings comprehensively beat Delhi Capitals by 27 runs to take a giant stride towards IPL play-off on Wednesday. The talismanic skipper's couple of monstrous sixes in his 9-ball-20 did help CSK get to 167 for 8, which was at least 20 runs above-par on a tacky Chepauk track. The total was just what Dhoni needed to marshall his bowlers as Delhi Capitals were never in hunt after their batting mainstays David Warner (0), Phil Salt (17) and Mitch Marsh (5) were out by the start of the fourth over.In the end, DC managed only 140 for 8 and their struggles were real as not even 10 fours were hit in the entire innings. The DC batters managed only seven boundaries and four over...

“Should Not Play Red-Ball Cricket”: MS Dhoni’s Surprising Advice To CSK Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni on Saturday had a word of advice for young Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana: don't even get close to red-ball cricket. Referred to as Baby Malinga, as he has modelled his bowling action on the Lankan great, the 20-year pacer with sling arm action won the man of the match award after returning excellent figures of 3/15 in CSK's six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians here. Dhoni kept the bowler's sling action, which could be prone to injuries, in mind as he cautioned Pathirana and also the Sri Lankan cricket administrators against playing him in all formats of the game."People who don't have any clean action, batsmen have a difficult time picking it. But his consistency, pace makes him special," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation."I feel h...

Rohit Sharma’s Bad Patch Continues As CSK Break ‘Chepauk Jinx’ vs MI After 13 Years | Cricket News

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma's barren run with willow continued as Chennai Super Kings broke a 13-year-old home jinx against Mumbai Indians with an easy six-wicket victory in an IPL match, in Chepauk on Saturday. The Indian skipper's horrid run in IPL since last edition continued as he failed to trouble the scorer for the second match in succession with MI scoring a below par 139 for 8 against an inspired performance from the CSK pace and seam troika of Deepak Chahar (2/18 in 4 overs), Man of the match Matheesha Pathirana (3/15 in 4 overs) and Tushar Deshpande (2/25 in 4 overs).The chase was a cakewalk as Devon Conway (44 off 42 balls) played the role of anchor to perfection after Ruturaj Gaikwad's whirlwind 16-ball-30. The win was completed in 17.5 overs and CSK leapfrogged to second place behin...

IPL 2023: “Was Outnumbered” – Why MS Dhoni’s Decision To Bat First vs Mumbai Indians Was Overruled | Cricket News

[ad_1] MS Dhoni is considered to be one of the best captains in world cricket but the Chennai Super Kings skipper revealed that not all of his decisions are always followed without any resistance. During the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Mumbai Indians, Dhoni wanted to bat first keeping the conditions in mind but he was completely overruled by the team management who were in favour of bowling. Dhoni had to relent and he decided to bowl first after winning the toss. It turned out to be the right ball as his side went on to win the match quite comfortably at the Chepauk Stadium.“I was doubtful with the decision at the toss, I wanted to bat first but the think tank thought about the rain, I was slightly outnumbered and so we went with the majority. If there is some kind of a con...

IPL 2023: “Not As Accurate As Lasith Malinga But” – Ex-New Zealand Star’s Massive Take On Chennai Super Kings Bowler | Cricket News

[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings in action in IPL 2023© BCCIFormer New Zealand skipper Scott Styris was impressed by Sri Lanka youngster Matheesha Pathirana's performance for Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 and he had a massive prediction regarding the pacer's future. Pathirana's sling-arm action has attracted a lot of comparisons with legend Lasith Malinga and Styris believes that the youngster can become better than Malinga but he will have to improve his accuracy and consistency. One of the Malinga's biggest assets was his variety and that is where Pathirana will have to work the most.“I think Pathirana could be better than Malinga. I accept that it's a massive call because he's too early in his career. He's not as accurate as Malinga yet, but Malinga was...

“Plans Wrong Or Execution Bad?”: MS Dhoni’s Blunt Take On Chennai Super Kings’ Loss vs Punjab Kings In IPL 2023 | Cricket News

[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was left ruing the four-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in their own den, saying the bowlers need to be more aware of the situation and also indicated that the execution was probably "bad". CSK had a good chance of victory after posting 200 for four at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, thanks chiefly to another Devon Conway special of unbeaten 92, but the Shikhar Dhawan-led side hit the winning runs off the last ball to silence the yellow brigade on Sunday. "We lost it in a couple of overs in the middle. You need to be aware what you need to bowl and be clear because the batters will be going for it (big hits). (Matheesha) Pathirana bowled well but other than that, we need to see if the plans were wrong or the execution was bad," said Dhoni...

IPL 2023: MS Dhoni Loses Cool, Yells At Matheesha Pathirana. Expression Goes Viral | Cricket News

[ad_1] MS Dhoni is well known as ‘Captain Cool' because of his calm demeanour on the field and his ability to be patient in the toughest of situations. As a result, it came as a surprise when he lost his temper and yelled at Chennai Super Kings teammate Matheesha Pathirana during their match against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. During the 16th over of the RR innings, Dhoni had the chance to run Shimron Hetmyer out from behind the stumps but he was not able to complete the throw as Pathirana was standing in front in his way. The CSK captain was extremely angry with the youngster and he went on to yell at the pacer for missing out on the opportunity.Dhoni Very Angry Today.... #MSDhoni #Dhoni #RRvsCSK #CSKvsRR #CSKvRR pic.twitter.com/VDidsGnkg4— Vishwajit Patil ...

“MS Dhoni Uses Him Like Remote Control”: IPL Commentator On CSK Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] Murali Kartik feels MS Dhoni uses Matheesha Pathirana like a remote control.© AFPFormer India spinner Murali Kartik was all praise for Chennai Super Kings pacer Matheesha Pathirana, following his exploits in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Despite registering three wins on the trot, CSK face selection dilemma ahead of their game against the Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. With the pitch in Jaipur likely to aid spinners, CSK could tempt to play Mitchell Santner instead of Pathirana. While suggesting that Santner could be the x-factor for CSK, Kartik said that Pathirana has thrived under the leadership of MS Dhoni, who has used the youngster like a remote control."Mitchell Santner could replace Theekshana, if he does at all. Pathirana is a seam bowler, he bowls really...
