Dhoni in IPL 2024

He is yet to be dismissed in this season and has remained not out in all of his seven knocks. He has smashed 9 fours and 9 sixes so far in the tournament.

CSK enter the top three again
CSK have entered the top three of the points table after their big win over SRH. This was their first win after two consecutive losses. They now have 10 points in matches and are one of the top teams in the race to playoffs. They would be competing against Punjab Kings in their next game at Chepauk itself and would try to add another crucial win in front of their name
“Feeling pretty good. Tough to play in such wet conditions, and to be able to win by 70-odd runs is a clinical performance. Was blessing in disguise at toss. Everything is good (injury concern?). Too hot and humid conditions. Even the last game, was there batting for 20 overs and fielding for 20 overs. Today also almost same. Wasn't thinking about hundred. Wanted to make sure we get to 220-odd. Was disappointed that I missed 4-5 hits at the back end. During innings break I felt it could make a difference and I was upset. But thankfully it was enough,” said Ruturaj Gaikwad in the post-match presentation.
“Last game we made some errors. Some loose balls here and there. Today we were outstanding in the field. Stuck to the plans and knew what the conditions were. With impact player rule, you always want the extra 20 runs. Never know what par score is. That was one area - not getting wickets in powerplay. That's the only way it can put opposition in back foot. He's bowling really well (Deshpande). His hard work is paying off. Special mention to Jaddu as well. In these wet conditions to go for 22 runs, that was the match turning spell. I'm not vocal. Can't tell seniors in the dressing room what to do. You have to take the back seat and let them do their job,” he added.
