Tom Moody gave a big statement praising MS Dhoni

Let us tell you that after this amazing inning of MS Dhoni against LSG, Tom Moody quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – Even at the age of 42, he (Dhoni) still looks very fit, focused and hungry. However, the conundrum is that he did not play any kind of cricket before coming to the IPL. Despite this, it is difficult to get back on the field and it is almost impossible to expect them to suddenly perform at a high level.

On the other hand, if we tell you the status of this match, Lucknow Super Giants won against Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets. Batting first, CSK scored 176 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. For CSK, Ajinkya Rahane scored 36 and Moeen Ali scored 30 runs, while Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 57* and MS Dhoni remained unbeaten on 28*.

After this, Lucknow easily achieved the target of 177 runs given by Chennai by losing 2 wickets in 19 overs. For LSG, Quinton de Kock played a brilliant inning of 54 runs and KL Rahul played a brilliant inning of 82 runs, for which he was also given the Player of the Match award.
