Under the leadership of Gaikwad, CSK had a mixed performance in IPL 2024, but the team missed out on a place in the playoffs. However, the craze for MS Dhoni was at its peak throughout the tournament. Chennai fans were arriving in large numbers in every match of CSK and they were desperate to get a glimpse of Dhoni. They used to wait for the CSK batsman to get out to see Dhoni bat. Now in the meantime, a video of a fan has surfaced, who has said something very bitter for CSK fans. This video is going viral on social media, in which the fan is claiming that he has a lot of respect for Dhoni, but he cannot support such behavior. In the viral video, the fan says, I am very sorry, but all the CSK matches have been like a circus. I am a big fan of Dhoni. He is amazing and a great player. But the fans are spoiling it. I was not able to enjoy cricket. But now I have posted on Facebook and Instagram, ‘Enjoyed the IPL match at MA Chidambaram without Dhoni circus.’ Watch that video of the fan here “Finally enjoyed an IPL match at Chepauk without the Dhoni circus.”pic.twitter.com/ExDswyYhhT — Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket) May 25, 2024 Justin Langer was also surprised to see the craze of MS Dhoni at Ekana Stadium. He said that to be honest, there must have been 48000 MS Dhoni number seven shirts there. I could not believe it, and then we went to CSK and they were 100 percent there. It is unbelievable.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have secured their place in the final by winning against Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier held on 24 May. In this way, now Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and SRH will face each other in the final to be held on 26 May. Before this title match, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has given his opinion and believes that KKR has a better chance of winning. Pietersen believes that KKR’s spin attack and their recent record against SRH seem to benefit them in the crucial match. KKR has the advantage- Kevin Pietersen He said on Star Sports Cricket Live, I didn’t like the way Sunrisers Hyderabad lost in Ahmedabad and I think it will put them on the backfoot early on Sunday. I didn’t like the way Pat Cummins finished that game. Travis Head bowled and Shreyas Iyer hit a brilliant shot. Pietersen said, knowing that they beat SRH just a few days ago, KKR’s confidence will be very high in the final. So it will be difficult for Sunrisers to move forward, but I think they will do well, because they have won in SA20. So they know how to win. He continued, “The toss is 50-50. You have to consider the possibility of dew and be ready even if dew doesn’t come. It’s all about mindset and confidence. I think KKR have an advantage, given the way they have played, their win in Qualifier-1 and their preparation in the last three or four days.”

‘We lacked options against spin’, Sanju Samson is heartbroken after RR’s loss to SRH in Qualifier 2!

After the defeat, Sanju Samson admitted that he suffered due to lack of match awareness Sanju Samson (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) In the second qualifier of IPL 2024 played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday, May 24, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl first. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Sanju Samson and Co. by 36 runs in the match and confirmed their place in the final. Now after the defeat, Sanju Samson has admitted that he suffered due to lack of match awareness. He also said that the middle-order batsmen could have used the reverse sweep or the depth of the crease against SRH spinners Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma. After the defeat in Qualifier 2, Sanju Samson said, I think we lacked options in the middle overs against spin and I think that’s where we lost the game. Against left-arm spin, we had three-four right-handed batsmen and the ball was stopping, but we could have tried a little more options. Could have used reverse sweep or the crease a little more. But they also bowled well. The wicket started behaving differently in the second innings- Sanju Samson Samson further said, it is actually very difficult to predict. When can we expect dew in Chennai or not. In the second innings, the wicket started behaving differently. The ball started moving a bit. He took advantage of this and bowled spin against right-handed batsmen in the middle overs. Talking about the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 175 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen scored a half-century. In response, Rajasthan Royals could only score 139 runs for 7 wickets and lost by 36 runs.

Actually, during a recent IPL match, when Aakash Chopra asked Suresh Raina about his return from retirement, Raina jokingly said- I am Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi. Now for this reason, the Pakistani journalist tried to belittle Suresh Raina.

Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you. I’m not an ICC ambassador, but I have the 2011 World Cup at my house. Remember the game at Mohali?
