(Image Source: CSK/X) Indian Premier League 2024: Former Indian cricketer and commentator Wasim Jaffer has criticized MS Dhoni for leaving the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before IPL 2024 and handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad.MS Dhoni) has raised questions on the timing of the decision. MS Dhoni surprised everyone and announced his resignation from the captaincy just a day before the first match of IPL 2024 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Actually, Ruturaj Gaikwad was seen in the captains’ photoshoot for IPL 2024 on March 21, only after which everyone came to know about Dhoni’s decision. The timing of MS Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right: Wasim Jaffer Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer believes that the timing of Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right. The former batsman said that if Dhoni was not part of the team, the move would have been more appropriate. He also expressed concern that Dhoni’s presence in CSK could potentially create challenges for new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. “No, I don’t think it was the right time for MS Dhoni to resign as captain,” Wasim Jaffer was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. I think it would have made more sense if MS Dhoni was not part of the team. If he had retired and was not in the team, this timing could have been right. If that had happened, things would have become much easier for the new captain.” “If Dhoni was not there, then…” Wasim Jaffer further said, “Since he is still a part of the team, things are going to become difficult for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a decision or not, and whether Dhoni agrees with that decision or not. What, will he like those decisions? And you are on your own, and we all know that Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been the next captain of CSK. But I think if Dhoni was not there, all this would have been much easier.”
Virat Kohli’s IPL record in Chepauk is quite disappointing! Know the statistics of the legendary batsman
Kohli will be seen playing on the cricket field for the first time after the birth of son Akay. Virat Kohli. (Image Source: IPL-BCCI) IPL 2024 is going to start from today and in the opening match, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. However, considering Virat Kohli’s record on this ground, this is not an ideal place for him. Kohli will be seen playing on the cricket field for the first time after the birth of son Akay. Kohli had left the five-match Test series against England because his wife Anushka Sharma recently gave birth to a son. Now after that break, Virat has returned for the upcoming season of IPL. Last time, Virat Kohli played a fighting innings and scored a half-century against Australia in the league stage match of the ODI World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Therefore, he will hope to continue the same form here in IPL 2024. Virat has played 12 matches at this venue During the edition of IPL played so far, Virat Kohli has played 12 matches at this venue, in which he has scored 363 runs at an average of 30.17 and strike rate of 111.38. Despite being a good batsman of spin, he has had to struggle here. He has been able to score only two half-centuries. RCB has also faced several defeats on this ground, including the 2011 final against MS Dhoni & Co. Nonetheless, RCB won three matches during the 2021 season. Kohli has not looked impressive here, but what is more worrying is his strike rate. He has scored runs at a strike rate of only 125. The last time CSK and RCB started the IPL season in Chennai, Kohli was out after scoring 6 runs in just 12 balls, his second lowest score at the stadium.
IPL 2024: “The whole world wants to see Dhoni bat not for the last two overs but for five overs”- Suresh Raina
MS Dhoni Suresh Raina (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Before IPL 2024, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina talked about the first match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. During this, Raina expressed his opinion on many issues. During a show on Jio Cinema, Suresh Raina was asked, what can we expect from MS Dhoni this season? On this Suresh Raina said: The best thing is that he is looking fit. He looks in good form and is batting well. But, I would like to see him bat higher in the order. The whole world wants to see him bat not for the last two overs but for five overs. When he comes to the crease, it will take some time for him to settle down and after that you will see his helicopter shot sixes. He has undergone an operation, he will not be captaining, so it will be a big IPL for him. He will be hoping that CSK can maintain the mentality of a champion. This will happen when Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey and Daryl Mitchell set the tone. So, they have to tick a lot of boxes. Suresh Raina gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s batting After this, Raina was asked whether Kohli would open the innings against CSK, on which Suresh Raina said, I think he will open the innings with Faf du Plessis. Below him there are batsmen who can hit the ball well. On wickets like this, we will see him scoring a lot of singles. His form will be very important for the T20 World Cup because the wickets in West Indies are slow. After this, Mr. IPL was also asked whether RCB can defeat CSK in Chennai, on this Suresh Raina said, I think RCB has the team to defeat CSK. Apart from this, whichever team plays against CSK will say that now Ruturaj and not Dhoni is the captain, so there is a psychological factor also. The feeling of Chennai’s heat is different, but Dhoni’s wave is different. So, a lot will depend on Ruturaj’s body language.

Virat is the leading run-scorer in the history of the tournament with 7,263 runs at an average of 37.25, during which he has scored seven centuries and 50 half-centuries. 2) Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK’s newly appointed captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will have the additional responsibility of captaining the team in IPL 2024. Ruturaj Gaikwad knows the conditions of Chennai very well. He has been arguably CSK’s best batsman in the last three seasons, scoring 1,593 runs in 46 matches, including one century and 11 half-centuries. Gaikwad would be keen to make a good captaincy debut and lead the team from the front. The right-handed batsman bats well against fast bowlers and if he gets settled at the crease in the powerplay overs, he can play a big innings. 3) Faf du Plessis The former South African captain will play in Chepauk, but this time he will represent RCB. Faf du Plessis has some good memories playing for CSK on this ground. Du Plessis would once again like to give a good start to RCB by batting well on this ground. The right-handed batsman had an excellent season last year as he scored 730 runs in 14 matches and Du Plessis will be looking to repeat the same.

When both the teams clashed with each other last season, Chennai Super Kings had won by 8 runs. Both the teams would like to show their brilliant game in the opening match of the season.

Due to which CSK will have to show the way to the pavilion to Virat Kohli during the powerplay itself. Virat Kohli can be the most dangerous – Matthew Hayden Before the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, former Australian player Matthew Hayden talked about Virat Kohli’s performance at Chepauk Stadium. Hayden says that it is difficult to bat in Chepauk, but if Virat gets set then it can be dangerous for CSK. Matthew Hayden while talking on Star Sports show Game Plan said, ‘One thing is for sure, this is a blockbuster showdown. Virat Kohli’s average at Chepauk Stadium is 30 and strike rate is 111. Virat’s greatness has also diminished on this field. It is a difficult pitch to bat on, especially as an opening batsman. It has a strange bounce like a tennis ball, it is quite slow and it is difficult to play shots in the beginning, but the longer you bat, the game opens up and this is where Virat can be most dangerous. Matthew Hayden further said that, if Virat Kohli is ready to bat the entire 20 overs then he can win the match. Therefore, CSK will have to get him out in the powerplay itself. Matthew Hayden further said, ‘If he is ready to bat the full 20 overs, he can give a match-winning performance. ‘200 is very easy at Chinnaswamy but not so at Chepauk Stadium. Sometimes scores of 150, 130 are enough, when you get good players like Jadeja, who bowls stump to stump, turns the ball and the ball stays low, it is really difficult, so he has to play powerplay. Virat Kohli will have to be out inside.
