Fans got angry after seeing this action of MS Dhoni, Mahi did not shake hands with anyone after the match
MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: Twitter) Yesterday the most exciting match of IPL 2024 was played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). CSK had to face defeat in this match and with this the CSK team was out of the tournament. A heartbreaking picture of Dhoni after the defeat against RCB is going viral on social media. When hopes of victory were gradually fading. The team needed 11 runs from three balls. In the last over, Dhoni was out on the second ball after hitting a six on the very first ball. The sorrow of CSK not reaching the playoffs was clearly visible not only on his face but also in his expressions. He did not even shake hands with RCB players. Hardly anyone remembers that Dhoni had done such a thing before. In such a situation, when such pictures of him came from Chinnaswamy Stadium, it was natural to be surprised. MS Dhoni’s video went viral on social media Perhaps no one had imagined what Dhoni did after CSK was out of the playoffs after losing to RCB. In the viral video on social media, it is clearly visible that Dhoni along with his fellow players had lined up on the field to shake hands with the RCB players. Dhoni is also at the forefront of this line. But, as soon as they reach the ground, they come out again. During this, he just shook hands with some RCB support staff coming from the front. He is not seen shaking hands with any CSK player in that video. Now looking at the video it seems that Dhoni is angry. But, it also seems that his anger is not on his opponent i.e. RCB. That is, whatever the matter is, it is an internal matter within CSK, regarding which Dhoni is a little angry or disappointed. After this, now there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether Dhoni will be seen playing in IPL again next year.
RCB created history, became the first team to do so, made the most spectacular comeback in the history of the tournament
By defeating CSK, RCB registered its sixth consecutive win of this season. RCB (Pic Source-X) When the first stage of IPL 2024 was over, hardly anyone would have thought that the Royal Challengers Bangalore team would be able to secure its place in the playoffs. In fact, after the end of the first seven matches, RCB was able to win only one match. After which everyone had given up hope of them reaching the playoffs. But the way Bengaluru players have made a comeback after that, hardly anyone would have expected it. RCB qualified for the playoffs by defeating 5-time champion CSK by 27 runs in the 68th match of IPL 2024. With this, RCB has become the first team in the history of IPL to qualify for the playoffs after losing 6 out of the first 7 matches of the season. RCB had lost six out of the first seven matches. Yes, till date no other team has been able to do this in the history of this tournament. This has been the biggest comeback of RCB in the history of the tournament. Let us tell you that in the first half, the team had lost 6 out of 7 matches, while in the 8th match also they had to face defeat. There was a time when the team was at the bottom 10th position in the points table and they were in danger of being out of the tournament. Then the team gained such momentum that it won 6 matches back to back and got the ticket for the playoffs. With this, RCB has become the first team to win 6 consecutive matches after suffering 6 consecutive defeats in a season. Yes, till date no team has been able to do this. Earlier, Deccan Chargers in 2010, Punjab Kings in 2020 and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2022 had won 5 consecutive matches in a season and lost the same number of matches. If the team is successful in winning first the Eliminator and then the Qualifier-2 in the playoffs, then the record of winning 8 consecutive matches will be registered in their name. On the other hand, if the team creates history by winning the final, then RCB can also score a triple hat-trick of wins.
“As a batsman, I know that I can live up to my standards…”- Hitman on his performance in IPL 2024
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ended their season in IPL 2024 with an 18-run win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Batting first in the match, Lucknow scored 214 runs and restricted Mumbai to 196 runs to get an easy win, but the margin of victory was not big enough to reach the top 4. Their tournament journey ended with a group-stage exit. After this match, Rohit Sharma (68* runs) talked about the T20 World Cup team and his IPL 2024 performance in a special conversation with JioCinema on Match Center Live. Rohit Sharma said, “We thought a lot about the team that we ultimately selected for the World Cup. Spinner, seamer, batsman and keeper, we knew before the IPL who we would choose for the World Cup. IPL performance can be up and down for everyone. So we didn’t focus too much on that. We needed to look at the performance of some players, but it was important for us to give clarity to everyone as to whether everyone going into the IPL will participate in the team and what their roles will be so that they can practice and play accordingly. So that we can, we had shared all these hints with 70% of the team before the IPL.” Rohit Sharma spoke on performance in IPL 2024 Regarding his performance during IPL 2024, Sharma said- “As a batsman, I know that I have not been able to perform as per my standard. But, after playing for so many years, I know that if I think too much, I will not be able to play well.” I just try to stay in a good mindset, stay in the right zone, keep practicing and work on all the flaws in my game. Our season didn’t go according to plan, we blame ourselves for that because we made a lot of mistakes during the season. We lost a lot of matches which we should have won, but it is the nature of the IPL that you get some opportunities and when those opportunities come, you have to grab them.”

Perhaps fans may not know, today Rohit Sharma will play his last match for Mumbai Indians!
Mumbai Indians will play their last league match of IPL 2024 today. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) In IPL 2024, the match will be played today (May 17) between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. This match will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While the Mumbai team is already out of the race for the playoffs and will play this match for its honor, the Lucknow Super Giants are still in the race for the playoffs but their chances of reaching the top 4 are slim. Before this match, Mumbai Indians fans are facing a different worry, many fans believe that since this is the last match of Mumbai Indians this season, then perhaps this match of their former captain Rohit will also be the last match for this franchise. It is possible Now you must be wondering, how can this happen, so let us tell you. In fact, before the start of this season, the Mumbai franchise removed Rohit Sharma and appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain of the team. The fans did not like this decision of the franchise at all and they criticized it fiercely and Hardik Pandya was trolled a lot during the entire season. This could be Rohit Sharma’s last season for Mumbai Indians hardik pandya After making him the captain, many reports had come out from Amai’s camp that the atmosphere of the team is not good…the team is divided into two groups…. Apart from this, wherever MI was going to play, Rohit Sharma was getting immense support, while Hardik Pandya was being booed. During this time, many reports came out that Rohit Sharma can join the squad of Kolkata Knight Riders next season. These news gained momentum when before MI’s match against KKR, a video of Rohit Sharma surfaced in which he was seen talking about the atmosphere of the Mumbai Indians team, while during that time he had also said that This is my last one. Even when it was raining during the KKR vs MI match, the Hitman was seen spending a lot of time in the KKR dressing room. Rohit Sharma had earlier told in an interview that if he sees himself playing for any other team other than Mumbai Indians, it would be Kolkata Knight Riders. Looking at all these things, it would not be wrong to say that this could be Rohit’s last match for Mumbai.
