CSK Captain Change: MS Dhoni told to players to play under new captaincy
CSK Captain Change: Chennai Super Kings collected their first points of the IPL 2023 after defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs on Monday night. The victory was special as it was achieved at their home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium, where MS Dhoni and Co returned after more than 1000 days. CSK Captain Change: MS Dhoni said to players to play under new captaincy.
Despite the winning return, the CSK captain wasn’t pleased with his fast bowlers and even issued a strict warning to them. Four-time Indian Premier League champions Chennai Super Kings started their campaign in IPL 2023 with a defeat. However, in the second game, they made a comeback like a phoenix and won. CSK saw a thrilling 12-run win against Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday.
Despite giving the opponent a target of 200+ runs to win, LSG came close to the target and lost. This made Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) angry. CSK might have bounced back after losing the season opener but they need to take strict measures to deal with their bowlers’ frequency of giving away extra runs. The pacers conceded as many as 13 wides in the encounter against LSG at Chepauk.

A total of three no-balls were also bowled, all by Tushar Deshpande, during the game. So far, the CSK bowlers have bowled 17 wide balls and 7 no-balls in just matches. Speaking about the same at the post-match presentation, the CSK captain issued a second warning and stated if the bowlers don’t get in line right away, he will walk away from the team.
“Fast bowling – we need to slightly improve. Need to bowl according to the conditions. What is important is to keep an eye as to what the opposition bowlers are doing,” Dhoni said. “One more thing is they’ll have to bowl no no-balls or extra wides. Or they’ll have to play under a new captain. It will be my second warning and then I’ll be off. The only reason we’ve scored those runs is if the surface is nice,” he added.
