Chennai Super Kings faced Lucknow Super Giants in the 45th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the famous Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Due to adverse circumstances, the match began 15 minutes late and ended without any result. Both of the teams had to share a point each. However, a question about MS Dhoni has sparked interest on social media.
MS Dhoni’s future as an Indian Premier League player is being debated. Will Dhoni keep playing for CSK? Is this Dhoni’s final year? and so forth. Meanwhile, during the CSK vs LSG game, match presenter Danny Morrison brilliantly asked the two-time world cup-winning captain how he is enjoying the tremendous support he is receiving everywhere in his final season. Dhoni, being Dhoni, answered with a clever retort that left fans in the split.
“This wonderful swansong tour is your last. How are you enjoying it?” Morrison asked after Dhoni won the toss and received a round of applause from the supporters at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. “You’ve decided it is my last,” a smiling Dhoni replied. After his cheeky remark, Morrison corrected himself and said, “I Knew it. You are going to come back.”
CSK vs LSG match got washed out due to heavy rainfall
Talking about the game, the match started 15 minutes delay as rain delayed the toss. However, after being called to bat first LSG failed to capitalise on the opportunity and got a terrible start. CSK spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Maheesh Teekshna and Moeen Ali clinched five wickets as LSG were crumbling at 44-5 in 9.4 overs.
After that, Ayush Badoni played an amazing inning as he scored 59 runs in 33 balls with the help of two boundaries and four sixes. However, the match didn’t complete as rain returned in the final over of the first innings.
Meanwhile, Ali, Teekshna and Matheesha Pathirna clinched two wickets each for CSK while Jadeja got a wicket too.
Here is how fans react to MS Dhoni’s reaction to the retirement question:
