At Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, a game between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) marked the resumption of action in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The Delhi Capitals have already been eliminated from contention for one of the four playoff positions in this year’s IPL. At the same time, the Super Kings face heavy competition from teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants.
The visitors won the toss, and MS Dhoni decided to bat first. CSK played superb cricket to ensure they took the most of the opportunity, posting a remarkable 223-run total. The CSK openers Devon Conway (87 off 52) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (79 off 50) turned in the best performances for the guests. They also benefited from the appearances of Shivam Dube (22 off 9) and Ravindra Jadeja (20 off 7).
DC need 224 to win the game vs CSK
During Delhi’s reply, a hilarious moment caught the eyes of the spectators. DC’s skipper David Warner had to dive to complete a run threatened by a throw by Ravindra Jadeja. The receiving fielder threw the ball back towards the stumps as Warner tried to steal a single if there was one. The ball returned to Jadeja as he again threatened Warner acting like another throw was on the way. Warner, in reply, looked into Jadeja’s eyes and unleashed his famous sword celebration to catch him off-guard. Jadeja couldn’t control his laughter; the incident remained one of the funniest moments this season.
Here’s the viral David Warner video:

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will square off in an unusual contest in the second game of the day of the 16th Indian Premier League (IPL). The lives of both squads are at stake. Following that, Sunday would be the final day of the league stages, and the spectators would be treated to another doubleheader. In the opening game at the Wankhede Stadium, the ousted Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will try to spoil the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) celebration. The Gujarat Titans (GT), who have already qualified, will play the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the final match of the league stages.
Here’s how fans reacted:
