Such is Dhoni’s aura that SRH coaching staff Dale Steyn hastened to him and asked for an autograph and Dhoni being Dhoni, obliged happily. The picture of this encounter is already going viral. Earlier MS Dhoni was back in business. As he went to the toss, the commentator Danny Morrison asked him whether he will be playing for CSK next year as well, just like he asked last year.
“You’ll definitely see me in the yellow jersey, whether it is this one, or some other one, you never know. You need to realize the current situation. We have dropped catches, those are the things you want to omit. Those are the areas you need to work on. We have a couple of changes. Bravo and Dube are out. Devon and Simarjeet Singh are in,” Dhoni said at the toss.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway’s effortless six-hitting exhibition was well complemented by a four-wicket haul from Mukesh Choudhary as Chennai Super Kings notched up a 13-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match here on Sunday.
Earlier Gaikwad (99 off 57 balls) and Conway (85 not out off 55) put SRH’s attack to the sword, notching up a scintillating 182-run partnership, the highest opening stand of the season, as CSK posted an imposing 202 for two after being invited to bat.
In reply, SRH fell short, reaching 189 for 6 in 20 overs despite late heroics from Nicholas Pooran (64 not out) and a 47-run ins by skipper Kane Williamson at the top.
Choudhary emerged with the best figures for CSK, scalping four for 46, while Mitchell Santner (1/36) and Dwaine Pretorius (1/40) took one wicket each.
