‘Dhoni aur Virat ki jodi isliye mashallah hai’ – Fans react to MS Dhoni mentioning Virat Kohli in one of his conversations

Prior to their encounter with Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), MS Dhoni, was overheard talking about Virat Kohli in the CSK dressing room. It is no secret that Kohli has relished the challenge of pacers throughout his career and also during Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.

But, Dhoni was heard telling his teammates, “Virat doesn’t play fast balls like this.” In Match 49 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, CSK defeated Mumbai Indians with ease, winning by six wickets.

The Gujarat Titans, who are now in first place, are just one point ahead of the Chennai Super Kings in the standings as a result of their comprehensive victory. After gaining the toss and deciding to bowl first, skipper Dhoni’s bowlers seldom made a mistake in limiting the other team to a respectable 139/8.

Coming to the CSK bowlers, Sri Lankan speedster Matheesha Pathirana (3/15), who also won the Man-of-the-Match award, once again shined and finished with the best stats. In the third over, Deepak Chahar, as well as Tushar Deshpande, also played brilliantly in pushing Mumbai to 14/3.

The five-time IPL winners inserted Rohit Sharma as captain at No. 3 and promoted all-rounder Cameron Green to open alongside Ishan Kishan. The plan was unsuccessful because Deshpande, who claimed two wickets for 26 runs, finally got his length correct and dismissed the Australian during the second over of the game.

CSK breeze past MI for a thumping win

Nehal Wadhera maintained her strength and exuded the necessary composure despite the pressure. At first, Tristan Stubbs, who had replaced Tilak Varma as his companion at the opposite end, didn’t seem comfortable. The two piled up 54 over the fifth wicket, though, as Mumbai sought a better outcome.

At that point, Pathirana took over. Before knocking twice in the penultimate over of Mumbai’s innings in order to get ahead of Arshad Khan as well as Stubbs, he first nailed Wadhera with a yorker. Pathirana demonstrated his dominance and self-control by not conceding a single six or a boundary.

In response, the opening pair of Devon Conway who scored a valuable 44 with Ruturaj Gaikwad who scored a significant 30, combined to score 46 runs from the first four overs. One spinner in particular, Piyush Chawla who grabbed two wickets in his spell was the only one who could truly distinguish Mumbai’s bowling. Mumbai bowlers claimed two more wickets but it was too little too late as Chennai Super Kings were already close to the total by then. In the end, Chennai Super Kings completed a double over Mumbai in the Indian Premier League 2023
