2 min readApr 4, 2026 12:08 PM IST In the game against the Punjab Kings on Friday, the Chennai Super Kings picked only two overseas players, which has only happened the third time in the Indian Premier League’s history. However, the combination picked could not have come into question if Chennai had won the game, but they lost to Punjab. In the opening game against Rajasthan Royals, Chennai has played Matthew Short and Jamie Overton both of the game did not play yesterday. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra questioned CSK’s decision to play just two foreigners and said it’s hurting them. “It was just the third time in this tournament’s 19-year history that only two overseas players were fielded. Why would that have happened? We had asked yesterday whether the decisions Chennai took are hurting them. Exactly the same thing happened because they don’t have the confidence at all,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel. “You picked only two overseas batters, out of which one is injured and the second is not worthy of playing …

‘Back in 2010, there was a young MS Dhoni who was launching balls…’: Mathew Hayden recalls after Prabhsimran Singh’s 91 for PBKS vs LSG | Ipl News

One of the iconic innings in the Indian Premier League came when MS Dhoni slammed a 29-ball 54 against Punjab Kings in 2010 in the picturesque Dharamsala ground to take to the semi-final stages of the competition. Chennai Super Kings not only qualified for the semifinal but also eventually won their maiden title that season On Sunday, Prabhsimran Singh won the Player of the Match for his 48-ball 91 at the same venue. Former Aussie and Super Kings players have drawn a comparison between Prabhsimran and MS Dhoni while recalling the latter’s iconic match-winning innings in the chase back in 2010. “He has got great power. Back in 2010, there was a young MS Dhoni who was launching balls in the last over of the day. Prabhsimran has got similar sort of attributes. He has wonderful bat speed, a solid base. He is not that tall, so he can really manoeuvre the ball into the gaps and he is fearless,” Hayden said on Star Sports during mid-innings break. Story continues below this ad “You can …

MS Dhoni batting at No.9 doesn’t work for CSK: Irfan Pathan | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has made a scathing remark on Chennai Super Kings’ MS Dhoni for coming out to bat at No 9 during their match against Punjab Kings on Sunday. MS Dhoni batted at No. 9 — for the first time – and Harshal Patel bowled him for a golden duck. In this season so far, MS Dhoni has amassed 110 across 7 innings at an average of average of 55 and a strike rate of 224.49. “MS Dhoni batting at No.9 doesn’t work for CSK, it’s doesn’t help the team’s cause. I know that he is 42, but he is in solid form,” Irfan Pathan told Star Sports. “He should be taking the responsibility of batting up the order. He should bat for at least 4 to 5 overs. “He is batting for the last over or last 2 overs and that doesn’t serve the purpose for CSK for a long term.” Chennai moved up to third with 12 points, ahead of Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad on net run-rate. “It …

PBKS vs CSK: What caught out eye: Rahane’s struggles, Dhoni’s contrasting stay in Dharamshala and Punjab’s implosion | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Running out of patience That Chennai Super Kings have a history of backing players battling form is well known. But even by their standards, how long will they persist with Ajinkya Rahane is the question that gets louder with each passing game. In the past when they backed the likes of Murali Vijay, Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson they could afford to do so as they were winning matches. But this season with Chennai having a mixed season and at a time where each win is crucial, Rahane faltered once again, falling for 9. With Sameer Rizvi, Sheikh Rasheed, Ajay Mandal in their ranks, the pressure is mounting on Rahane. Against Punjab Kings, his innings ended tamely as he flicked a simple catch to the mid-wicket fielder off Arshdeep Singh’s delivery. Missing intent In their previous two matches with powerplay not fetching enough runs, Chennai’s first six of their innings came only on the 13th over. Their middle-order, which is already short on runs, has been forced to go out on the attack straight away. …

IPL 2024: Punjab dawdle through final stages of comfortable chase after CSK show a lack of firepower | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Soporific affair With 28 needed in 36 balls, with seven wickets in hand, one would expect the batting team to finish off proceedings in a hurry to get a boost in net run rate. Especially as Punjab Kings are languishing near the bottom of the points table. But Shashank Singh, who has caught the eye for his clean striking this season, played out a maiden over from Mustafizur Rahman. What could have been a romp turned out to be a dawdle. A little later, Sam Curran hit one aerially to long-on and forgot to run, anticipating that he may be caught. A team hoping to make a late dash for the playoffs can’t afford such complacency, when spots in the final four may well come down to net run rate.
