Dale Steyn voiced the fans’ feelings on Sunday night with a three-phrased tweet for MS Dhoni. As the CSK commander played just 3 balls in the game against KKR.
Chennai Super Rulers confronted a hiccup in the race for end-of-the-season games on Sunday night. As they confronted a six-wicket misfortune to Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai.
The CSK bowlers were limited to 144/6 in 20 overs. But Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh, who both scored half-centuries, gave the Knight Riders a much-needed win.
This prevented the CSK bowlers from achieving a dramatic victory. The KKR are now sixth and still have a chance of making the playoffs. Despite the fact that CSK is still in second place with 15 points.
The CSK’s poor start hampered them throughout their innings. After the eleventh over, the team was reeling at 72/5 and only managed a respectable score thanks to a partnership between Shivam Dube (48*) and Ravindra Jadeja (20).
However, the latter received severe criticism for failing to raise the run rate in the game’s final overs. The fans began to lose patience as the innings progressed, which was understandable.
Jadeja’s slow knock prevented CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni from getting to the crease early, which added to their fury.
Dhoni boasted of a strike rate above 200 prior to the innings on Sunday night. Despite the fact that he reserved himself for the final overs throughout the tournament.
At one point, even Dale Steyn, a former star of South Africa, lost patience. He took to Twitter to express his impatience at Jadeja’s knock.
Minutes before Jadeja was dismissed with two deliveries remaining in the CSK innings, Steyn wrote, “Let Dhoni bat.” Dhoni, notwithstanding, could score an unbeaten 2.
After the home team had posted a moderate 144 for six in 20 overs, Rana and Rinku, both left-handers.
Demonstrated the necessary skills and patience on a tacky pitch to neutralize the impact of CSK spinners.
The game-dominating organization between Rana and Rinku finished. When the last option was run out by an immediate hit from Moeen Ali.
