Dhoni participated in the first two matches of the season for the Chennai Super Kings, where his batting prowess was not required. However, in the recent match in Vizag, the failure of CSK’s top order necessitated the former CSK skipper’s presence in the middle.
The batter came to the crease with the team in a challenging situation at 120/6 in 16.1 overs. Dhoni hit a boundary off his first ball and survived a dropped catch by Khaleel Ahmed on his second ball. He scored 20 runs off the last over bowled by Anrich Nortje.
Rishabh Pant Smashes Brilliant Half-Century
Rishabh Pant showcased his vintage form for the first time since returning from injury in the IPL 2024 match. He played a scintillating innings with remarkable strokeplay, scoring 51 runs off 32 balls and contributing to the Capitals’ imposing total of 191/5 in 20 overs.
Following a devastating car accident in December 2022, the 26-year-old made his comeback to competitive cricket in the IPL 2024. The southpaw faced challenges in accelerating the scoring rate, posting scores of 18 (13) and 28 (26) in DC’s first two matches.
I’ve To Give My 100 Percent – Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant praised the team’s bowlers for their clinical performance and highlighted the improvement from previous matches. Pant expressed his commitment to giving his best on the field, reflecting on his journey back to cricket after a significant hiatus.
“Bowlers have been clinical today. We’ve learned from our mistakes. He’s been working hard from last two weeks (Shaw). We thought it was time to give him a chance and he flourished. It will depend on match to match, but if Mukesh can bowl at the death it’ll be great. As a cricketer, I’ve to give my 100 percent. Took some time initially as I haven’t played much cricket in the last 1.5 years. This is something I’ve depended my life on. Always had the self-belief that whatever happens, it’s important to come back to the ground,” Pant said.
