The Internet continued in Overdrive on Saturday when the official broadcaster showed images of Pan Singh and Devika Devi, the parents of Ms Dhoni, during the chennai Super Kings VS Delhi Capitals match in Chennai. It was the first time that Dhoni’s parents have been spread out to watch an IPL match here since the association of their son with CSK began in 2008. The wife of Dhoni Sakshi and his daughter Ziva were also present, although they often attend IPL games in Chennai.
The presence of Dhoni’s parents saw the social media speculating whether the CSK Grand would retire or not. However, the CSK coach Stephen Fleming, at the post-match press conference, said he was not retiring. “He is still going strong and I don’t even ask him about his future these days,” said Fleming.
There have been discussions on Dhoni leading the CSK if the regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad did not get back on time on his elbow unprotected against the Royals of Rajasthan in Gowahati last Sunday. However, Gaikwad walking for the draw excluded such a nostalgic journey to a few days of glory. Gaikwad said during the draw: “My elbow is good, eager to leave.”
Meanwhile, the remarkable spells of Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav spinners strangled the CHENNAI Super Kings (CSK) rating rate while Delhi Capitals (DC) continued their winning race in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with a 24 -point victory at the Chepauk Stadium on Saturday.
With this victory, DC is at the top of the table of points with three wins in three games. On the other hand, with a single victory and three defeats, CSK slipped in eighth place.
During the continuation of the race, the brand new opening combination in Rachin Ravira and Devon Conway could not stay together for a long time while Rachin was caught and turned upside down by Mukesh Kumar for only three. CSK was 14/1 in 1.5 Overs. In the next one, Mitchell Starc has obtained the prized scalp of the Gaikwad Ruturaj skipper for five, thanks to a nice jake Fraser McGurk in the deep square leg. CSK was 20/2 in 2.3 Overs.
Devon Conway and Vijay Shankar tried to sew a partnership, but a Googly of Vipraj Nigam landed in the hands of the Skipper Axar Patel, withdrawing Conway for 13 balls in 14. CSK was 41/3 in 5.3 Overs.
At the end of six Overs, CSK was 46/3, with Shankar (11 *) and Dube (5 *) invainu. CSK reached the brand of 50 points in 7.2 Overs.
Dube has not yet managed to convert his condition into a large score while Vipraj obtained his second window, Tristan Stubbs was not mistaken long. Dube had left for 18 bullets in 15, with four and six. CSK was 65/4 in 9.2 Overs.
CSK was 69/4 in 10 Overs, with Vijay Shankar (19 *) joined by Ravindra Jadeja (2 *). The counters continued to tumble for CSK while Ravi will Jadeja was trapped the leg before the Kuldeep Yadav’s counter for only two. CSK had 74/5 in 10.4 Overs.
Ms. Dhoni went to the fold and received a huge ovation from the crowd.
DC quisors were everywhere in the CSK, as even if Vijay managed certain limits, the rate of demand increased rapidly. CSK reached the brand of 100 points in 14.3 Overs. Dhoni had to wait for the 19th ball to strike a six.
