Who is Urvil Patel? CSK star equals fastest fifty record in IPL history

Urvil Patel produced one of the most explosive knocks in Indian Premier League history, equalling the tournament’s fastest fifty record as Chennai Super Kings cruised to a dominant five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday (May 10). Pursuing a challenging 204-run target, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson started the chase aggressively, taking 11 runs off Mohammed Shami in the opening over before collecting another 15 from Prince Yadav in the next over.&nbsp;Spin was introduced early through Digvesh Singh Rathi, but Samson attacked immediately with a boundary and a six. The spinner, however, responded by clean bowling the wicketkeeper-batter later in the over. Samson’s quickfire 28 came off just 14 deliveries and included three fours and two maximums.&nbsp;Patel arrived at the crease and settled in with a single before launching a brutal counterattack. He hammered three successive sixes off Avesh Khan and continued the intent when Rathi returned, smashing him for four boundaries in a row, including three huge sixes.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/big-blow-for-real-madrid-as-kylian-mbappe-set-to-miss-crucial-el-clasico-against-barcelona-1778414919344">Big blow for Real Madrid as Mbappe set to miss El Clasico against Barcelona</a>&nbsp;After completing the record-equalling fifty, Patel celebrated emotionally by pulling out a note from his pocket carrying the message: "This is for you, Papa" dedicating the milestone to his father.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shahbaz Ahmed then got rid of Patel in the ninth over at the score of 65 runs. He played just 23 balls and hit eight sixes and a couple of fours.&nbsp; Gaikwad kept holding the fort from one end, and runs kept flowing for the CSK. He departed in the 13th over after making a crucial 42 off 28 balls. 39 runs were needed in the last five overs, and Rathi bowled a crucial 16th over, conceding just four runs and dismissed Dewald Brevis. Avesh Khan got rid of Akshat Raghuwanshi (18 off 18 balls) on the very first delivery of the next over. He conceded just five runs in the over, and Prince Yadav leaked nine runs in the next over, which left the CSK needing 21 runs in the last two overs. Prashant Veer hit a six in Avesh's next over to collect 11 runs from the over, which left LSG to defend 10 runs in the final over. With two left-handed batters at the crease, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant gave the ball to Aiden Markram, who started with a couple of wide deliveries. Then, Shivam Dube hit a couple of sixes to finish the match in style. CSK won the match with five wickets and four balls to spare. Earlier in the match, LSG made 203/8 after being asked to bat first. They got off to a quick start, putting the bowlers under immediate pressure. Josh Inglis set the tone early by smashing 16 runs off the opening over, bowled by left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein. At the end of three overs, LSG raced to 40 without loss, with Inglis leading the charge in an aggressive batting display at the top of the order. The visitors crossed the 50-run mark in the fourth over of their innings, maintaining a blistering start. It was also their joint-fastest team fifty in IPL history. Their previous quickest half-century in just 3.4 overs also came against the Chennai Super Kings in 2023. During the second ball of the fifth over, Inglis completed his half-century in just 17 balls. Inglis' 17-ball fifty was also the third-fastest for Lucknow in IPL. 17 balls taken by Inglis also makes it the fastest ever IPL fifty at Chepauk. In the following over, CSK speedster Anshul Kamboj got the much-needed breakthrough after he removed opener Mitchell Marsh for just 10 runs. Kamboj also broke the 77-run partnership for the first wicket. After the end of the sixth over, Lucknow was 91/1. The momentum shifted further when Noor Ahmad struck early in the next over, dismissing Nicholas Pooran for just one run. LSG then suffered a major double blow as Jamie Overton removed the dangerous Josh Inglis, who had smashed a rapid 85 off 33 balls, and also accounted for skipper Rishabh Pant for 15. By the end of 10 overs, LSG had slipped to 117/4 after a dominant powerplay, as CSK clawed their way back into the contest. LSG's innings continued to unravel after a costly mix-up in the 13th over saw Aiden Markram run out for just six runs, further denting their momentum after their explosive opening stand. The pressure mounted as Jamie Overton struck again in the 15th over, dismissing struggling batter Akshat Raghuwanshi for 18 runs. At that stage, LSG had slipped to 147/6, having lost control after a blazing start and losing wickets at regular intervals. After the end of the 17th over, the visitors reached 167/6. Towards the end, Himmat Singh (17 off 12 balls) and Shahbaz Ahmed's unbeaten 43 off 25 balls helped LSG to post 203/8 in 20 overs. For CSK, Jamie Overton (3/36), Anshul Kamboj (2/47), and Noor Ahmad (1/24) were among the wicket takers. With this win, CSK plunged to fifth place with six wins in 11 matches. On the other hand, LSG remain at the bottom of the points table with six points in 11 matches.&nbsp;&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

IPL 2024: MS Dhoni takes spotlight during Gaikwad-Dube partnership, tries throwing bottle at cameraman -WATCH

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) rode on Marcus Stoinis' stunning 124 not out as the KL Rahul-led side chased down 211 versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 40 of the IPL 2024 edition on Tuesday (April 23) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. After Ruturaj Gaikwad's 108* and Shivam Dube's 27-ball 66 propelled Chennai to 210-4, not many gave Lucknow a chance but Stoinis' promotion at No. 3 worked wonders for the two-year-old franchise.

Talking about Lucknow's chase, they were reduced to 33 for 2 and had a lot left to do after reeling at 88 for 3 in 11 overs. Nonetheless, Stoinis -- who batted mostly at No. 5 this season was promoted to No. 3 -- came out all guns blazing and cleverly led the run-chase to end with a 63-ball 124*, laced with 13 fours and 6 sixes at 196.83.&nbsp;

After the game, Lucknow captain Rahul explained the move to send Stoinis at No. 3. He said at the post-match presentation, "We felt like we needed to be braver and capitalise the powerplay and needed 1 power-hitter in the top-3." He further added, "I’ve realised that T20 cricket has changed in the past couple of years, 170-180 doesn’t always cut it. You need to go harder in the powerplay and the impact player rule also gives you a bit more depth."

Stoinis' best score was 58 in this season before the Australian all-rounder turned it around brilliantly versus the defending champions. After ending with the Player-of-the-Match award, he said, "It’s not just go go go, there were some bowlers we wanted to target and some bowlers we wanted to be more cautious against.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) rode on Marcus Stoinis' stunning 124 not out as the KL Rahul-led side chased down 211 versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 40 of the IPL 2024 edition on Tuesday (April 23) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) rode on Marcus Stoinis' stunning 124 not out as the KL Rahul-led side chased down 211 versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 40 of the IPL 2024 edition on Tuesday (April 23) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. After Ruturaj Gaikwad's 108* and Shivam Dube's 27-ball 66 propelled Chennai to 210-4, not many gave Lucknow a chance but Stoinis' promotion at No. 3 worked wonders for the two-year-old franchise. Talking about Lucknow's chase, they were reduced to 33 for 2 and had a lot left to do after reeling at 88 for 3 in 11 overs. Nonetheless, Stoinis -- who batted mostly at No. 5 this season was promoted to No. 3 -- came out all guns blazing and cleverly led the run-chase to end with a 63-ball 124*, laced with 13 fours and 6 sixes at 196.83.

He said at the post-match presentation, "We felt like we needed to be braver and capitalise the powerplay and needed 1 power-hitter in the top-3." He further added, "I’ve realised that T20 cricket has changed in the past couple of years, 170-180 doesn’t always cut it. You need to go harder in the powerplay and the impact player rule also gives you a bit more depth." Stoinis' best score was 58 in this season before the Australian all-rounder turned it around brilliantly versus the defending champions. After ending with the Player-of-the-Match award, he said, "It’s not just go go go, there were some bowlers we wanted to target and some bowlers we wanted to be more cautious against. There was a phase where I wasn’t able to hit the boundaries so it was great Pooran could come in and take the pressure off. Lots of ebbs and flows, just tried to keep it in control." Courtesy of Stoinis, Lucknow completed a double over CSK and are now at the fourth spot, with 10 points from eight encounters.

IPL 2024: ‘We needed to be braver’ - LSG captain Rahul explains reason behind promoting Stoinis vs CSK

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were seen in top form on Tuesday (April 23) after they chased down 211 runs against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The contest played at the MA&nbsp;Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai saw Marcus Stoinis overshadow Ruturaj&nbsp;Gaikwad’s&nbsp;ton&nbsp;to lead LSG to win. After scoring the unbeaten 124-run knock, Stoinis said he was fine about not getting central contact by Cricket Australia and wants to continue his fine run.&nbsp;

<h2>Stoinis fine despite snub</h2>

"I've&nbsp;got a great relationship with the [Australia] coach [Andrew McDonald],"&nbsp;Stoinis said.&nbsp;"Me not getting a contract, I&nbsp;knew that a while ago.&nbsp;I think it&nbsp;is great to give younger kids a crack and let them take my spot.&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;absolutely fine with that on the contract list. But on the playing front,&nbsp;obviously&nbsp;want to make sure that&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;there&nbsp;and&nbsp;that's&nbsp;also why&nbsp;it's&nbsp;so lucky for us and for me particularly to have this competition [the IPL],&nbsp;that's&nbsp;why I love it so much."

The Aussie&nbsp;star's&nbsp;124-run innings consisted of 13 fours and&nbsp;6&nbsp;sixes&nbsp;which&nbsp;helped his side down CSK for the first time on their home turf.&nbsp;He and Nicholas Pooran (34)&nbsp;were the architects of the win as LSG now&nbsp;have momentum ahead of a crucial run-in.&nbsp;

IPL 2024: I'm absolutely fine, says LSG centurion Marcus Stoinis despite getting snubbed by Cricket Australia

In match 39 of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) rode on Ruturaj Gaikwad's sublime 108* to post 210/4 versus Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday (April 23). In reply, Lucknow managed to edge past Chennai courtesy of Marcus Stoinis' 124 not out in the last over. With this, CSK have now lost two games on the trot, both to Lucknow, and need to up their game to stay alive in the playoffs race. After the game, head coach Stephen Fleming reacted to Chennai's overall campaign so far, which has been inconsistent, and admitted that the defending champions aren't 'firing on all cylinders'.

<h2>'We just got to get a little bit better'</h2>

At the post-match press conference, Fleming said, "Ruturaj did that today, so hopefully he can continue his form and the others can pick that up... We're not firing on all cylinders by any means but we're in each game and we're asking teams to play well to beat us. We just got to get a little bit better."

The New Zealander also spoke about preparing to find the perfect combination as wily pacer Mustafizur Rahman's departure nears. It is to be noted that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has not extended the NOC for the pacer and, thus, he would need to move out of the IPL on May 1. The speedster has been a vital cog in the CSK line-up, taking 12 wickets -- most from Chennai and fourth overall.

In this regard, Fleming opined, "We've got another change coming up with Mustafizur [leaving] in a couple of games. So, we're just trying to prepare and get a side that will give us the run home. We've had injuries, we've been a little bit unsettled, but the main thing is getting guys in key areas and in form. That sometimes takes a bit of time." He added, "Yes, there has been more change; some were forced upon us and some of it is form."

Chennai are out of the top four and currently occupy the fifth spot, with four wins and an equal number of losses. They remain at home for their next two games, hosting the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) respectively before being on the road. Thus, they need to make the most of their upcoming home encounters and gain more consistency.

IPL 2024, Match 39: Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants – Match preview and result prediction

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned to the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai after four years, on Monday (April 03),&nbsp;when they hosted the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 06 of IPL 2023. After a loss in the season-opener, to defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), MS Dhoni-led CSK emerged on top, at the Chepauk, with a 12-run win in a high-scoring thriller.

Dhoni had a memorable homecoming as he slammed a 3-ball 12, laced with two sixes, and used his bowlers judiciously to restrict LSG to 205 for 7 after they were off to a flying start in pursuit of 218. After CSK made 217-7, LSG were 79 for no loss in less than six overs with opener Kyle Mayers (53) going bonkers. Dhoni brought his spinners Moeen Ali (4 fior 26) and Mitchell Santer (1 for 21) to curb the run-flow and account for regular breakthroughs.

Due to Moeen-Santner's disciplined bowling, using the longer side of the ground to perfection, Dhoni didn't use star spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Meanwhile, he didn't give the ball to Moeen in CSK-GT clash. Thus, former Indian pacer RP Singh hailed Dhoni's knack for catching the pulse of the game and using his bowlers smartly; as per conditions and opposition's strengths and weaknesses.

“I would beg Mahi to give me his unmatched ability to catch the pulse of a match,” said the former left-arm pacer in a Jio Cinema programme. When it came to the question of stealing, unsurprisingly Singh -- who was part of Dhoni-led India's 2007 T20 World Cup success -- said, "There are so many things you can steal from him, but I would probably steal one of his bikes, the RX100."

At 41, Dhoni continues to make heads turn with his all-round skills. The former Indian captain has faced 10 deliveries in IPL 2023 and slammed 26 runs -- laced with three sixes a four -- and remains an asset behind the stumps due to his reflexes, keeping the inner-circle fielders proactive and helping the bowlers on which length to resort to.

Dhoni -- who ended his international career with 17,266 runs and led India to all three ICC titles -- also competed 5,000 IPL runs during CSK-LSG tie. CSK will now face Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 12 of IPL 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday evening (April 08).

IPL 2023: 'I would beg him to give...' - Ex-India pacer hails CSK captain MS Dhoni after LSG win

After losing the season-opener to defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned to their home ground, at the Chepauk, in match 05 of the IPL 2023 edition on Monday (April 03). CSK's homecoming paved the way for a thrilling 12-run win as they hosted the Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Being asked to bat first, Dhoni &amp; Co. posted a mammoth 217 for 7 riding on Ruturaj Gaikwad's 57, Devon Conway's 47, Shivam Dube's 27, Moeen Ali's 19, Ambati Rayudu's 27* and the captain's 3-ball 12. In reply, KL Rahul &amp; Co. were in the hunt, courtesy of Kyle Mayers' 53&nbsp;and Nicholas Pooran's blazing 32, but managed 205 for 7.

During CSK's innings, the Chepauk crowd patiently waited for Thala Dhoni. The former Indian captain, who is playing his last IPL most likely, came to bat with only five balls remaining and blasted two successive sixes, off Purple Cap holder Mark Wood, before departing for 12 (3). Recently, Wood recalled Dhoni's big hits and was in awe of his six-hitting prowess, especially the last of the lot.

'I bowled it exactly where KL and I decided but...'

Talking about the&nbsp;delivery, it was&nbsp;just outside off stump and climbing. Dhoni got into position quickly and pulled the ball from outside off stump and pulled it for a biggie towards deep square leg. It was an 89-metre six which sent the crowd into a frenzy.&nbsp;It was bowled at a rapid pace but Dhoni used his strong wrists and anticiapted the length early to send the ball into the stands.

"I and KL were talking. We were trying to stay calm and trying to work out how to get him out. In my mind, I was not trying to be defensive. I was actually thinking of ways to stop him from scoring runs and get him out. Unfortunately, it cost me 12 runs. But, that second shot in particular was an amazing shot. I bowled it exactly where KL and I decided. Get a bouncer and get it wide so that he has to fetch it if he is to take it. For him to hit it that far was pretty incredible," Wood said as quoted by India Today.&nbsp;

Dhoni fans will hope for more such big shots from the 41-year-old throughout the season. CSK will face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians, at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday (April 08), whereas LSG will now host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Lucknow on Friday evening (April 07).

Being asked to bat first, Dhoni & Co. posted a mammoth 217 for 7 riding on Ruturaj Gaikwad's 57, Devon Conway's 47, Shivam Dube's 27, Moeen Ali's 19, Ambati Rayudu's 27* and the captain's 3-ball 12. In reply, KL Rahul & Co. were in the hunt, courtesy of Kyle Mayers' 53 and Nicholas Pooran's blazing 32, but managed 205 for 7.

The former Indian captain, who is playing his last IPL most likely, came to bat with only five balls remaining and blasted two successive sixes, off Purple Cap holder Mark Wood, before departing for 12 (3). Recently, Wood recalled Dhoni's big hits and was in awe of his six-hitting prowess, especially the last of the lot. A treat for the Chennai crowd! 😍@msdhoni is BACK in Chennai & how 💥#TATAIPL | #CSKvLSG WATCH his incredible two sixes 🔽 pic.twitter.com/YFkOGqsFVT — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 3, 2023 × 'I bowled it exactly where KL and I decided but...' Talking about the delivery, it was just outside off stump and climbing. Dhoni got into position quickly and pulled the ball from outside off stump and pulled it for a biggie towards deep square leg. It was an 89-metre six which sent the crowd into a frenzy. It was bowled at a rapid pace but Dhoni used his strong wrists and anticiapted the length early to send the ball into the stands. "I and KL were talking. We were trying to stay calm and trying to work out how to get him out. In my mind, I was not trying to be defensive. I was actually thinking of ways to stop him from scoring runs and get him out. Unfortunately, it cost me 12 runs. But, that second shot in particular was an amazing shot. I bowled it exactly where KL and I decided. Get a bouncer and get it wide so that he has to fetch it if he is to take it. For him to hit it that far was pretty incredible," Wood said as quoted by India Today. Dhoni fans will hope for more such big shots from the 41-year-old throughout the season. CSK will face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians, at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday (April 08), whereas LSG will now host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Lucknow on Friday evening (April 07).

IPL 2023: 'For him to hit it that far was...' - Wood in awe of MS Dhoni's six-hitting prowess in CSK-LSG tie

On Monday (April 03), the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 12 runs in match 06 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition. After a loss in the season-opener, against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), CSK returned to Chepauk after 1,426 days -- following IPL 2019 -- and marked a memorable comeback at their fortress to beat Lucknow in a high-scoring encounter at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.&nbsp;

Opting to bowl first, KL Rahul &amp; Co. were off to a poor start as Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) and Devon Conway (47) stitched a whirlwind 110-run opening stand. Cameos from Shivam Dube (16-ball 27), Moeen Ali (13-ball 19), Ambati Rayudu (14-ball 27 not out) and MS Dhoni (3-ball 12) led CSK to a mammoth 217 for 7. Dhoni also completed 5,000 runs in the tournament with his blistering sixes. In reply, LSG were 73 for no loss in five overs before Moeen Ali (4 for 26) and Mitchell Santner (1 for 21) brought the Yellow Army back into the contest.&nbsp;

Kyle Mayers (22-ball 53) led the charge early in the run-chase but Lucknow fell flat after his dismissal despite handy knocks from Nicholas Pooran (18-ball 32) and some lusty blows from Krishnappa Gowtham and Mark Wood. Eventually, Lucknow managfed 205 for 7 to lose by a dozen runs.

At the post-match presentation, CSK captain Dhoni said, "Terrific high-scoring game. All of us were thinking how the wicket would be. It was the perfect first game that could happen. I thought it would be much slower. But it was a wicket where you could score runs. I was quite surprised with the wicket. But we'll have to see if we can produce a wicket like this game after game. Fast bowling we need to slightly improve. Need to bowl according to the conditions. WHat is important is to keep an eye as to what the opposition bowlers are doing. One more thing is they'll have to bowl no no-balls or extra wides. Or they'll have to play under a new captain. It will be my second warning and then I'll be off. Only reason we've scored those runs is if the surface is nice."

IPL 2023: Updated points table after Chennai Super Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk

The MS Dhoni-starrer Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned to their home ground, i.e. the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, after 1,426 days when they hosted the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 6 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition on Monday evening (April 03). After a loss in the season-opener, the Yellow Army resorted to home comforts to beat Lucknow by 12&nbsp;runs.

Opting to bowl first, Rahul-led Lucknow didn't have the best of starts. Ruturaj Gaikwad, coming on the back of a splendid 50-ball 92 versus the Gujarat Titans (GT), continued his sublime form to stitch an impressive 110-run stand for the first wicket. Gaikwad fell for a 31-ball 57, at 183.87, whereas Devon Conway departed for an impressive 47.

As a result, CSK posted a mammoth 217 for 7 with Ravi Bishnoi (3 for 28) and Mark Wood (3 for 49) chipping in with regular scalps.

In reply, LSG were off to a blinder.

CSK pacers were sloppy but Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner brought the side back just before the end of the powerplay overs.

Moeen Ali's 4 for 26, removing Mayers, Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya, led the charge for Dhoni &amp; Co.

“When Dhoni came out to bat, there was a buzz around the ground. Well done CSK and Dhoni for winning this match,” he said.

On Monday (April 03), the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned to their home ground, i.e. the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, after 1,426 days (following IPL 2019).&nbsp;Thala MS Dhoni made the occasion more special courtesy of his 3-ball 12 in the Yellow Army's IPL 2023 clash versus Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

After Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) and Devon Conway (47) got CSK off to a flyer, Chennai continued to pile runs with vital contributions from Shivam Dube (16-ball 27), Moeen Ali's 13-ball 19 and Ambati Rayudu's 14-ball 27*. Dhoni came on to bat in the final over, with five balls left, and set the stage on fire by taking on the Purple Cap holder Mark Wood. The right-hander struck two big sixes to enter the 5,000-run club in tournament history. Here are&nbsp;his big shots:

Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. After ending his international career with 17,266 runs, 359 sixes, 634 catches, and 195 stumpings, he is most likely playing&nbsp;his last IPL in the 2023 edition. He has not only led India to all three ICC titles but also guided CSK to four IPL and two Champions League (CLT20 trophies).

On Monday (April 03), the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned to their home ground, i.e. the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, after 1,426 days (following IPL 2019). Thala MS Dhoni made the occasion more special courtesy of his 3-ball 12 in the Yellow Army's IPL 2023 clash versus Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). As KL Rahul-led LSG opted to bowl first, CSK posted a mammoth 217 for 7 and Dhoni's two big sixes in the last over made him the seventh batter to enter the 5,000-run club in the mega event. After Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) and Devon Conway (47) got CSK off to a flyer, Chennai continued to pile runs with vital contributions from Shivam Dube (16-ball 27), Moeen Ali's 13-ball 19 and Ambati Rayudu's 14-ball 27*. Dhoni came on to bat in the final over, with five balls left, and set the stage on fire by taking on the Purple Cap holder Mark Wood. The right-hander struck two big sixes to enter the 5,000-run club in tournament history. Here are his big shots: A treat for the Chennai crowd! 😍@msdhoni is BACK in Chennai & how 💥#TATAIPL | #CSKvLSG WATCH his incredible two sixes 🔽 pic.twitter.com/YFkOGqsFVT — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 3, 2023 × In addition, Dhoni became the second-fastest Indian to enter the 5k-run club in the IPL. 1) Suresh Raina - 3,619 balls 2) MS Dhoni - 3,692 balls 3) Rohit Sharma - 3,817 4) Virat Kohli - 3,827 Overall, Dhoni's run-tally in the IPL stood at 4,992 when he came on to bat and his stroke-filled cameo made him join the 5k-run club, comprising Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, and AB de Villiers. He is the seventh-highest run-getter in the IPL. Top-ten run-getters in IPL: 1) Virat Kohli - 6,706 2) Shikhar Dhawan - 6,284 3) David Warner - 5,937 4) Rohit Sharma - 5,880 5) Suresh Raina - 5,528 6) AB de Villiers - 5,162 7) MS Dhoni - 5,004* 8) Chris Gayle - 4,965 9) Robin Uthappa - 4,952 10) Dinesh Karthik - 4,376 Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. After ending his international career with 17,266 runs, 359 sixes, 634 catches, and 195 stumpings, he is most likely playing his last IPL in the 2023 edition. He has not only led India to all three ICC titles but also guided CSK to four IPL and two Champions League (CLT20 trophies). Will the Yellow Army get their first win in IPL 2023 on Monday and go on to lift their fifth title? Only time will tell...
