Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel became the first bowler to dismiss MS Dhoni in the 2024 Indian Premier League season, sending the legendary batter back to the pavilion for a golden duck. Dhoni, batting at an unusual No. 9 position for Chennai Super Kings, fell to Patel’s expertly executed slower yorker, marking his fourth golden duck in IPL history and his first since the 2023 final. Despite the significant achievement, Patel remained humble and respectful, expressing his admiration for Dhoni in a post-match interview.

MS Dhoni, renowned for his exceptional cricketing skills, has also played a crucial role in developing young talents throughout his career. Since becoming the Indian captain in 2007, Dhoni has mentored players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, leading them to remarkable success. His nurturing abilities extend to the IPL, where he has guided Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to five title wins, transforming players like Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja into world-class cricketers. Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, now a prominent member of his national team, credits Dhoni for recognizing his talent and supporting his development. Pathirana’s success at CSK and his subsequent national debut highlight Dhoni’s keen eye for talent and his ability to foster their growth.

Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu has clarified his comments about the difference in culture between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), stating that his words were taken out of context.

However, in a recent post on Twitter, Rayudu said that he meant no disrespect to MI and that he loved his time at the franchise. He also praised MI’s processes and positive pressure environment, which he said has helped produce some of the best talent in Indian cricket. Rayudu played for MI for eight years, winning two IPL titles and one Champions League T20 title. He played for CSK for six years, winning one IPL title.

The landscape of T20 chases is shifting, with teams no longer relying solely on late-innings power-hitting.

The likes of Jos Buttler have also mastered this art, demonstrating that even 200-plus scores are now vulnerable.

CSK head coach Stephan Fleming acknowledges areas of discomfort and is seeking the right combination of players to improve the team’s performance.
