After the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) played poorly against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday, April 11, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu made fun of the team’s interim captain, MS Dhoni. Due to an elbow injury that has prevented Ruturaj Gaikwad from participating in the tournament, CSK has appointed Dhoni as captain.
In front of their home crowd at Chepauk, the 43-year-old’s return to the position was not good as CSK lost by eight wickets to Akinkya Rahane and company after a terrible batting performance. In the history of the tournament, this is the first time CSK has dropped five straight games, including three at home.
As CSK managed to score just 103 runs in a high-intensity match, MS Dhoni once again came to bat below all-rounders R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
He managed to score just one run before being removed by Sunil Narine.
Sher aaya, hype thi, badi excitement thi, par khoda pahaad nikli chuhiya, and Arey Dhoni aa rahe hain ji jaise sher aaya. (They said that the lion and Dhoni were on their way. There was a great deal of enthusiasm and hype. However, there was nothing to observe,” Sidhu stated during the live broadcast.
