Even though the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has just begun, there have already been numerous highlights. From the continuous dominance of the Gujarat Titans to the injury woes of other teams, there have been a few low points for the franchises in the competition.
Nevertheless, there is one part of the competition that supporters are most excited about: the return of the great Chennai captain, MS Dhoni.
After suffering a season-opening loss to the Gujarat Titans, the Chennai Super Kings made their long-awaited return to the MA Chidambaram Stadium for their second game, where supporters were eager to see the four-time champions in action again.
Playing against the Lucknow Super Giants, Chennai batted first and got off to a fantastic start with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway’s superb knocks. MS Dhoni, the captain, batted in the 20th over of the first inning and smashed back-to-back sixes.
As a result of Dhoni smashing the balls out of the park, the audience went into a frenzy, and JioCinema, the online streaming partner of the IPL 2023, registered a record 1.7 crore users watching the live feed.
Chennai Super Kings prepare for an exciting matchup with Mumbai Indians
The four-time champions have now won one and lost two IPL 2023 games. Gaikwad has been one of the leading candidates for the IPL Orange Cap as an opener for the Yellow Army.
After overcoming Lucknow in the sixth round of the competition, CSK will now prepare for an exciting showdown against archrivals the Mumbai Indians on April 8 in Mumbai. Rohit Sharma and his teammates will enter the match following a loss to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. When the five-time winners face Chennai, Rohit will be hoping for their first win of the season.
