Led by Ali’s madness, CSK finished with 75/1 after powerplay. This is one of the most breathtaking innings in recent times.
But Rajasthan returned to the match after the powerplay and took three quick wickets of Devon Conway, Jagadeesan and Rayudu.
As expected, Twitter lit up after the innings. Here are some of the best responses.
Earlier, CSK won the toss, and M S Dhoni opted to bat. The toss was not just about who would bat and bowl as Dhoni denied any retirement rumours. He also confirmed that he would play in the next IPL It would not be fair to say no to Chennai as a season.
When asked if he would continue to play in the IPL, Dhoni said, “Definitely, because it would be unfair to say no to Chennai. It would not be good for CSK fans to do so.”
“Mumbai is a place where I got a lot of affection. Hopefully next year the teams travel and this will be an opportunity to say thank you to all the places. Regarding my stay in IPL, it is difficult to say what is going to happen in two years.
“We will bat first. You want to give enough time to the batsmen looking at our combination. Just want them to express themselves. Only one change – Rayudu for Shivam,” he said.
“I want to groom the players, but also give them ample opportunity to develop.” Just to give the players time, we’re not playing a one-sided team, so it’s a little bit of both.”
