As expected, there was a huge roar when the former CSK skipper came out to bat at number nine in the 19th over but the joy was short-lived for the fans with Harshal Patel becoming the first bowler to dismiss Dhoni in IPL 2024. This was also only the fourth golden duck for Dhoni in his much-celebrated IPL career. It was a brilliant delivery from Harshal that uprooted the batter’s stumps with even the 42-year-old appreciating the delivery while walking back to the dugout. Interestingly enough, Punjab Kings wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma also bagged a golden duck with pacer Simarjeet Singh getting rid of him in the 10th over of the innings. Overall, this was only the second time that both wicketkeeper-batters bagged a golden duck in the an IPL match. Dhoni and Jitesh registered this unwanted record after 12 years with the first such instance happening way back in IPL 2012. Dinesh Karthik and Sreevats Goswami were the ones to do it for the first time in the MI vs RR clash 12 years ago.

IPL 2024, PBKS vs CSK: Punjab are still in race for playoffs, says optimistic Harshal Patel

Danijones03 mins

Harshal Patel said that PBKS are still in with a good chance of making their way through to the playoffs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. On Sunday, May 5, PBKS lost to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK by 28 runs at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. With the defeat, Punjab kept languishing in the bottom half of the table with 8 points and a net run rate of -0.187 thanks to wins in 4 out of 11 matches. With 3 games left in the league stage, PBKS are in a must-win position from here on. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule ‘We can beat any team’ “We just need to play good cricket. In terms of playoffs race, in 13 years of playing in the IPL, I have never seen teams out of the race or qualified before 13 and 14 games are done. So, we are still in the race,” Harshal told in the post-match press conference. “As a team, we know that when we play high quality cricket, and everyone does their job, we play our roles well. We know that we can beat any team on any ground,” Harshal added. After opting to bowl first, PBKS restricted their opponents to 167 for 9 in 20 overs. Harshal was impressive after he got the wickets of Daryl Mitchell, Shardul Thakur and MS Dhoni to finish with figures of 4-0-24-3. PBKS faltered in the batting department and were restricted to 139 for 9. Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh scored 30 and 27 runs respectively, but failed to take their team home. Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets and did not let the Punjab batters get away. The Kings will next be up against Faf du Plessis’ RCB on Thursday, May 9 in Dharamsala.

Moorthy Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja admitted that they fell short by 15-20 runs but lauded their disciplined bowling show in securing a convincing 28-run over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League in Dharamsala on May 5. Defending 167 for nine, the five-time champions restricted Punjab Kings to 139/9 with Jadeja claiming a match-winning 3/20, while Tushar Deshpande (2/35) and impact sub Simarjeet Singh (2/16) also featured among wickets. Mitchell Santner, who was playing his first match of the season, was also brilliant during his tidy 1/10 from three overs. “We thought we were 15-20 runs short but we did not bowl loose balls in the power play and in the middle overs,” Jadeja said at the post-match presentation. “The fast bowlers bowled well in the power play. Tushar got two important wickets and then Mitch and me did the job in the middle overs.” Jadeja struck a crucial 26-ball 43 and the knock came at a time when PBKS were chipping away with regular wickets. Jadeja said it was tricky batting in the middle overs. “It was a day game, so the wicket was slow. As usual, it was expected because it was so hot. “It (the pitch) always seems flat in the power play. But when the ball gets old, it does not always come on. When playing at a new venue, you don’t know how much it will turn or stop. “My role as a batter is to build partnerships and then play the big shots towards the end. Sometimes, when we lose wickets in the power play, we do not get momentum. In the matches we win, we play all phases well,” said Jadeja. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad made a 21-ball 32, while Daryl Mitchell looked in full flow in a 19-ball 30, taking the team to 60/1 in the power play. Everyone believed that the wicket was slow and the ball was coming off slow. There was low bounce too. With the start we got, we could have pushed to 180-200. We lost wickets in consecutive balls and then felt 160-170 was probably ten odd runs short,” said Gaikwad. It’s not too late for Simarjeet: Gaikwad Simarjeet impressed with his pace after he came in as an Impact Player replacing Ajinkya Rahane. “I don’t know what he is doing but in the pre-season we had, he was bowling at around 150s. “We had Deepak (Chahar), Shardul (Thakur), Tushar (Deshpande) plus (Matheesha) Pathirana and Fizz (Mustafizur Rahman), so he did not get too many chances. Nothing is late, he got a game today. “We were thinking of sending an impact batter but we thought the impact batter would score 10-15 runs but the bowler might get us two-three wickets,” Gaikwad said.

Image Source : BCCI/IPL MS Dhoni may have gotten out for a duck with the bat against the Punjab Kings but achieved a huge record in the field in the IPL It may not have been the outing with the bat for MS Dhoni, which the fans were hoping for in Dharamsala, however, the former CSK skipper and IPL legend did achieve a huge record in his name against the Punjab Kings on Sunday, May 5, this time in the field. Dhoni, who got out for a golden duck after walking out to bat at No 9 for the first time in his T20 career, became the only player in IPL history to get to 150 catches. Dhoni achieved the feat after Jitesh Sharma hit a rising delivery from Simarjeet Singh straight into the hands of the keeper. Dhoni now has 146 catches as a wicketkeeper in the IPL and four as a fielder. Dinesh Karthik is second on the list with 144 grabs to his name, with 136 of them coming behind the stumps with the gloves. The third on the list is also a keeper-batter in AB de Villiers, who has 118 catches to his name in the tournament with 90 of them being as fielder. Most catches in IPL 150 – MS Dhoni (146 as wk, 4 as fielder; CSK, RPS) 144 – Dinesh Karthik (136 as wk, 8 as fielder; RCB, DD, GL, KXIP, MI, KKR)118 – AB de Villers (90 as fielder, 28 as wk; RCB, DD)113 – Virat Kohli (RCB)109 – Suresh Raina (CSK, GL) It was a solid bowling effort from the Super Kings led by Ravindra Jadeja, with the likes of Tushar Deshpande, Mitchell Santner and Simarjeet Singh also doing their bit as the visitors defended a middling total of 167. It was a Jadeja show all through as he lifted his side’s score with a 26-ball 43 and then took a three-fer with the ball to peg Punjab back, even further.

MS Dhoni: WATCH: Dharamsala crowd goes on ‘mute mode’ as CSK hero MS Dhoni falls for a golden duck | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: When Shardul Thakur was bowled out by Harshal Patel, the entire crowd at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala erupted in anticipation of the arrival of MS Dhoni at the crease. The crowd expected thrilling performances and powerful sixes from the legendary cricketer, but their excitement was quickly dampened when Dhoni was dismissed for a golden duck. Harshal Patel’s slower yorker caught Dhoni off guard, uprooting the stumps. This was the first time Dhoni left the field without scoring in IPL 2024. WATCH: “Wicket was on drier side. I have too much respect for him to celebrate when I get him out (on Dhoni),” Harshal said after PBKS restricted CSK to 167. “One of the advantages of playing a day game is that the square is quite rough. So the ball starts reversing. In my first over it was reversing. It’s all about the feel of that delivery (slower one). More you bowl the better you get. Most batters don’t pick it. Have been practicing in the nets, and when it comes out it gives you great results,” he said.Dhoni was also run out on the final ball of the innings in CSK’s previous match against Punjab Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.In the 11 matches he has played so far, Dhoni has scored 110 runs at an average of 55. Dhoni, who handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of the IPL 2024 season, guided CSK to five IPL titles.

'Rinku Singh is coming': Shivam Dube shown no mercy after back-to-back golden ducks in IPL 2024 post T20WC selection

‘Rinku Singh is coming’: Shivam Dube shown no mercy after back-to-back golden ducks in IPL 2024 post T20WC selection

Danijones04 mins

Shivam Dube was probably among the happiest last Tuesday when he made the cut to the 15-member India squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup squad on the back of his stellar show in the 2023 and ongoing 2024 editions of the Indian Premier League. However, over the next five days, Dube incurred back-to-back golden ducks for Chennai Super Kings, leaving fans worried as they sent the left-hander a ‘Rinku Singh’ warning. Shivam Dube registered back-to-back ducks in IPL 2024 in a space of five days Dube’s position in the T20 World Cup squad was never in doubt after a stunning show in the opening half of the IPL 2024 season, in addition to the back-to-back fifties he scored against Afghanistan in India’s last and final T20I home series before the World Cup earlier in January. He had also picked two wickets in the contest. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Furthermore, India captain Rohit Sharma went a step ahead to even hint at Dube’s selection in the playing XI for India at the World Cup, purely owing to his power-hitting, although he also expects the CSK star to role his arms for a few overs. “We needed someone to come in middle overs and play that role. We picked Shivam Dube based on what he has done in IPL and a few games he played before IPL,” he said in a press conference held at BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Thursday. “I will be expecting if we need Shivam to ball a few overs, he will. Same with Hardik, he has come and bowled whenever needed. All-rounders must do that whatever their role is.” However, since the big announcement on Tuesday, Dube incurred back-to-back dismissals for golden duck, both against Punjab Kings. He was undone by Harpreet Brar on May 1 in Chepauk and by Rahul Chahar on Sunday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. The dismissals did not go down well with fans on social media who were quick to point out that a certain Rinku, who is part of the reserves list, is in waiting to make the main squad for the World Cup. Following Dube’s dismissal, Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja did try to pull things back with the latter scoring 43, but CSK only managed to score 167 for nine in 20 overs. Rahul and Harshal Patel were the pick of the bowlers with both picking three wickets each.

Ruturaj Gaikwad equals all-time unwanted captaincy record in IPL after losing toss in PBKS vs CSK clash – India TV

Ruturaj Gaikwad equals all-time unwanted captaincy record in IPL after losing toss in PBKS vs CSK clash – India TV

Image Source : BCCI/IPL Sam Curran and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has levelled an all-time unwanted captaincy record in the history of the Indian Premier League during the toss ceremony in the Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings clash at HPCA Dharamsala. Gaikwad’s CSK were asked to bat first after PBKS skipper Sam Curran won the toss in the first match of the season at the picturesque venue. While CSK were forced to make an unforced change to their Playing XI due to the unavailability of Mustafizur Rahman, Gaikwad has equalled an unwanted record in the history of the tournament. His love affair with losing the tosses has continued even in the game against PBKS. Gaikwad has now equalled the record of most tosses lost in the first 11 matches of an IPL.  The toss-loss against PBKS was the tenth instance of Gaikwad losing the flip-of-the-coin in the ongoing season of the tournament. He levelled the record earlier held by only Sanju Samson, who lost 10 tosses as well in Rajasthan Royals’ first 10 games of the season. Most tosses lost in the first 11 games of an IPL season 10 – RR in 2022 10 – CSK in 2024 9 – MI in 2011 9 – DC in 2013 Notably after winning the toss against CSK, Curran wanted to chase to have a better look at the surface. “We’re going to bowl. Day game, try and see how it plays and chase it down. We’ve got the same team. We’ve had two really good wins with the same team. Conditions should be fairly even throughout, it’s about batting, bowling and fielding well,” Curran, who is the stand-in skipper in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, said at the toss. “We’ve just stuck to our process and doing little things right. We don’t look at the track record of the opposition, we focus on ourselves and see what we can do right. This season there have been a lot of injuries, flus and forced changes so we’ve had to tinker with our team. I’d say losing 10 tosses but winning 5 games is a positive. Santner comes in place of Fizz,” Gaikwad said after losing yet another toss.

Chennai have lost three of their last four games, injury to Deepak Chahar will not help, Mustafizur Rahman has already left and the skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is yet to win a toss. In Dharamsala however, the toss won’t matter much, especially since it’s a day game and a fresh wicket with small boundaries is likely to help the batters across the 40 overs. Punjab still have the destiny in their own hands and they have to believe that they can make a difference, given the table fluctuations so much so that, if they win on Sunday, three teams will be with 10 points in 11 games. Delhi already have played 11 matches with five wins and six losses and both Punjab and Chennai will be on the same level as the Rishabh Pant-led side.
