<p><strong>Will Dhoni play in the IPL-2024?</strong>: Former Indian team captain and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni usually stays away from social media platforms. But a Facebook post by Dhoni created a sensation on social media, and as soon as he shared the post, the suspense among the fans increased. Through the post, he has hinted at a new role for himself in the Indian Premier League 2024, for which he is desperate.</p>



<p>Dhoni wrote on Facebook, 'Can't wait for the new season and new 'role'. Stay tuned! Mahi, 43, did not specify his new role in his post. In such a situation, fans' suspense has increased.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will Dhoni play in the IPL-2024? </h3>



<p>Mahendra Singh Dhoni and CSK fans are giving different reactions after Dhoni's post on social media. Many fans believe that Dhoni can play the role of mentor in IPL 2024. Some people believe that he will promote himself in the batting order. The way Dhoni is paying attention to his fitness and growing his hair, it does not seem that he will not play in the 17th season of the IPL.</p>



<p>Dhoni was seen practicing at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi a few days ago. He also said after winning the final in IPL 2023 that "he will play for all the fans for one last year.". In such a situation, all the fans who are claiming that they cannot be seen playing IPL this season are proved wrong here. There are high chances that he can promote himself in the batting order. Because all the fans are crazy about Dhoni's batting, especially his helicopter shot.</p>



<p>Dhoni last played international cricket against New Zealand on August 15, 2020, after which he said goodbye to international cricket forever. Now 42-year-old Dhoni is seen playing in a yellow jersey only in the IPL. During his captaincy, he has made Chennai Super Kings the IPL winner five times. Recently, his team won the trophy by defeating the Gujarat Titans in the 2022 final.</p>

<p>Mahi is the only captain to have won three ICC trophies: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. He has won five IPL trophies. He is the only Indian captain to play as wicketkeeper in 60 Tests, 200 One-Day Internationals, and 72 Twenty20 Internationals. For Team India, he scored 4876 runs in 90 tests, 10773 runs in 350 one-day internationals, and 1617 runs in 98 T20s. He has scored 5082 runs in 250 IPL games. This includes 142 catches and 42 stumps.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/indian-premier-league/ipl-points-table/">IPL Points Table</a>:</strong> A New Day and another run-fest in Hyderabad and Sunrisers Hyderabad have chased down 214 runs in 19 overs. This win helped them strengthen their number 1 spot in the latest updated IPL Points table 2024.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="srh-vs-pbks-match-highlights"><strong>SRH vs PBKS Match Highlights</strong></h2>



<p>Batting first, the two openers of Punjab Kings- Atharva Taide and Prabhsimran provided a stable and aggressive start and stitched up a 97-run partnership for the first wicket. Prabhsimran impressed the management with a 45-ball 71 and Roussow also played a crucial knock of 32 runs in just 15 balls. Punjab Kings posted a big total of 214 runs against the home team SRH.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/SRH-vs-PBKS-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table (Updated) On 19th MAY after SRH vs PBKS, Sunrisers Hyderabad Move to 2nd Spot in Updated Rankings" class="wp-image-134312" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p> Arshdeep Singh lit up the competition by knocking out Travis Head first ball. However, Rahut Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma added runs for SRH and the finishing touches by Nitish Reddy and Klaasen turned the game to the side of the home team. They lost a few wickets in the process but end justifies the mean. SRH defeated PBKS by 4 wickets.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rcb-vs-csk-match-summary"><strong>RCB vs CSK Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>It was the kind of match where even fans were indifferent about whom to support, it was Virat Kohli vs Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself. Ruturaj won the flip of the coin, which he is not used to, and asked RCB to bat first. The weather websites had forecasted light rain in the early stage of the match and that exactly happened. </p>



<p>Virat and Faf made the most out of the first three overs of powerplay which were bowled by pacers. They scored 31 off the first 3 overs and then rain interrupted for a short time and luckily there was no deduction in the overs per side. The next three overs in the powerplay were bowled by spinners and they were getting huge assistance off the surface which had Kohli and Faf on the check. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/faf-1.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table (Updated) On 19th MAY after RCB vs CSK" class="wp-image-134285" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Unlucky Faf runout at the bowler's End (Image-BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The two openers added 78 runs for the first wicket and Virat Kohli was caught at the long-on at the personal score of 47 runs in 29 balls. As Virat left the crease, Faf took the assault and started bashing boundaries with Rajat Patidar who also went on full flow. Soon, Faf fell to an unfortunate runout at the bowler's end.</p>



<p>Green then combined with Patidar and took the CSK bowling by storm. He was there to stamp his arrival and he did so in fashion. With small cameos from Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell, RCB reached 218 runs and they needed to restrict CSK under 200 or they were going out of the tournament. </p>



<p>The chase started in animated style as Glenn Maxwell removed the opener skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad in the very first ball of the chase. This was quite enough to light up the crowd and soon Yash dismissed Daryl Mitchell courtesy to Virat's brilliant catch. The RCB were in absolute control of the match.</p>



<p>Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra were in the crease but they didn't allow RCB to put pressure on them as they found boundaries in the crucial stages. CSK scored 58 runs even after losing two early wickets in the batting powerplay. </p>



<p>Rahane came with positive intent and it reflected in his shots and confident drives and so was Rachin Ravindra. CSK posted 85 runs in the first 9 overs when Lockie Ferguson struck in his first ball and dismissed Ajinkya Rahane (33).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/381144-1-1.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table (Updated) On 19th MAY after RCB vs CSK," class="wp-image-134289" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rachin celebrating his half-century (Image-BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rachin Ravindra stood at the other end and posted a brilliant 61 off just 37 balls but he also lost his wicket in the crucial moment. Shivam Dube was struggling to even bat a ball and Green ended his 15-ball 7-run struggle. Santner also went back soon after him.</p>



<p>Dhoni and Jadeja were in the crease and both gave it their all in the final overs. CSK needed 17 runs in the final over to qualify for the playoffs even if they lose the game. Dhoni hit Yash Dayal for a 110-meter six in the first ball of the over but Yash dismissed MSD the next ball. 10 runs in the last two balls to qualify for CSK and Yash Dayal didn't allow a single run. </p>



<p>RCB defeated CSK by 27 runs and out of nowhere, they have made it to the playoffs of the TATA IPL 2024.</p>
