<h2>Post Match Presentation:</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Eoin-Morgan-Post-Match-KKR-vs-CSK.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20445" width="592" height="332"/><figcaption>Eoin Morgan KKR skipper CSK vs KKR (Image - BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure></div>



Eoin Morgan, KKR skipper: I think we played really well there, just on the wrong side of the toss. The dew from about the 8th over was really challenging. We improved on our batting (as compared to the previous games). Our bowlers absolutely gave it their everything. We have one game left, and still have a very little chance. We felt we were right in the game (at the halfway stage). Nitish Rana kicked on and showed his class once again. It was actually a good day for us with the bat. They (Narine and Varun) are two fantastic spinners. I can't fault anyone's effort tonight. He (Nagarkoti) didn't have enough runs to defend. He's a young guy, he will take it on the chin and move forward. Looking forward to the next game against Royals.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Ravindra-Jadeja-against-KKR-hitting-six-1024x697.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20446" width="663" height="451"/><figcaption>Ravindra Jadeja CSK (Image Source - BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure></div>



Ravindra Jadeja: I was hitting the ball well in the nets and kept thinking about that and I managed to do that in the match. We (me and Curran) were talking about going after the bowlers, and in the last 12 balls you don't think much. Just see the ball and hit the ball. I was looking to not loose my shape, and I knew if they bowled in my arc, I could hit a six. Winning every game always means a lot to us.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/MS-Dhoni-Post-Match-CSK-VS-KKR.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20447" width="628" height="353"/><figcaption>MS Dhoni CSK Image (Source-BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure></div>



MS Dhoni, CSK skipper: I think it was one game in which the climax went in our favour. Lot of credit to the guys. This season he (Jadeja) has been fantastic. He has been the only one in our team who has scored in the death overs. He needed somebody else and that would have been good for us. We want to give games to people who haven't played. Ruturaj has shown the talent that he is. He came in and got positive with Covid. We didn't have much time to have a look at him. He is one of the talented youngsters going around. He is not someone who speaks a lot. Once you go inside, you are the only one handling the pressure. When we made him play the first game, he stepped out and got out. But one ball is never enough. I think it is very exciting how he has grabbed his chances. It is very important to be relevant in the tournament. It was very important for us to give it our best. We are not in a position to qualify for the next stage but we have had a glimpse of people who can play for us in the coming seasons.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/CSK-vs-KKR-IPL-2020-Ruturaj-Gaikwad-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20448" width="653" height="367"/><figcaption>Ruturaj Gaikwad (Image Source BCCI/IPL)</figcaption></figure></div>



Ruturaj Gaikwad, Man of the Match: It is feeling good. Pretty confident as well. I have backed myself. Both the innings when I got out early, I knew the situation was a little tough. Covid has made me tough. As our captain says, face every situation with a smile. I stayed positive and didn't think much about the future.

IPL2020: CSK vs KXIP Match Preview, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips. Dream11 IPL2020: Match no 53 CSK vs KXIP Match Preview, Probable 11, Fantasy Tips, Who will win?



<h2>Preview(CSK vs KXIP):</h2>



Dream11 IPL 2020: Match no 53, Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab will be held at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The match will be played on Sunday, 1st November, at usual timings of day games 15:30 IST (10:00 GMT), 14:00 LOCAL.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Chennai-Super-Kings-CSK-1024x709.jpg" alt="Chennai Super Kings Celebrating Wicket (CSK)" class="wp-image-20517" /><figcaption>Chennai Super Kings(CSK) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



CSK will lock horns with KXIP on Sunday to play their last IPL match of season 2020. CSK has already played 13 games so far and they cannot qualify for playoffs this season due to their disheartening performance, so the game against KXIP will be their returning point to the home. KXIP is still in the hopes of getting qualified for the business end of the tournament. Last loss against Rajasthan Royals have dragged their campaign a little backwards, however, there are still some hopes.



MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have nothing to lose now. They must be eying to finish the tournament on a happy note. They have found a bit of stability in recent few games but their opening pair is still an issue to resolve. Last match hero Ravindra Jadeja has been one of the consistent performers for CSK this season. The southpaw snatched victory from the mouth of KKR by hitting 2 consecutive sixes in last 2 balls.&nbsp;



Ruturaj Gaikwad would definitely want to carry his sublime form of recent past to the last game of tournament too. He has played 2 brilliant knocks for CSK in last 2 games against RCB and KKR. He is one of the positives that CSK will carry in 2021 edition of IPL.



Sam Curran has been so flexible and at times destructive for the opponents. He managed to play every possible role in the team to make his side win.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/10/Kings-XI-Punjab-KXIP-1024x709.jpg" alt="Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)" class="wp-image-20518" /><figcaption>Kings XI Punjab(KXIP) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



The match against Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab would definitely want to forget that game as they shattered their match winning streak very comfortably. Batting of Kings looked solid being led by the leading run-scorer of the tournament. KL Rahul has been undefeated till now in the race of Orange Cap.&nbsp;



This will be a must-win game for Kings XI Punjab, but this will not be enough to satisfy their Playoffs campaign. A lot depends upon other team stats. There is a lot of permutation and Combination to do for the management.&nbsp;



The flamboyant Chris&nbsp; Gayle is been in good touch. Chris Gayle scored 99 runs in the last match against Rajasthan Royals but that was not enough. Kings desperately need to work in their bowling department. They have been leaking runs in the middle. At this high stage, this should be corrected in order to keep their hopes alive.



<h3>Head to Head (CSK vs KXIP):</h3>



Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab have met 22 times, and CSK has the wood over Kings XI Punjab. CSK have won 13 games with a win percentage of 61.36% while KXIP has 8 wins in their pocket.&nbsp;



In the previous encounter of both the teams (CSK and KXIP) in the 2020 edition of IPL, CSK crushed KXIP by 10 wickets.

Dhoni in the match between CSK and KXIP cleared the rumors about his last game in IPL. During the toss, former New Zealand cricketer and present commentator asked Dhoni after winning the toss, if this is going to be his last appearance in IPL. Dhoni firmly had two words simple answer ?Definitely Not.?

MS Dhoni and Co. did not have a great season this year, probably the worst. CSK is already out of the tournament and will play their last game of the 2020 edition of IPL today. This is the most unusual yeat for the CSK franchise this year, this is the first time in 13 years of IPL that MS Dhoni and Co. will not be a part of Qualifiers.&nbsp;



Chennai Super Kings, definitely this year were not at their best. Also, MS Dhoni, this year is still quite with the bat. He has just 200 runs under his belt in 13 games. This led the fans into rumors that this is probably the last year of MS Dhoni in yellow.&nbsp;



Earlier, this year MS Dhoni announced silent retirement from International cricket(ODI and T20I). Dhoni has himself cleared that he felt a bit undercooked. He has not played a single game since last Cricket World Cup(ODI) and then COVID locked them inside their houses, so they have been away from the field for a long time now.

CSK CEO previously clarified that Dhoni will be in the Yellow squad in 2021 IPL too.



?Yes, definitely. I am very confident that Dhoni will lead CSK in 2021. He has won three titles for us in the IPL. This is the first year we have not qualified for the playoffs. No other team has done that. One bad year does not mean we will have to change everything," K ?Viswanathan to TOI.

IPL2020, CSK vs KXIP Highlights: Chennai pulls Punjab out of the tournament, as they registered a third consecutive win. Dream11 IPL 2020, Chennai pulls Punjab out of the tournament, as they registered a third consecutive win in 53rd Match of Indian Premier League.



<h2>Highlights(CSK vs KXIP):</h2>



Ruturaj Gaikwad shines with the bat for Chennai Super Kings, as they clinched their third consecutive victory in their last game of the tournament. CSK hasn?t had a good start to the season with multiple back to back losses, but they somehow found the right playing 11 and now they have ended their tournament on a high. Three back to back wins against RCB, KKR and KXIP.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Chennai-Super-Kings-CSK-1024x709.jpg" alt="Chennai Super Kings(CSK) celebrating after wicket" class="wp-image-20605" /><figcaption>Chennai Super Kings(CSK) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Earlier, MS Dhoni won the toss and choose to field first to take into consideration of the dew factor. KL Rahul led KXIP looked in good touch in the first few overs. Mayank Aggarwal was back into the squad, both the openers KL Rahul and Mayank Aggarwal were successful in giving a steady start. But Lungi Ngidi removed both Mayank Aggarwal(26 off 15) and KL Rahul(29 off 27).



CSK bowlers didn?t allow any batsmen to get settled and play the knock. Wickets were falling in succession and KXIP were in the backfoot now. Deepak Hodda showed his class against the lethal bowling of CSK. He scored 62 off 30 balls, hitting 3 fours and 4 maximums in his innings. His under pressure knock of 62 guided KXIP to a total of 153 - 6 in 20 overs.



However, the Chennai bowling attack was good throughout. Lungi Ngidi picked 3 wickets, Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja and Imran Tahir picked one wicket each to finish on a high.



MS Dhoni-led CSK who was earlier struggling with opening combination, however, got a perfect pair now. Faf-du plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad batted sensibly at the start and both made a brilliant 82 runs stand for the opening wicket for Chennai. Later on, in the innings, Chris Jordan was able to pick Faf-du plessis when he was about to reach his half-century. Faf scored 48 runs from 34 balls.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/KINGS-XI-PUNJAB-2020-1024x709.jpg" alt="Kings XI Punjab(KXIP) celebrating wicket" class="wp-image-20606" /><figcaption>Kings XI Punjab(KXIP) | Image -BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Ruturaj was standing tall on the other end. He was unbeaten on 62 off 49 balls and Ambati Rayudu also contributed by 30 runs in 30 balls to seal the match for CSK. As they win their last match of the season by 9 wickets.



One main factor for CSK in the past three consecutive wins has been Ruturaj Gaikwad?s performances. The young guy scored consecutive half-centuries in the last three games for CSK. His impact on CSK is clearly seen. Definitely, one good thing to take from the tournament for CSK.



<h2>Post Match Presentation(CSK vs KXIP):</h2>



<h3>KL Rahul | Losing captain: </h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/KL-RahulKXIP.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20607" /><figcaption>KL Rahul(KXIP skipper) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



It is as simple as that. We didn't bat really well. Big pressure game and we expected 180-190 on the board, unfortunately we couldn't soak in the pressure and get a big total. Disappointed but that's how IPL goes. We didn't have results going our way in the first half. The team still felt we were playing good cricket. We were patchy at times with the bowling and the batting didn't come together in the first half, we started doing well in the second half and really proud that we gave ourselves an opportunity to come into the top four. Unfortunate that today and yesterday's game didn't go our way but proud of the team. Hopefully come back stronger next year and forget this year. If you look back at it , we had a lot of games in our pocket but we couldn't get over the line. We only have ourselves to blame. At the start of the tournament, that short run has come back to bite us very hard. We all make mistakes and we have made a few this season. We need to accept it, learn from it and come back stronger.



<h3>Faf du Plessis:</h3>



 Sorry Danny I would like to give you a bat but I only get so many bats. That scoop is the shot I play often and quite bummed that I couldn't get it but pleased for us to finish the season with a win. He (Gaikwad) looks like a young Virat Kohli doesn't he. What stands out for me the most is is his composure. Pressure situations don't really get to him. That is always pleasing to see in a young guy and looks like he has a bright future. I am still loving it. I have got a lot of cricket left in me, at least five years.



<h3>MS Dhoni | Winning captain:</h3>



 It was a difficult campaign for us. I don't think we played to the full potential. We did commit a lot of errors at different points in the tournament. The last four games, it could be a template as to where we would have liked ourselves to be. If you are lagging behind too much, it becomes very difficult to push yourself and come out with performances. That's where each and everyone had to contribute. Very proud the way they played their cricket. It would have been very tough 6-7 games. You won't want to be in a dressing room that is not really enjoying cricket. You want to keep coming up with new formulas and new theories, but if the dressing room atmosphere is not happy, it becomes very tough. A lot depends on what the BCCI decides on the auction. We need to slightly change our core group and look for the next ten years. At the start of the IPL, we made a team and it served well for us. There comes a time where you have to shift a bit, change a bit and hand it over to the next generation. That's what will be the policy, try to form a strong core group. (Message to the fans) We'll come back strong, that's what we are known for. This has been a tough year. This is one of the seasons where most of the teams played well. Or you can say one team played brilliantly which is Mumbai Indians and the rest all have played badly to be in the big cluster. So, it depends on how you want to look at it. There's definitely a lot of positives. (Many players receiving his jersey) Maybe they thought I am retiring. Whenever we have seen him (Ruturaj Gaikwad) bat, he's somebody somebody who has batted well. We were not able to see a lot of him in the games. Right at the start of the season, it was a very tough period where he got COVID and was out. Even after 20 days, he wasn't fit. He didn't get a lot of practice where we would have loved to see him bat. Even if he'd got 15-20 runs in his first game, it gives you a glimpse. That was one of the main reasons we kept going with Faf and Watson. It didn't work but I don't think it was bad. That's the point where you say I'll go with the experienced guys and try to come back into tournament. It's (IPL 2021) only a few months from now, that's a good thing and hopefully no lockdown so you can put in a lot of pressure on the skill aspect. A lot can be planned provided there's no lockdown.

I was scoring well in the domestic circuit in every format, so I was feeling confident. Even for my club and state team, I had to be the anchor, make sure the team wins and I stay till the end. At times, I also need to be aggressive. One of my favourite - inside-out (shot). Not to be part of the squad which was practising initially, to miss the first few games, it was difficult for me. But the management and every team mate made sure that I was positive. Important part of the squad and it did help a lot. Being in the change room and being on the field - I was used to it. One or two games, it was surreal (playing with the star players). Even yesterday I saying to Rayudu - 'it's the first time I am batting with you, you are my hero,' and he was happy for that.

Will MS Dhoni lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL2021? All you need to know. Fans are curious to know about MS Dhoni?s stand in next year?s IPL. Will MS Dhoni lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL2021? All you need to know.



Chennai Super Kings had a very unfortunate year in IPL this season. CSK was the first team to get knocked out of the IPL2020. CSK fans were not used to these situations as they have a clean track record in IPL. Having qualified in every season of IPL for playoffs, CSK fans were disappointed with the performance this time. MS Dhoni and Co. lost 8 matches out of 14 they played and remained second last in the points table.



<h2>MS Dhoni to lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021:</h2>



It is apparent, MS Dhoni will lead Chennai Super Kings in the next year IPL, which is not too far away. Kasi Vishwanathan said, ?MS Dhoni will lead the side in next edition of IPL too.? ?One bad year does not mean we have to change everything?, he added.



?Yes, definitely. I am very confident that Dhoni will lead CSK in 2021. He has won three titles for us in the IPL. This is the first year we have not qualified for the playoffs. No other team has done that. One bad year does not mean we will have to change everything,? Viswanathan told TOI



<h2>MS Dhoni on his conformation for IPL 2021:</h2>



During the last match of Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab, Danny Morrison asked Dhoni whether this will be his last appearance in IPL. To which Dhoni gently had a two-word answer ?Definitely Not?.



Danny Morrison: Could this be MSD your last game ever in Yellow?



MS Dhoni: ?Definitely Not.?



Mahendra Singh Dhoni also confessed that they need to change the core of the team before the next edition of IPL. And want to purchase some talented and firing players for CSK.



?We need to slightly change our core group and look for the next ten years. At the start of the IPL, we made a team and it served well for us. There comes a time where you have to shift a bit, change a bit and hand it over to the next generation.? said MS Dhoni.



<h2>Gautam Gambhir on Chennai Super Kings:</h2>



Chennai needs to update its squad for the next year?s IPL. Also, they need to be active in the next season of IPL, said Gambhir.



?CSK needs to revamp their entire squad. They have many talented players in the team but most of them won?t continue. They have to change them, age is not on their side. Most of the players will change. CSK is not seen very active at auctions but in 2021 IPL auctions they probably will be the most active team?, said Gambhir to ESPNCricinfo.?

Flop XI of IPL 2020, MS Dhoni to lead the side, Finch and Russell. Dream11 IPL2020, Full flop show by the players. Flop XI of IPL 2020, MS Dhoni to lead the side, Finch and Russell.



Flop XI of IPL2020. Dream11 IPL 2020 is over, defending champions playing the final encounter against Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians won the tournament with a comfortable 5 wickets in hand and 8 balls to spare. The Defending Champians improved their record in UAE of losing all 5 games which were played by MI back in 2014. However, this time the mindset was totally different and changed, MI players looked more experienced and comfortable.



However, there were a lot of players who struggled to retain their form back. Some of the players who put flop show in Dream11 IPL 2020 is here. We made a list of 11 Players who were super flop during the whole season.



<h2>List of flop XI of IPL 2020:</h2>



<h4>AARON FINCH (RCB):</h4>



12 Games || 268 Runs || 52 H.S. || 22.33 Average || 111.20 Strike Rate.



The Royal Challenger opener batsman was thought to bring a lot of experience in the batting lineup and give a flying start to RCB. The Australian Limited over skipper was brought by RCB for 4.4 crore Rupees in the Auctions. But it looks like Finch did not play to the expectations. Aaron Finch in his 12 appearances scored just 268 runs with a strike rate of 111 and it just included a half-century.?



<h4>Prithvi Shaw(DC): </h4>



13 Games || 228 Runs || 66 H.S. || 17.53 Average || 136.52 Strike Rate.



Delhi?s young Indian opener looked solid at the start of the Indian Premier League, however, Shaw tends to lose his control. Prithvi Shaw is known to give a good start to the team but the young did lose his touch as the tournament progressed. This is the major reason for Delhi?s failure. Shaw in his 13 innings scored just 228 runs with a strike rate of 136 and it just includes two half-centuries.



<h4>Dinesh Karthik(KKR):</h4>



14 Games || 169 Runs || 58 H.S. || 14.08 Average || 126.11 Strike Rate.



The KKR skipper, early in the season did not have a good start. However, failure in his batting led him to leave KKR?s leadership halfway. Karthik has probably had one of the worst seasons in IPL. KKR?s wicket keeper batsman managed to score just 129 runs from the 14 games he played, with a strike rate of 126 and managed to reach a half centuries in his 14 appearances.



<h4>Glenn Maxwell(KXIP):</h4>



13 Games || 108 Runs || 32 H.S. || 15.42 Average || 101.88 Strike Rate.



The Australian dangerous middle-order batsman known for his deadly innings however this time failed to create a single impact. Maxwell was brought by KXIP for whooping 10.75 crores but it did not pay off. Glenn Maxwell in his all 13 outings managed to get mere 108 runs with a strike rate of 106, which definitely is not justified to his caliber. A season to forget for Maxwell surely.



<h4>MS Dhoni(CSK): </h4>



14 Games || 200 Runs || 47* H.S. || 25.00 Average || 116.27 Strike Rate.



The CSK skipper has had a disastrous time in Dream11 IPL 2020. MS Dhoni took retirement from International cricket soon before the start of IPL and fans were excited to cheer for MS in IPL, but MS Dhoni did not looked comfortable. Not only Dhoni?s performance went down but the whole CSK did not disappointed the fans. Dhoni on his 12 innings in 14 outings managed to hit just 200 runs milestone with a strike rate of 116.



<h4>Kedar Jadhav(CSK):</h4>



8 Games || 62 Runs || 26 H.S. || 20.66 Average || 93.93 Strike Rate.



Another CSK batsman who would want to forget this season for his poor performance. Kedar Jadhav showed a full flop show in the 2020 edition of IPL. CSK sometimes got criticized for promoting Kedar Jadhav ahead of Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo. However, Chennai management kept playing with him for 8 matches in which he scores only 62 runs with a strike rate of below 100.



<h4>Andree Russell(KKR):</h4>



10 Games || 117 Runs || 25 H.S. || 13.00 Average || 144.44 Strike Rate.



10 Games || 6 Wickets || 2/29 B.B.F. || 9.72 Economy.



The West Indies' muscle power looked helpless during the whole season. KKR management at times looked after Russell to give them a good score but Russell could not find his sweet spot. As a result, Andree Russell played 10 games for KKR and managed to score 117 runs with a strike rate of 144.



<h4>Sunil Narine(KKR):</h4>



10 Games || 121 Runs || 64 H.S. || 13.44 Average || 142.35 Strike Rate.



10 Games || 5 Wickets || 2/28 B.B.F. || 7.94 Economy.



Yet another nightmare for Kolkata Knight Riders fans and management, Sunil Narine struggled to find his pace. Narine was initially known for his bowling but Gautam Gambhir (Captain of KKR at that time) promoted him to open the innings. However, Narine did gave some flying start to the innings. This time it looked totally opposite of what they thought. KKR management shuffled Narine everywhere but he failed to do something big. Narine in his 10 appearances scored 121 runs with a strike rate of 142 and got a one-half century. Talking about the bowling, that too looked ordinary. Sunil Narine managed to pick just 5 wickets in 10 games he played.



<h4>Navdeep Saini(RCB):</h4>



13 Games || 6 Wickets || 2/25 B.B.F. || 8.29 Economy.



Royal Challenger Bangalore?s lead pace bowler had a bad time with the IPL 2020. Navdeep Saini who managed to keep batsman under control in the super over against Mumbai Indians, with the likes of Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya struggled at the later stages. Saini was benched by the RCB in some games due to his poor performances. The pacer played 13 games for RCB but just picked 6 wickets.



<h4>Jaydev Unadkat(RR):</h4>



7 Games || 4 Wickets || 2/32 B.B.F. || 9.91 Economy.



Jaydev Unadkat has been the familiar face who appeared in the list of flop 11 for the past few years. After a good start to the career, Unadkat could not pick his pace. Yet another time he is featured in the flop XI. Unadkat for RPS in 2017 performed phenomenally. After that, there is a downfall in his career. The RR bowler, Jaydev Unadkat in his 7 appearances managed 4 wickets with a poor economy rate of 9.9.



<h4>Kuldeep Yadav(KKR):</h4>



5 Games || 1 Wicket || 1/20 B.B.F. || 7.66 Economy.



A poor showdown by another Kolkata player. Kuldeep one of the best in the T20 games in present times had a poor time with the franchise. The left-arm bowler did not perform for KKR in the previous edition too. Kuldeep Yadav did not get many games due to his poor performances and in 5 appearances managed just a single wicket. This is definitely an alarming sign for the BCCI, as their lead bowlers are not in form.



<h2>Flop XI of Dream11 IPL 2020:</h2>



Aaron Finch (RCB), Prithvi Shaw (DC), Dinesh Karthik (KKR), Glenn Maxwell (KXIP), MS Dhoni (CSK), Kedar Jadhav (CSK), Andree Russell (KKR), Sunil Narine (KKR), Navdeep Saini (RCB), Jaydev Unadkat (RR), Kuldeep Yadav (KKR).

Aakash Chopra: CSK should not retain MS Dhoni for IPL 2021. Former Batsman feels CSK should release MS Dhoni for IPL 2021.Aakash Chopra: CSK should not retain MS Dhoni for IPL 2021.



Indian Premier League 2020 is the worst ever season for the Chennai Super Kings and Management. CSK for the first time in the history of IPL failed to reach the playoffs in 2020. With the disappointment of not reaching the playoffs, Chennai players are not on the right path with the touch.



Skipper MS Dhoni returned to the Cricket field after almost a year hoping to do the usual work for CSK. But he failed to reach even a half-century mark in 14 games. However, CSK players failed to score runs in the middle in absence of the veteran Suresh Raina.



The Coach and skipper himself confessed that team definitely to change the core. Most of the players from Chennai Super Kings are over 30 years and Shane Watson retiring from all forms of Cricket is a major setback. CSK needs a mega auction ahead of IPL 2021 to get some players to strengthen their core for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.



The former batsman and present cricket commentator, Aakash Chopra feels, CSK should not retain MS Dhoni ahead of IPL 2021. Aakash Chopra in his Facebook video said that retaining MS Dhoni for 15 crores will not be a wise option to choose.



<h2>Aakash Chopra on retaining MS Dhoni:</h2>



?I think CSK should release MS Dhoni going into the mega auction, if there is a mega auction then you will be with that player for three years. But will Dhoni stay with you for three years? I am not saying don't keep Dhoni, he will play the next IPL, but if you keep him as a retained player but you will have to pay Rs 15 crore," said Chopra in a video posted on his Facebook account.



Retaining MS Dhoni will cost them 15 crores and it is not sure that MS will play for all three years. The Ranchi based cricketer has turned 39 and is in the last phase of his cricketing career. Chopra stated that CSK should use the money on getting some good players into the squad while getting MS Dhoni with the Right To Match card in the Mega Auction.



"If Dhoni does not stay with you for three years and he plays just the 2021 season, you will get the Rs 15 crore back for the 2022 edition, but how will you find a player worth that Rs 15 crore? That's the advantage of a mega auction, you can create a big team if you have the money. If you release Dhoni for the mega auction, you can pick him with the right to match card and you can pick the right players by having the desired money in your kitty. You can pick Dhoni in the auction, from CSK point of view, if they release Dhoni and then pick him up in auction, it would be beneficial for them," Chopra explained.

KL Rahul: Nobody can fill MS Dhoni?s place, happy to keep wickets for 3 ICC Events. Team India?s Vice Captain says he can do whatever the team wants him to do. KL Rahul: Nobody can fill MS Dhoni?s place, happy to keep wickets for 3 ICC Events.



Recently elected Team India?s vice-captain, KL Rahul says he would be happy to don gloves for India in the next three ICC tournaments. However, the batsman also mentioned that the management has not told him anything relating to the wicketkeeping role. The next three ICC events are to held in the next three years, ICC T20 World Cup in India 2021 and ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022 while the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.



Rahul also talked about MS Dhoni during the video, he says MS has done good work from behind the wickets. The way he rotates the bowlers especially in the middle is something every wicketkeeper wants to learn. There is a lot to learn from him.



<h2>Happy to keep in next three World Cups:</h2>



?It helps the team combination a little more and it's something I would love to do...if the opportunity presents itself and I can keep in three World Cups, I would love to do it for my country," Rahul said.



?The management has not told me anything and we are not going that far as a team. The ICC Tournaments are huge and that?s the long term vision for every side and country,? he added.



Going ahead with KL Rahul as a wicketkeeper, it gives room to include one more batsman or a bowler as per the need of the team. This is a great advantage to have. That?s probably what each of us wants.



"I think for me, we are just taking one game at a time. So if I put up consistent performances with bat and gloves, it gives us an option of playing an extra bowler or an extra batter," he added.



The way MS reads the game is very is beyond our imagination. He was in a different league all throughout. He obviously was one of the gems for Indian Cricket. Nobody can ever fill his place.



<h2>Nobody can fill MS Dhoni's place:</h2>



"Look obviously, nobody can fill MS Dhoni's place. He has shown us the way and how wicketkeeper-batsman role is performed," Rahul said.

https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1331591047055429633
</div></figure>



?For me, I have a decent friendship with Kuldeep, Jaddu and Chahal. I can go and guide them, what?s the better length and where exactly the ball needs to be pitched. Anybody in this role of wicketkeeping has to take the responsibility to guide the bowlers.?



Rahul played against New Zealand where he kept the wickets. He enjoyed the series by scoring good innings and performing decently behind the wickets. This has been the touring point for Rahul?s career.



?I was given an opportunity to keep wickets against New Zealand and quite enjoyed it. Hopefully, I can do a lot better at analyzing and reading the game and give captains and bowlers valuable feedback,? he said.

Justin Langer heaped praises on Hardik Pandya, comparing him with MS.



The Australian head coach Justin Langer expressed his feelings on how much impressed he is with Hardik Pandya?s performance. Justin Langer heaped praises on Hardik Pandya and comparing him with MS Dhoni,(former Indian Captain). Pandya?s heroic took India to a six-wicket win against Australia in the second T20I.



Hardik Pandya smacked 22-ball 42 at the end of the innings of 2nd T20I to seal the game as well as the series. Shikhar Dhawan set the tone for the game with scintillating 36- balls 52 while Hardik Pandya took the charge to finish in the same tone.



<h2>Earlier we had MS now Pandya, said Langer:</h2>



In the virtual press conference, Australian Coach Justin Langer said, ?It was an incredible game of Cricket all throughout. Everyone knows how threatening he (Pandya) is. In the past, we had Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the way he kept the innings today? He has played really well all summer. So, obviously, it was a great innings at the end there.?



Justin Langer said, India used their experience to get the victory and they were too good the whole game.



?It was a very close game. Our (Australian) fielding was absolutely magnificent, it was a treat to watch, but they (India) used their experience in the T20I game and were too good for us today.?



Langer also praised Virat Kohli?s innings and said he is one of the best players in the game.



?I have said for years he (Virat Kohli) is the best player I have probably ever seen. Some of the shorts he played today were outstanding and India stitched a good opening stand and got over the line quickly,? said Australia Coach.?



Australian Coach was also highly impressed with Mathew Wade?s led side. He said they have got enough runs on boards to defend but India outplayed us.



?I am really proud of my boys. It was a great spectacle, India vs Australia on Sunday. It was so close, it was exciting at the same time. We (Australia) batted really well, we had a good total to defend. India outplayed us and batted really well.?

ICC Team Ranking After India vs Australia Test Series 4th Match - ICC WTC Standings

India captain Jasprit Bumrah has come under massive scanner for his antics during the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. 
In what has been a shocking development, India captain Jasprit Bumrah has been accused of using sandpaper during the ongoing match. Some of the Australian fans, as well as the media personnel, have charged the fast bowler with the allegations, and it has become a massive controversy. 
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, the sandpaper-like thing can be seen around Jasprit Bumrah. The India fast bowler can be seen getting troubled by something in their shoe, and as he decided to check upon that, there seemed to be a sandpaper-like thing. 
As Jasprit Bumrah removed his shoes, the sandpaper-like thing dropped out, and the fast bowler took that out and kept that in his hand. Since the video has gone viral, there has been a lot of buzz around social media, but so far, nothing official has come out from either of the teams or the match officials. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been the hot soup in the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is single-handedly carrying the bowling lineup of the team in the ongoing series and is making sure that he helps his team fight hard in the five-match Test series. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been on fire with the ball in the ongoing game as well but he has found himself under some discomfort. The pacer felt back spasm during the second session and was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground and going for the scans in the car. 
There is no clarity if Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the charge of the team tomorrow or not. The fast bowler's availability will depend on how he feels on a Sunday morning. Although he might come to bat, there is no clarity if the pacer will come to bowl or not. 
Bumrah so far has taken 32 wickets for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The tally of 32 wickets is the most by an Indian bowler in Australia in the history of Test cricket.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah gave heartache to the Indian fans after the pacer got injured during day two of the ongoing fifth Test against Australia. The match is keeping everyone excted at SCG and is heading towards the exciting finish.
Jasprit Bumrah didn't look in great shape during day two of the ongoing game. After removing Usman Khawaja on the last ball of the match on Day one, it was expected that he would set the stage on fire. But the India captain ended up getting injured in the second match of the day. 
Jasprit Bumrah took India's team off to a flying start with the ball on day two as he removed Marnus Labuschagne. But after that, ahead of the lunch break, he was off the field for around 30 minutes. It raised a lot of eyebrows with the captain not being on the field. But the pacer returned to the field in the second session. 
Jasprit Bumrah bowled one over in the second innings but what was noticeable was he was down with his speed. He was bowling at 120 kmph but went after the field after that. He wasn't in the whites but was in the training kit and it raised a lot of concerns about his fitness for the remainder of the game. 
Jasprit Bumrah was then taken for scans, and it was also certain that the fast bowler had something serious. The pacer, after a few hours, then returned to the dressing room again but didn't take the field as he was seen climbing the stairs, which raised a bit of hope.
Later in the press conference, India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah experienced back spasms and hence was taken for the scans. There have been a lot of speculations about whether the fast bowler will be taking the field on Day three or not. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah might come out to bat but a final call on his bowling will be taken based on how he feels on Sunday Morning</h2>
Now, the reports in the Times of India have made a massive revelation. It is learned that the fast bowler might come out to bat but a final call on his bowling will be taken based on how he feels on Sunday Morning. 
If he misses the game, it will be a massive blow for the Indian team as they are setting the target. And to defend the target, it will be extremely tough for them to defend without Jasprit Bumrah.

Will Jasprit Bumrah bowl on Day 3? Massive update arrives from Sydney

Indian Cricket Team's leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is going through a tough phase in his life. While on the Cricketing side of things, he got snubbed from the Central-Contract list of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last year and he hasn't played in any matches for the Men in Blue in 2024, including the 2024 T20 World Cup, bilateral series versus Zimbabwe &amp; Sri Lanka and other home bilateral series assignments too, despite finding his name in the squad. 
In terms of his personal life, all is not well between him and wife Dhanashree Verma. Divorce Rumors between the two have been circling constantly and these rumors have gained ground after fans noticed that the two have unfollowed each other on social media platform Instagram.
<h2>Is a divorce between Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal imminent? A shocking revelation comes out</h2>
To what might come as a shock to everybody, the couple have deleted each other's wedding photos from their respective Instagram handles which adds even more fuel to the fire. Earlier in 2024, Hardik Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic had parted ways with each other and they too had deleted all of their photos with each other and now, the same thing is happening with Dhanashree &amp; Yuzi Chahal. 
Moreover, a unnamed source close to both Chahal &amp; his wife also gave a confirmation that the divorce rumours are true and they might part ways with each other soon.
"Their (Chahal &amp; Dhanashree's) divorce is unavoidable &amp; it's only a matter of time before an official news comes out. The particular reasons for their separation are unknown yet, but it's evident that two have decided to move on from each other and live separately," the source told Times of India (TOI). 
It's worth noting that Dhanashree and Yuzi got married to each other four years ago in 2020 and their wedding proved to be surprising for many people. They shared a very close and good bond with each other both on and outside the Cricket-field. The 28-year-old Dhanashree revealed the love story of the two in 2024 when she started on 'Jhalak Dikhhla Ja', a dance-reality show. 
"In 2020, when the entire world was affected was affected by the global pandemic and Covid-19, no Cricket matches were taking place and all the Cricket players getting frustrated by just sitting at their homes constantly. At that time, he (Chahal) decided to learn how to dance. He had watched my dance videos on social-media platforms and at that time, I used to teach dance to other people. So he directly approached me to learn dance &amp; I agreed to do so," Dhanashree said.
While the couple's divorce rumours are gaining ground, it's not the first time that such a news has come in.
