New -delhi [India]April 15 (Ani): Former Indian captain Krishnamachari Srikanth sang a verse in praise by captain MS Dhoni, who turned the clock back and lifted Chennai Super Kings to a five-haired monumental victory against Lucknow Super Giants, who ended their five-matches in the continuous 18th reasons of Indian Premier League (IPL). Chennai, who appeared outside the color after losing five on the jog for the first time in a single IPL campaign, found his lost swagger in Lucknow when they shot down the target of 167 runs and extensively stepped the Super Giants to return to winning manners. At the age of 43, Dhoni defined the art of chasing his premeditated plan of attack and a flawless blueprint of success. When Chennai still decreased from the last five overs at 111/5 and 56, Dhoni paved the way with his calculated warwealth. Shivam Dube, who was on the other hand, played against his explosive nature, chose his moments and beat the winning runs in the final to send CSK past the finish line. Dhoni returned unbeaten at 26 (11) with a stomping strike rate of 236.36. Apart from his master class when he completed the chase, Dhoni led his troops in a striking way while retaining his calm behavior. With Chennai enjoying his new -found press patch, Srikanth considers it the beginning of “resurrection”. “What a victory for @chennaiipl! Dhoni once again proves why he is called Thala- not just for his actions, but for the calm, the way he led his troops. It’s not just a victory … it feels like the beginning of a resurrection. The roar is back on Tamil Newyear!” Srikkanth wrote on X. With Ruturaj Gaikwad, the rest of the season excluded with an injury, and Dhoni returned to the helm to lead the Super Kings for the first time since 2023. His long -awaited return unfolded against Kolkata Knight Riders, but the ominous signs are lost in the shades of defeat. The defending champions pumeled Chennai and violated their fortress at Chepauk and silenced the live yellow sea on the plots with a resounding 8 wickets victory. With things that look gloomy and the necessary victory, CSK made some adjustments in playing XI and found the formula for success. (Ani) first published: 15 Apr 2025, 12:28 pm ist
