Mahendra Singh Dhoni is currently captaining Chennai Super Kings in the absence of injured Ruturaj Gaikwad. However, under Dhoni’s captaincy, the condition of CSK has not improved and he is still at the bottom of the points table. There is a lot of pressure on Dhoni and his team before the CSK match against Punjab Kings and they will not want any other result other than win in this match, which is why the team is also practicing a lot.
CSK has also shared a video on social media in which Dhoni was given six balls challenged in the team’s practice session at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and he won the hearts of fans by hitting several brilliant sixes in these 6 balls. This video, shared from CSK’s official X (first Twitter) account, is becoming increasingly viral which you can watch below.
CSK will face Punjab Kings in the 49th match of the tournament. Punjab Kings, who ranks fifth in the table with five wins in nine matches, three defeats and one benatija, are trying to make it to the top four. Shreyas Iyer -led team is trying to return the match after the match against KKR and defeat RCB due to rain. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how the CSK team performs in this match.

If we talk about the current version of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings have won only 2 of their 9 matches and this year the dream of playing playoffs has remained in the earth. His batting proved to be his weakness this season. CSK has included players like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis this season as replacement but it seems that they have been too late to take this decision. The 17 -year -old Mhatre appeared in a good rhythm in both the matches played against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Dewald Brevis played a brilliant innings in his debut against Hyderabad.
