IPL Live Score: Pant’s struggle
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) splashed a record Rs 27 crore for wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant but have seen no return yet for their money as their new skipper has managed just 40 runs.
Today IPL Match Live: Chennai Slump
Mahendra Singh Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings to five IPL crowns in the past, but the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman is struggling to inspire the bottom-placed team.
The 43-year-old former India World Cup-winning captain has been among the runs batting down the order, but age seems to have diminished his finishing powers and Chennai have won only one of their six matches.
When captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured before their last game, Dhoni found himself leading Chennai again.
But they collapsed to 103 all out against Kolkata, who romped to an eight-wicket win with 59 balls to spare.
The team need to find a spark soon, but commentator and former Australia skipper Michael Clarke noted on JioStar that Chennai’s approach was “conservative” and their aim seems to be “avoid a big defeat”.
LSG vs CSK Live Score: Hayden on CSK
Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden shared his insights on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) potential approach in their fixture against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday, believing that implementing major changes is against the five-time winner’s DNA and they will likely follow their simple “back yourselves and trust the process” approach. “I doubt we’ll see major changes – it’s just not in CSK’s DNA. Their approach will likely be: back yourselves, trust the process. They might not be the team that scores 60 in the powerplay, but they have to find a point of difference. Without change, it becomes insanity – doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Whether they recognise and act on that is still uncertain, but something clearly needs to shift,” Hayden said on JioHotstar.
IPL Live Score: Sahil Malhotra on Ayush Mhatre update
Ayush Mhatre, a 17-year-old opener, is poised to join the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the remainder of the IPL season, stepping in as a potential replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad. Gaikwad’s elbow injury, sustained during a match against Rajasthan Royals, has sidelined him, leading CSK to consider Mhatre, who impressed talent scouts during mid-season trials.
