Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was surprised after the award of the Player of the Match after the victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday. Dhoni scored 26* runs in just 11 balls, including 4 fours and 1 six. Thanks to his brilliant performance, Dhoni became the oldest player to win the Man of the Match award in IPL history. However, he said that CSK spinner Noor Ahmed should also get this award due to his great performance.
Dhoni said after the match, “Even today I was thinking – ‘Why are you giving this award?’ Noor bowled very well. ” CSK is currently at the bottom in the IPL 2025 points table, which has only won its second win.
Dhoni said, “It is good that we won a match, when you play such a tournament, you want to win. Unfortunately, the earlier matches did not go in our favor, no matter what the reasons can be. It is good that it is good that we wins. This gives confidence to the whole team and we can improve the areas that we all know. Makes it hard, and it was a complex game. If you look at Powerplay, whether it was combined or status, we were struggling in bowling, and then we could not start as a batting unit, what we wanted. “
He further said, “The process of falling the wicket there, we lose wickets at the wrong time again and again. One of the reasons for this is that the pitch of Chennai is a bit slow, when we play outside the home ground, the batting unit does a little better. Maybe we should play on such pitch, which are a little better so that the batsmen get a little better so that the batsmen get confidence in their shots. You don’t want to play cricket.”
The Yellow Army veteran said, “He has been with us for many years (Shaikh Rashid). This year he is batting very well against both fast bowlers and spinners in the nets. This is just a beginning. He has the ability to dominate with real shots.”
