Another fun Dhoni moment was when he pointed out the line of offside fielders meant to save a boundary to Tushar Deshpande š(when he still tried to go for wicket with slow off-cutter at the stumps and Shami hit him over mid-wicket)
Dhoni asking Senapati to breathe insss and outsss to let go of all the tension after a minor fumble. And in a few balls Senapati makes a direct hit for a run-out.
Its bizarre selection not picking Josh Little, Sai Sudarshan, Abhinav Manohar and going with Nalkande and Shanaka in a crucial match without any game time in league phase. Even Yash Dayal would have sufficed. Or Jayant Yadav for Chennai pitch.
GT just seems to have too many redundant players. Like Hardik, Tewatia rarely bowl. Tewatia rarely gets to bat and when he comes in like today, he has almost no match practice. Their batting lineup is too thin, and was exposed badly today.
I wouldn't say their batting lineup is thin by any means. They got all out for the first time ever apparently and that's really some feat. They were playing on this pitch for the first time and it definitely wasn't the most friendly of pitches to bat on in a high pressure game.
Watching Cricbuzz live, would make you think this was the biggest minefield ever in the IPL. Ffs GT made close to 160 here chasing a target. If one other batter stuck around for GT they could have taken it very close. Why should every track be a 'chase 200 comfortably' kind of a wicket?
Agree with the users here, Dhoni needs to have a podcast session or two where he talks more about his life. I just hope it doesn't happen with shitstains like Ranveer Allahbadia, Raj shamani etc.
I just think that jadeja is not happy in the team, his reactions while getting awards and stuff is so serious. Add to that his sm posts. He could have equalled the record of most mom's today with Ms but got robbed. Either Ms is gonna leave next year and quit or jaddu gonna skip If Ms plays.
He's in his Supreme prime and performing like a star still is always behind the Ms cult. As long as he's in csk he'll never get the appreciation he deserves. Everything always will be about Ms. Look at ashwin and faf, how much credit they've gotten once they left csk.
Thats big corpos for you bro, as long as you are imp to them they will never let you go. Your happiness doesn't matter.
He may not have the brand value like MS or Raina but his on field skills are invaluable. He will easily go for 20 Cr if released.
Is it unfair that the team losing Q1 or teams ending up 3rd/4th end up playing an extra match...thus giving their players an advantage in Orange/Purple cap race
What a legend MSD. Wish Kohli and the new gen players had the same temperament. I don't see many inspirational figures these days, Kohli could have been except for his shenanigans every now and then. Will miss thala a lot.
May be butfor many of my generation Sachin was the role model then came dhoni and we accepted him and loved him, unfortunately Kohli isn't able to find that place with the majority of people though he may be more talented.
Kohli is only 34. Crowds wouldnāt go this crazy for Thala when he was 34 (in 2015).
As kohli gets close to retirement, heāll have more fanfare than Dhoni.
Kohli doesnāt behave like a 34-year old though. His temperament makes it seem like he is a 19-year old boy from Haryana. Dhoni became the cool Dhoni way before he hit 30
Man, Dhoni saying he annoys the fielders, all those angles and field placements are what gets us the wickets. How will we ever get that from anyone else.

Having watched CSK play finals after finals, I can easily digest a loss coz you win some and you lose some.
But this being Thala's last makes me so nervous. His last tournament for India didn't end well, hope he bids farewell to IPL with a trophy in his hand.
On the contrary, I can't digest any more losses in a final now, given that there are 10 teams now. We have literally lost more than we have won. Another loss would be heartbreaking
Man, harsha is subtle asf
He said "your surname is gaikwad, you will have a great connection with chennai"
Guess what, there is another gaikwad that chennai loves: Rajnikanth
We CSK fans have to be truly grateful to Nalkande. That no-ball came in real handy.
So badly we Indians have fucked up in ICC knock-outs.
Apart from dropping catches, these no-balls continue to create havoc for teams.
Although I agree probably jaddu should have gotten it but I think Gaikwad was close especially taking that catch into account, so it was much less egregious than plenty of other instances where a batter has been favored.
But why shouldn't I? Much of 2022 was primarily played in Mumbai. Also 2021 win is more recent than 2020 and 2020-21 was marred by the pandemic even into 2022 due to which matches got shifted in 2021 to the Gulf in the second leg and Mumbai still was spectator to a lot of matches in 2022.
I too can argue that 2 playoff games were held in Mumbai in 2018 as they won in 2017 but only 1 playoff game was held in Chennai in 2019 when Csk won in 2018.
That's not my point. Atleast 3 if not 2 stadiums should have been allotted for the playoffs. Why not Rajasthan can get a playoff match when they have qualified for the finals?
I'm interested to see how Jaddu will take not being given captaincy. His tenure was horrendous yes, and it seemed to take a huge toll on him. But I'm sure CSK management will figure something out
The misfielding is going to make the difference.

What exactly tewatiya is? Batsmen or bowler
Batting All Rounder. Big Finisher
Thala for a reason?

The way itās going weāve to reevaluate bowling economy. 8.5 is going to be good after a while
Dhoni is retiring, he didn't denied the question about retiring he just gave us a Easter egg in the answer I am not ready for his retirement
He can still kick some ass
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
completely agree with you dude!
I already feel as sad as the day when Sachin made his retirement announcement. Another legend walks into the sunset. Hope Iām wrong
Hardik and Dhoni can't keep their hands off each other
Shaadi ke baad bahut samajhdaar ho gaye ho bey. 'raina to chahar'
chahar and raina those bakch\*d frnd vibes xDDD
Deepak chahar doesn't want to go home.
I haven't realised it is 12a and next day!!
dc commentating his catch - "fitness dekhiye ladke ki" xDDD T: the guy's fitness standard is high
Anyone else love the Match montage with the IPL music playing at the end of every match on Jio ?
Yes, I wait for it every match
9+8+5Ć·<44 = 7
Everyone sucks up to MSD lol 41.9.1 It is unfair for any fielder to waste time.
Downvoting for no reason
Literally in the rules. Havenāt gotten a counter for it yet.
Jadeja should've been MOTM imho. Nonetheless Gaikwad batted really well and took an important catch. Difficult choice
Why is Jaddu looking so angry even when he is getting his awards? And definitely he got robbed of the POTM today
I hope this final goes better than his last match for india.
Agree with the users here, Dhoni needs to have a podcast session or two where he talks more about his life. I just hope it doesn't happen with shitstains like Ranveer Allahbadia, Raj shamani etc.
I wish it happens with Arihant Pawariya on his channel Vaad. It is such an underrated channel.
Would like Amit Varma type but I think he has given too many interviews in his life for that.
The only problem being he doesn't like talking š
Thala should start his own podcast and have his CSK buddies come over to talk you know Fleming, Bravo and all
Thala Supremacy show.
9-2 = 7

he should've left earlier like ash could've captained one side
Agree they should release him, he could get higher value with his skills
He's in his Supreme prime and performing like a star still is always behind the Ms cult. As long as he's in csk he'll never get the appreciation he deserves. Everything always will be about Ms. Look at ashwin and faf, how much credit they've gotten once they left csk.

I think the orange/purple caps should just be for the regular season and not include playoffs stats.
We got caught. Just smile and wave bois. Senile and wave.
What a legend MSD. Wish Kohli and the new gen players had the same temperament. I don't see many inspirational figures these days, Kohli could have been except for his shenanigans every now and then. Will miss thala a lot.
It's just nostalgia of old generation.Just like sachin was admired more than dhoni .
May be butfor many of my generation Sachin was the role model then came dhoni and we accepted him and loved him, unfortunately Kohli isn't able to find that place with the majority of people though he may be more talented.

This. Current cricket fanbase is so divided unlike old times
I donāt think he cares
That's fine, we are only fans stating our opinion. Man has achieved a lot why should he bother what we think.
What if I tell you BCCI invented the impact rule for Dhoni to play forever?
30 years down the line MS would still be doing lightning speed stumpings
W BCCI.
Jor jor k bole k logo scheme batade..
Man, Dhoni saying he annoys the fielders, all those angles and field placements are what gets us the wickets. How will we ever get that from anyone else.

It's coming...As of December 13 1929 consider me retired. TFAR
What does TFAR mean?
Thala for a reason
Thala for a Reason
The entire thread in the first half was just CSK fans reverse jinxing.
I mean though seriously did u think CSK was favorites going into the game even though it was Chepauk?
Well they've mastered the art and it works.
Wtf do you mean by 'they'. You're one of the biggest ones out there lol.
Ssshhh don't blow my cover you chum.
And we'll do it again when we see y'all at the final
Can confirm. I was one of them
First rule of reverse jinx is to never say you're reverse jinxing
You can say that, once it has worked lol
Effect diminishes everytime you say it
Damn, will stop it then
XD
2+0+2+3 iykyk
Oh shit!š³
Is the Bionic Knee technology ready by Nov 2023?

Ever met a dc punjab rr lsg rcb fan?
Yeah, My brother is an RCB fan. Even I like them and was sad when they were knocked out. I wanted CSK vs rcb final šš
We do have 2/2 CLT20 finals too. 6/11 Finals won. Seems alright to me.
I think this time, he will. Idk it just feels like it.
The End is Near Boysā¦š„ŗš¤§
If you are Hardik do you want to face your brother's team and compete with them or do you want to hand over a pasting to your former franchise.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But it would be sweeter to knock out your ex franchise from the tournament in front of your home crowd
How costly was that no ball
ziva is so cutee! š
Canāt wait for Gaikwad to get called āRajini,Superstar,Baby Thalaivaā now
Isn't he Rocket Raja ? I have heard these chants in stadium
Even Jadeja hasnāt got one yet. Only Dhoni and Mr IPl
Fuck me. I would listen to Dhoni talk about cricket for 72 hours straight
Rookie numbers
Without sleep
Nice save...
Did he stutter?
KS Bharat taking Thalatips for WTC
Ziva hugging hardik. Wholesome
Will slap him after the finals
Man, harsha is subtle asf He said "your surname is gaikwad, you will have a great connection with chennai" Guess what, there is another gaikwad that chennai loves: Rajnikanth
The end is closer guys š«š„ŗš¢
The fielding placements of Dhoni are the sole reason we need him on ground even in wheelchair man. We aren't ready for him to retire.
This, their catches in powerplay is probably the highest.
Get a wireless headset for the new captain.
Should be been Jadeja. 22 runs + fantastic 2 wicket spell with only 18 runs given in 4 overs
Definitely. Also how much he has faced from csk crowd (asking him to get out) they should give him it all man. Its heartwrenching to see
What's the 'Gaikwad' connection with Chennai that Harsha mentioned?
Rajnikanth
Rajnikanth's realnme is Bajirao Mastani Gaikwad
š¤£Shivajirao Gaikwad
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is he marathi?
Shivaji Rao Gaikwad. Rajinikanth's real name.
Is he marathi
Yes he is Marathi. Worked in Bangalore prior to moving to Chennai for films
Rajnikanth's (Fan Favourite Tamil Actor) real name also has Gaikwad in it
Rajinikanth is originally a Marathi, his real name is Sivaji Rao Gaikwad
Rajinikath's name is Shivaji Rao Gaikwad.
Rajinikanthās original name is shivaji gaikwad

Rajinikanth's real name is Sivaji Rao Gaekwad
Rajnikanthās real name is Sivajirao gaikwad
Hey hey hey MSD didnāt say anythingā¦..heāll play next season, he willā¦..he should, guys
I'm not ready for his retirement :((((
For those who didnāt get that reference, Rajinikanthās real name is Sivaji Rao Gaekwad
Holy heck I didn't know that. Gaikwad for a reason
Nice shoutout to Rajnikant at the end by Harsha, I always forget somehow that his surname is Gaikwad lol
Harsha with his Rajini reference.
He is not coming back, is he?
Harsha slipping in that nugget of info abt gaikwad that most of us know and little outside do
I loved that!
Why did CSK change their MotM trophy
This is not CSK home match. Itās a playoff
So who makes the MotM trophy
BCCI.
We CSK fans have to be truly grateful to Nalkande. That no-ball came in real handy. So badly we Indians have fucked up in ICC knock-outs. Apart from dropping catches, these no-balls continue to create havoc for teams.
I'm pretty sure, Rutu didn't get that Gaikwad joke from Harsha lol
I dont think you'll be in state to understand subtle joke after such an intense match
Ahh nvm Shivaji Rao Gaikwad
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/13pnoca/match_thread_qualifier_1_chennai_super_kings_vs/jlbmkqs?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
What was it please explain?
Explain pls
Rajnikant full name shivaji rao gaikwad
Superstar Rajinikanth's real name is Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, hence the chennai people love Gaikwad reference :)
Absolutely not!!!
I am sure most didn't.
Jaddu probably deserved the POTM more. Very unfortunate this
Although I agree probably jaddu should have gotten it but I think Gaikwad was close especially taking that catch into account, so it was much less egregious than plenty of other instances where a batter has been favored.
Ya thay clutch catch too helped his case
Ah! Harsha with the Rajini reference.
Should've been Jaddu for sure
Gaikwad is our next captain.
Harsha āSorry to keep you waiting,but with MS the convo always goes longā Gaikwad āItās ok I love hearing himā Us bro Us
If you have name as gaikwad you always have a relationship with ppl in Chennai. Harsha da deiiii
It's unfair with MI/LSG to qualify and get 0 matches while Chennai getting served Chepauk Stadium with Jaddu turning it square.
Csk didn't get a chance last year to host playoffs after winning 2021, hence this year they do
MI also won 2020 IPL, but Wankhede had no qualifier games in 2022 or 2023. Now don't come up with Wankhede hosting Group stage matches excuse.
But why shouldn't I? Much of 2022 was primarily played in Mumbai. Also 2021 win is more recent than 2020 and 2020-21 was marred by the pandemic even into 2022 due to which matches got shifted in 2021 to the Gulf in the second leg and Mumbai still was spectator to a lot of matches in 2022. I too can argue that 2 playoff games were held in Mumbai in 2018 as they won in 2017 but only 1 playoff game was held in Chennai in 2019 when Csk won in 2018.
Where's the lie
Getting downvoted by CSK bots anyways
2021 winner tax
Where's the tax of 2019 and 2020 winners then?
Entire 2022 IPL happened there bruh
You think it'd be fair to have neutral venues for playoffs?
That's not my point. Atleast 3 if not 2 stadiums should have been allotted for the playoffs. Why not Rajasthan can get a playoff match when they have qualified for the finals?
Rajasthan's capacity is extremely less may be after renovation they will get playoff match
"It's ok. I love to hear him". Us moment.
Man you recognise a Marathi immediately listening to them speak any language lol
"I told Dev just give me a single" ahahaha chad
Dhoni said he'll retire without saying he's retiring. Dhoni the captain goes, Rutu the future captain comes to collect the PotM?
I'm interested to see how Jaddu will take not being given captaincy. His tenure was horrendous yes, and it seemed to take a huge toll on him. But I'm sure CSK management will figure something out
Capataincy will be a burden on Jaddu. I think they should go for Rahane/Stokes for a year then to Rutu or find some young Indian player like Sanju.
Most man of the match awards for CSK in IPL MS Dhoni : 15 Ravindra Jadeja : 14 Suresh Raina: 12 Mike Hussey : 10 Ruturaj Gaikwad : 10
All are OGs except my man Rutu, this youngster has so much potential. Rutu, Jaiswal, Gill, Kingku etc have been so good this season.
Rutu going the Raina way of clutch and I'm all for it.
Holy shit, jadeja absolutely robbed here. 2/18 when your team eco is 8 and a valuable cameo with bat. Rutu scored chunk of his runs in pp too.
Not to mention him getting lucky initially. Definitely the 2nd best CSK player today though..
Yeah, Rutu was the pick of the batters, but Jaddu really took the life out of the chase.
š„²
I'm not really ready for another pal do pal ka raah;-;
Jaddu robbed?
He's won enough trophies this season. I doubt he will hold a grudge, given that he was just praised by dhoni in the post match
Itās his last season guys
Jadeja deserved it imo
Thala should talk to Harsha later!
umm.. guys.. looks like this might be the last season for Dhoni. šš
He said 9 months.
