Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions of the IPL, have lost the first two matches of the 15th edition of the IPL.
Earlier, in the inaugural match of the series, Chennai clashed with Kolkata. CSK won the toss and elected to field. CSK won the toss and elected to field.
As a result, in the match against Lucknow yesterday (31.03.2022), Chennai scored 210 runs, but in the end both bowling and fielding failed, with three balls to spare, to beat Chennai and record their first win in the IPL series.
This is the first time in an IPL series that Chennai have lost the first two matches. Earlier, CSK captain Dhoni abruptly announced his resignation, exactly two days before the start of the IPL.
Thus, the fans were shocked and pained. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain of the Chennai team. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketers have been blaming Dhoni for his actions and causing a stir.
Despite Dhoni stepping down as captain, he continues to make many decisions during the tournament. Commenting on this, former player Ajay Jadeja said, "If it is the last match of the league round or there is a crisis of wanting to advance to the next round, then it is right for Dhoni to make a decision. But this is the second match of the league round. Thus, what Dhoni is doing is wrong. No one can be. However, I do not like Dhoni's performance. "
Similarly, another former batsman Parthiv Patel has also criticized Dhoni's decision. "If creating a new leader is your advice, you should give him more freedom first. He can only become a captain if he allows Jadeja to lead the team. Jadeja will learn from that only when he makes mistakes."
Like Ajay Jadeja and Parthiv Patel, some other cricket celebrities have been commenting on Dhoni's performance.
