CSK vs LSG: MS Dhoni’s Back-2-Back Sixes Set The Stage on Fire

CSK vs LSG: Chennai Super Kings took on Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the IPL 2023 game on April 3. The CSK skipper MS Dhoni’s Back-2-Back Sixes set the stage on fire, making his Chepauk return even more iconic as he took the game away from Lucknow Super Giants.

CSK got a sensational start as both of their openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway got off to a flying start. By the end of the powerplay, the two batters together took their total to 79 and didn’t allow any LSG bowler to hit the right line and lengths.

Chennai Super Kings’ young sensation Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a scintillating 31-ball 57. Devon Conway too scored a brilliant 29-ball 47. All the other CSK batters kept the momentum going and didn’t allow the run rate to go down throughout the CSK innings.

Meanwhile, CSK skipper MS Dhoni didn’t get the chance to bat till the 19th over. MS Dhoni finally came in to bat after the dismissal of Ravindra Jadeja in the 20th over. LSG pacer Mark Wood, who had taken a fifer in his previous game, was bowling the 20th over of CSK’s innings.

MS Dhoni’s Back-2-Back Sixes stuns Mark Wood in CSK vs LSG game

LSG skipper KL Rahul had kept the over for Mark Wood as the pacer looked in top form in the previous game. However, MS Dhoni had different plans as he took the pacer on right on the first ball that he faced.

Mark Wood bowled a quick delivery upfront against MS Dhoni but allowed him some width outside the off stump. The CSK skipper slashed the ball with all his strength as it went flying over the third man fielder crossing the boundary rope with a fair margin.

Mark Wood then tried bowling a bouncer against MS Dhoni putting all his strength into the delivery. However, MS Dhoni quickly grasped the ball and pulled it over the deep square boundary for a gigantic six.

The Chepauk crowd gone bonkers after MS Dhoni’s back-to-back sixes. Mark Wood had the last laugh as he dismissed the CSK skipper on the next delivery but MS Dhoni did pretty well for his side scoring 12 runs off just 3 deliveries in the CSK vs LSG match.
