Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have looked like a pale shadow of themselves in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The four-time champions saw a captaincy transition from MS Dhoni to Ravindra Jadeja for the first eight matches before the decision was reversed. The new-look franchise managed to clinch victories in only three wins from 10 matches to remain virtually out of the IPL 2022 playoffs race but Dhoni returning to the reign has brought some much needed luck back to the side.
CSK registered one of their highest total in the IPL history by scoring 208/6 against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2022 match at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on Sunday. Batting first, CSK top-order batters, Ruturaj Gaikwad (41), Devon Conway (87), Shivam Dube (32) and MS Dhoni (21 not out) guided their side to the massive total with crucial knocks at a stadium where every shot has its value for money.
