Chennai Super Kings

Conway was Gaikwad's opening partner in the game and the duo went about dismantling the SRH bowlers as the defending IPL champions notched up a 200-plus total and then restricted the Kane Williamson-led side to 189. While Conway himself contributed an unbeaten 85 off 55 deliveries, the Kiwi batter said he was left amazed with Gaikwad's power-hitting.

Jadeja who was entrusted the task of leading the side, stepped down for Dhoni to be back at the helm marshalling his Boys in Yellow. CSK gave one of its most assertive performances with the bat and ball as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the MCA Stadium, with Gaikwad smashing 99 and New Zealand's Conway hitting an unbeaten 85 to lay the platform for a 200-plus score.

On Sunday Mahendra Singh Dhoni's return at the helm worked wonders for four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the MCA Stadium, with Gaikwad, who has been off-colour in IPL 2022, showing the brilliant side of his batting by smashing a 99 off 57 balls.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 6 runs and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 13 runs. MS Dhoni was back as the captain of CSK. Ruturaj Gaikwad made 99 runs off 57. He missed his well-deserved 100 just by 1 run. 

Gaikwad was expectedly retained while du Plessis went into the auction pool and was snapped by Royal Challengers Bangalore to be their skipper in 2022. The solidity of the Gaikwad-du Plessis stand now not available was visible when in the lead-up to Sunday's game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai's best opening stand was just 28.

The 40-year-old, Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game. Notably, Jadeja has struggled to perform with both bat and ball in the IPL 2022. "Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK," the franchise said in a statement.

In a forgettable season for the Ravindra Jadeja-led side so far, Dube and his partnership with Robin Uthappa (88) was the key to the side notching up a mammoth 216/4 on that memorable day in the match at the DY Patil Stadium on April 12, which CSK won by 23 runs. But few would know about the 28-year-old Mumbai cricketer and his initiation into cricket. For all his success in the IPL -- Dube has been with RCB, Rajashtan Royals and now CSK

Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 11 runs. The spectators were entertained with sensational batting performance by Shikhar Dhawan and clinical bowling by Arshdeep Sigh and Kagiso Rabada. Arshdeep continues to grow as a death-over specialist and Punjab Kings made the right call by retaining him before the auction.

After Punjab Kings rode on a brilliant unbeaten 88 by opener Shikhar Dhawan, Chennai were in cruise mode with Ambati Rayudu going great guns in the middle overs. They had ended the powerplay with nearly the same runs as Punjab Kings -- 37/1 versus 32/2. Though they lost a few wickets more as compared to PBKS in the middle overs, they too managed to score 86 runs in the overs from 7 to 15.

CSK have been hit by injuries this season with fast bowlers Deepak Chahar ruled out for the entire season with a back injury suffered during rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, while Adam Milne too is out, thus adding to coach Stephen Fleming's problems.
