Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won their opening home match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs at the M A Chidambaram stadium. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Moeen Ali were the stars of the match, with Gaikwad slamming his second successive fifty and sharing a 110-run partnership with Conway. CSK posted a commanding 217 for 7 after being sent into bat. In reply, Lucknow fell short by 12 runs as the Yellow Army registered their first win of the season. After the match, CSK captain MS Dhoni took a jibe at his bowlers and warned them with his sense of humour that if they don’t improve, then they should find another captain as he will be off. CSK during LSG’s run-chase conceded 3 no-balls, 13 wides, and 2 leg-byes. Dhoni also mentioned that fast bowling needs to be slightly improved and bowlers need to bowl according to the conditions. Chennai play their next match against Mumbai Indians on Saturday at the Wankhede Stadium.
