Dhoni fought alone

As for the Chennai team, Dhoni scored 50 runs while the other players were not said to be on the track that day. Earlier, just two days before the start of the IPL, Dhoni suddenly announced his resignation as captain of the Chennai team, causing a great deal of consternation and shock among the fans.

Eager fans

Also, it was a disappointment to the fans who were expecting to see Dhoni as the captain this season. Following this, Dhoni gave a fantastic half-century in the inaugural match. Dhoni, who has struggled with batting in the last two IPL seasons, is off to a good start this time around and the desire to see his batting in subsequent matches has increased among the fans.

Initiative to start a successful account

Chennai will take on Lucknow Super Giants tomorrow (30.03.2022) in their next league match. Also, Moeen Ali, the star player of the Chennai team who did not play in the first match, is expected to play in tomorrow's match. With both Lucknow and Chennai losing the first match, it looks like both the teams will be looking to start their winning streak tomorrow.

Devon Conway

Meanwhile, New Zealand's Devon Conway, who has joined the Chennai team this year, has shared some interesting information about his conversation with Dhoni. "I was wanting to play under the great MS as captain. I had a nice little conversation with him. I said, ‘you’re sure you don’t want to captain one more season so I can play under you as captain?"

To which Dhoni replied, "No, but I am always going to be around anyways. It was really cool," Conway revealed. It is noteworthy that the Chennai team had auctioned Conway as a replacement for Du Plessis, who was the starter of the Chennai team last season.
