Former India explosive opener Virender Sehwag is unhappy with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni being repeatedly asked questions about his IPL retirement. In the CSK vs Lucknow Super Giants matches on Wednesday, commentator Danny Morrison asked Dhoni if this was his last season. However, Dhoni gave a funny reply to this. He smiled and said, “You have decided that this is my last IPL, not me.
What did Sehwag say about Dhoni's retirement question?
Even before this many times journalists and commentators have asked Dhoni questions about his retirement. Expressing displeasure over these questions, Sehwag said that even if this is his last year, he should deny such questions and not answer them. Sehwag said that whenever Dhoni feels, he himself will answer these questions.
Sehwag said during a cricket show – I do not understand why people even ask. Even if it is his last year, why do you have to ask any player? It's their call, let them take it! Perhaps he just wanted an answer from Dhoni that this was indeed his last season. Whether this is his last year or not, only MS Dhoni knows.
What happened in Chennai vs Lucknow match?
This happened for the first time in the IPL 2023 match between Lucknow and Chennai when neither team could win and one point each had to be shared between the two teams. Even before this match, there was a possibility of rain and the same happened. Just before the end of Lucknow's innings, rain came and play had to be stopped. After this, further play could not take place due to rain and the match was called off. With this, both teams got one point each.
Batting first in this match, Lucknow scored 125/7 in 19.2 overs. In such a situation, the Chennai team was likely to get a target of around 130 runs and Dhoni's team could easily win this match. However, due to rain, Lucknow gained and Chennai lost a point. On the other hand, the Rajasthan team suffered more due to the cancellation of this match, as this team has now come in fourth place.
