‘Contractions have begun, please finish the game’: Sakshi Dhoni’s post during CSK vs SRH clash

Chennai Super Kings made a comeback in the IPL on Sunday after losing 2 straight games against Lucknow Super Giants. The Ruturaj Gaikward leading team is showing their authority in the tournament by beating a strong Pat Cummins leading team by 78 runs to move up to third place in the IPL points table.

However, Sakshi Dhoni, wife of former CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, had a special request for the CSK during their clash with SRH on Sunday. Sakshi while tagging the CSK Instagram handle requested the team to complete the game early since she is about to be a “bua (aunt).”

Sakshi’s Instagram story soon went viral, with users sharing screenshots on various social media handles. The Chennai team also seemed to have heard Sakshi’s plea as they bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad in just under 19 overs.

Chennai Super Kings were at their formidable best in Sunday’s match as they posted 212/3 in their 20 overs, with skipper Ruturaj Gaikward (98 off 54 balls) leading from the front and Daryl Mitchell returning to form with a fifty. Shivam Dube (39 off 20 balls) also played a gem of an innings at the end to take CSK past the 200-run mark.

On the bowling front, Tushar Deshpande was outstanding with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 27 runs in his 3 overs, while Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana took 2 wickets apiece. Such was the dominance of the CSK bowlers that none of the SRH batsmen, barring Aiden Markram (32 off 26 balls), managed to cross the 30-run mark as the Hyderabad-based franchise were all out in 18.5 overs.
