    IPL 2023: Dwayne Bravo retires from IPL but will return as CSK’s bowling coach

    Chennai Super Kings who earlier had let go of Dwayne Bravo appointed him back as a bowling coach. Bravo’s age and injuries lowered his impact in games. It will be interesting to see Bravo in a completely new role. He took the place of Laximapthy Balaji who is on a 1-year leave due to personal commitments. Mumbai Indians too got Kieron Pollard as their batting coach post his release.

    Bravo recalled his playing days in IPL and has been a part of the tournament since the inaugural season, 2008.

    “I’m looking forward to this new journey because it’s something I see myself doing after my playing days is fully over. I enjoy working with bowlers and it’s a role I’m excited about. From player to coach, I don’t think I have to adjust much because while I’m playing, I always work with bowlers and try to come up with plans and ideas on how to have that one step ahead of the batsmen. The only difference is I will no longer be standing at mid-on or mid-off! I never thought I would be the leading wicket taker in the history of IPL. But I’m just happy to be a part of IPL history!” Bravo said.

    He has scalped the most wickets in IPL, with 183 wickets from 161 games. He mustered 1560 runs at a strike rate of 130 and has contributed to many victories for the team.

    Bravo is the highest-ever wicket-taker in the IPL, with 183 wickets from 161 matches. The all-rounder has also scored 1560 runs at a strike rate of around 130, playing key parts in many victories for the Super Kings.

    K.S Viswanathan, Chennai Super Kings CEO, said: “Congratulations to Dwayne Bravo on a tremendous career in the IPL. He has been a crucial member of the Super Kings family for more than a decade and we are excited to continue the association. Bravo’s vast experience will be of immense value to our players and support staff. We are confident that our bowling group will thrive under his guidance.”

    He has been a very important part of Chennai Super Kings since 2011 and has been a part of their IPL Cup victories in 2011, 2018, and 2021. Interestingly, he won the first Purple Cup for scalping the most wickets in an IPL season in 2013 and 2015. He is considered to be one of the best death bowlers in the T20 game. He bowled 1115 balls in total between the 17th and 20th overs and scalped 102 wickets.

    His wickets came at an economy rate of 8.38 over 158 innings in 161 games. His best figure is 4 for 22.

  • Is Ravindra Jadeja really out of CSK or is this just another rumour?

    Is Ravindra Jadeja really out of CSK or is this just another rumour?

    Is Ravindra Jadeja’s time up in Chennai Super Kings? As per reports, CSk and Jadeja are not in touch since IPL 2022. Ravindra Jadeja was made the skipper of IPL 2022 but under his leadership, the team gave its worst performance for which MS Dhoni was made the captain once again. The owners may be displeased with Jadeja’s performance and that can sour the relationship.

    Earlier the reports revealed that Jadeja was ready to part ways with CSK and make himself available for the Trading offers. It’s hard to say if it’s true or not since no statements have been made from either side.

    It’s going on air that Jadeja didn’t like being removed from the captaincy and since then has cut its ties with the team. Jadeja deleted all his CSK-related posts from his social media accounts. He was the only player from the squad who wasn’t part of Dhoni’s birthday celebration video.

    Earlier it was reported that people who were his peers had seen Jadeja’s managers talking to other franchises for Trading offers.

    nsideSport had earlier reported that people close to Jadeja have already indicated that his managers are talking to other franchises for TRADING OFFERS.

    Further in a report by the Times of India, Jadeja has indicated to be wanting to get “out” if a formal proposal of trading comes from another franchise.

    Jadeja has been a part of Chennai Super kings since 2012 and is one of the senior members of the squad. He was retained for 16 crores and made the skipper of the team after Dhoni decided to step down. The franchise is considered to be one of the strongest in this league but for the first time in the history of the game, CSK lost 6 games out of 8. He lost his form and was eventually removed from the captaincy.

    In the last few matches on 2022 that CSK played, he was ruled out for a rib injury. This sudden departure without any clarification has sparked some strong rumors.

    IPL 2022: Here are the Pros and Cons of MS Dhoni taking back the CSK captaincy from Jadeja

    In 2022, CSK handed the captaincy from MS Dhoni to Ravindra Jadeja. However, the all-rounder couldn’t live up to the expectations and CSK are in the ninth place on the points table. Now, Dhoni will be back as the skipper with all the little hope that the fans have from the team.

    Credits- Hindustan Times

    Pros of MS Dhoni being back as the skipper of CSK

    • Jadeja’s performance as a skipper is horrible. CSK could win only two matches in this IPL edition. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK lifted the Cup 4 times. He has a better experience in captaincy than Jadeja, so his guidance for the team will be very helpful.
    • CSK is at the 9th position in the Points Table. The team can qualify for the playoffs if they win all the matches. The Management has more trust in Dhoni and hopefully, he’ll handle the situation much better.
    • Jadeja’s personal form has declined too, he piled up 112 runs in 12 matches at an average of 22.40 and scalped 5 wickets. In this case, the franchise owners don’t desire to risk the destiny of the team. With Dhoni being back at what he does the best, CSK can rise up in the points table, if the batting and bowling go well.
    • Now Ravindra Jadeja can give all his attention to the game and focus on his form that brings good results.

    Cons of MS Dhoni being back as the skipper of CSK

    • CSK has had a poor start to the 15th edition of the league and even if Dhoni is back at the captaincy, there’s still no guarantee about CSK’s performance.
    • Dhoni’s joining CSK as the skipper in the mid-session so the entire formation and structure of the team is going to transform. There’s a possibility of disagreements in the CSK camp.
    • A lot of people are going to question his form and his ability to perform due to his age. If CSK produces positive results, these opinions will fade away but if they fail to perform, a lot of eyebrows will be raised.

    Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is led by the new captain Ravindra Jadeja and they have just 2 points. Under Ravindra Jadeja’s captaincy, CSK has started with a very poor start. The CSK fans were definitely not expecting such a disaster performance from the team. CSK’s triumph in the last season can be accredited to Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s opening. With Faf in RCB, the pressure is mostly on Ruturaj. He could score only 18 runs in the first four matches.

Opening batters Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma hit 26 runs and Suryakumar Yadav had played an unbeaten knock of 68 runs. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis was out for 16 but his opening partner Anuj Rawat went on to score 66 runs for the team. Virat Kohli mustered 48 runs with an 80-run partnership with Rawat. RCB won the game by 7 wickets in the end.

    CSK vs RCB: Match prediction

    CSK is yet to register a victory in the 15th edition of IPL. CSK did buy Mahesh Theekshana into the squad but he didn’t have a good impact in the game. U19 star Rajvardhan will be a player to watch for. RCB has won three matches in IPL 2022. High expectations are there from Faf du Plessis. The team also has some of the best finishers. Though CSK has a better history of winning games RCB has given a better performance this season. RCB will win the match.

    CSK vs RCB: Fantasy XI

    Faf du Plessis is leading RCB and although he got out cheaply in the previous match the South African batter has scored 138 runs in 4 matches at an average of 34.

    Wanindu Hasaranga picked up 8 wickets in 4 matches at an average of 15. He’s a good fantasy pick.

    Dwayne Bravo has picked up 6 wickets in 4 matches at a strike rate of 13.

    Josh Hazlewood will be making his debut for RCB and is a top-notch bowler in the T20 format.

    Anuj Rawat delivered a player of the match performance in the previous match and will be a top pick in this game.

    Robin Uthappa from Chennai Super Kings smashed 106 runs in this tournament so far and can turn out to be a key player in the next match.

    Moeen Ali from Chennai Super Kings has smacked 83 runs in this tournament so far.

    Ravindra Jadeja from Chennai Super Kings has marked 66 runs and took 1 wicket in this tournament so far.

    Virat Kohli has mustered a total of 106 runs in 4 matches. He’s also a good pick.

    Harshal Patel from RCB has picked 6 wickets in the last 4 matches and is a must pick.

    Chris Jordan has picked 2 wickets in 2 matches and hopefully, he’ll give an impressive performance.

    CSK’s bowling department looks dry without the presence of Deepak Chahar, Adam Milne and Chris Jordan. The bowlers need to pull up their socks and keep the opposition in check. Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Choudhary didn’t have an impactful performance against LSG. Dwayne Bravo has been IPL’s leading wicket-taker but he needs balanced support from others. Ravindra Jadeja needs to lead the team better in the next match. Ruturaj Gaikwad also needs to start performing better. Dhoni is expected to give strength to the middle overs and can definitely be a very good finisher.

    Punjab Kings

    Punjab Kings have a few power hitters but lost against Kolkata Knight Riders. They’re eager to win this match.

    The Punjab franchise can dominate the opposition with Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rajapaksa. Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan are considered to be consistent finishers. Kagiso Rabada came short against Andre Russell. The performance of Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar is very crucial that decides the result of the game.

    CSK vs PBKS: Match Prediction

    CSK due to the injured players have not been able to deliver well. They are at eighth in the table and need to make a solid comeback. On the other hand, Punjab Kings after losing the match with KKR dropped down to the sixth position. The match between CSK and PBKS will be a thriller where both will give each other a tough fight.

    CSK vs PBKS : Fantasy XI

    Robin Uthappa scored 50 of 25 balls at a strike rate of 200. He is enjoying opening the batting and will look to make it big.

    Shikhar Dhawan has been a very consistent player in the last few seasons and has scored well in both the matches this IPL, scoring 59 runs so far at a strike rate of 134.

    Mooen Ali has delivered for CSK time and again. He can be an advantage in the middle overs as PBKS do not have an off-spinner. He can also contribute in bowling.

    Kagiso Rabada is one of the better bowlers in this IPL and he will be a good option against this opposition. He bowls in the death over which makes him a very good pick.

    Dwayne Bravo picked 4 wickets in 2 matches at an average of 13.75. Hopefully, he will have the same performance in the next match.

    Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been spectacular in both matches this season and has a strike rate of more than 250.

    Robin Uthappa in the past two matches has scored 78 with ten boundaries and due to this performance, he’s a good pick.

    Mayank Agarwal in the last two matches has scored 33 runs and he looks like a promising contributor to the team.

    Liam Livingstone in the past two matches has mustered 38 runs and it’s expected that he’ll give the same performance in the next match.

    Arshdeep Singh in the past two matches has taken a single wicket and the youngster has the potential to pick significant wickets.

    Dwaine Pretorius has taken two wickets in a single match of IPL 2022 and definitely has the ability to do justice to the team.

    Avesh Khan has taken 1 wicket giving 33 runs to Gujarat Titans in the opening match. He has the ability to perform better in the next match.

    IPL 2022 is just two days away. Fans can’t hold their excitement to support their favourite teams and experience a thrilling season yet again. MS Dhoni, the former skipper of Chennai Super Kings has handed over the responsibility to the all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

    Dhoni led the team from the inaugural season and this is the first time that he will be associated with the team only as a player. The franchise has also confirmed this news on their website.

    It read as ” Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond”. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan stated that Dhoni desires the transition to be smooth and Jadeja was ready to take on the responsibility. In the team meeting on Thursday, Dhoni stated this decision, before the team left for training.

    In the first match which will be held on 26th March, the defending champions will be facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium.

    The CEO further added that “He felt it is the right time to hand over the captaincy to Jaddu [Jadeja]. He feels Jaddu is also in the prime form of his career and it is the ideal time for him to lead CSK. What will be good for the franchise must be [in the] back of his mind.”

    Jadeja has been a part of the team since 2012 and he is going to be the third player to lead the team after Dhoni and Suresh Raina.

    It may be a surprise for the cricket fans but not for the insiders of the CSK franchise. They have been talking about the succession plan from a year before and Jadeja is the best person to take the team forward.

    “He [Jadeja] has been talked to earlier. Even last year, there was a proposal. We knew he would be the best person to succeed MS.”- he said

    A lot of speculations and rumours have been floating around regarding Dhoni and for how many years he will be playing. Dhoni assured the fans last year that he will play for CSK for another year.

    Jadeja may have a lot of experience as a skipper but he is a terrific all-rounder and has a lot of experience playing for CSK under one of the best captains.
