MS Dhoni issued a fresh warning to Chennai bowlers

The legendary cricketer was not entirely satisfied with the bowling performance of the Yellow Brigade.

In their first home game of the new season, the bowling attack starring Deepak Chahar threw three no-balls and as many as 13 wides. They won't be able to bowl any no-balls or wides. "They'll be playing under a new captain if we don't cut out too many extra deliveries," Dhoni stated at the post-match presentation.

The previous India captain and CSK symbol likewise passed his decision on the Chepauk pitch which created a flat out run-fest in the sixteenth time of the money rich association. Fast fire thumps from Devon Conway (47), Gaikwad (57) and Ambati Rayudu (27) assisted Dhoni's CSK in recording the most noteworthy score of the continuous IPL with preparing at Chepauk. Moeen Ali took four wickets as CSK restricted LSG to 205 for 7 in 20 overs, delivering the goods with the bat in the high-scoring match.

"It was a great game with a lot of points scored. We were all imagining how the wicket would look. We questioned it. The game scored a lot. Overall, I believe it was a flawless first game, and it was a full house for our first game in five or six years. I was anticipating a much slower pace. It was a wicket where runs could be scored, but it got a little slower overall. "Hopefully we can score here, but we'll have to see how it goes over the next six games at home," Dhoni stated.

Dhoni made a brief cameo appearance in CSK's victory over LSG and defeated Mark Wood with consecutive sixes in the final over.
