The Rajasthan Royals (RR) posted a video of their captain, Sanju Samson, and the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), MS Dhoni, batting together in the nets. A hilarious remark accompanied the video. When this story was written, the video had already been watched half a million times on Twitter. In the video, Sanju and Dhoni can be seen in the same shot smashing the net bowlers as they get ready for the upcoming match between CSK and RR. In the description, RR wrote, “Will you stop watching this repeatedly?” “No, not at all.” In 2021, when Dhoni told the official broadcaster that he wouldn’t quit at the end of the season, the phrase “Definitely Not” went viral.
Chennai Super Kings:
The defending winners, Gujarat Titans (GT), beat Dhoni’s CSK in the first game of the 2023 IPL. But they have been on the winning side ever since. After losing to GT, CSK faced the Lucknow Super Giants and beat them by 12 runs for their first win of the season. The next game was the “El Clasico” of the IPL, which CSK won by a big score of 7 wickets. They are feeling good right now and are ready to take on RR, who are also starting to look strong. MSD said he would return to the IPL the following year because he wanted to play one last time in front of the Chennai crowd. This season is likely to be his last.
Rajasthan Royals:
RR started the IPL 2023 with a bang. In their first game of the league, they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 72 runs to get their first win. In the second game, however, they lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 5 runs in a close match. After losing, RR came back strong and beat the Delhi Capitals (DC) easily in their third match of the season.
RR is in second place in the IPL 2023 Points Table with two wins from two games, while CSK is in fifth place with the same number of victories from three games. With an NRR of 2.067, RR is better than CSK. If they win tonight, they can pass LSG (NRR 1.048) and become number one.
