It was trademark MS Dhoni because the Chennai Super Kings skipper pulled off a lightning fast stumping to dismiss Shubman Gill throughout the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 ultimate in opposition to Gujarat Titans on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. It was a flat supply from Ravindra Jadeja however Gill tried to play for the flip. The ball saved its line and the batsman misplaced his steadiness for a bit after lacking the supply fully. The cut up second was sufficient for Dhoni who was at it in a flash and was in a position to dislodge the bails earlier than Gill might return to the crease. Gill was dismissed after scoring 39 off 20 balls.

Dhoni gained the toss and opted to bowl in opposition to defending champions Gujarat Titans.

“We’ll bowl first with the rain forecast being around. Yesterday we were in the dressing room. As a cricketer, you always want to play. It was the crowd that suffered the most. Hopefully, we can entertain them. The pitch has been undercover for a long time, but throughout the tournament, the pitch has behaved well over here. Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we’ll be playing. Serves justice to the tournament like this. Same team,” CSK captain MS Dhoni mentioned on the time of the toss.

“Would’ve bowled first as well, but my heart wanted to bat so I don’t mind losing the toss. We spoke that it is something out of our control (weather). Whichever team plays better will have their hands on the trophy. I like keeping the boys cool, and they repay me. It’s a flat track (what he makes of the pitch?). Same team,” Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya mentioned.
