    Chennai Super Kings finally looked like themselves from the past couple of seasons of the Indian Premier League against KL Rahul’s Kings XI Punjab as they defeated them by 10 wickets and 14 balls to spare.
    Losing the toss, CSK were forced to bat second but it seemed as if it worked in their favour at the end of the day as openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis built a massive 181-run partnership, scoring 83* and 87* runs, respectively and drove their side to victory.

    With CSK skipper not even having the need to pad up for the win, head coach Stephen Fleming had a little bit of fun while chatting with the commentators. 
    Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar asked Fleming that if his team won the match without losing any wickets, nobody will complain about Dhoni’s batting number, isn’t it? To which, the Kiwi jokingly replied: "It will still come up maybe he should have batted at 1. I am prepared for it every time I have a press conference but it will be a nice situation to have it."

    The Context For Fleming’s ResponseFor the past couple of weeks, CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been criticised by fans and critics alike when they talk about how he has been demoting himself down the batting order despite being previously known to act as the finisher for his teams.
    Hii @SonuSood ,
    Can you please change #Dhoni's position in batting order from
    7th or 6th position to 3rd or 4th position .#CSK #Thala #MSDhoni #RRvsKXIP #KXIPvsRR #RahulTewatia #MayankAgarwal #IPL2020 #IPLinUAE #IPLT20

    The criticism felt justified too, as this is just the team’s second win in five games, holding them down on the sixth spot in the IPL 2020 points table. During the losses, fans wondered why the captain was sending comparatively inexperienced batsmen like Sam Curran and Kedar Jadhav before him.
    After the first couple of games, Dhoni had said that his decision of batting on the sixth or the seventh spot was made due to his long leave of absence from the game due to the pandemic and how the 14-day quarantine inside the IPL bio-bubble didn’t help him get his form back.
    MS Dhoni on coming late in the batting order:
    "Well, I haven't played in a long time. The quarantine didn't help either. I'm trying to get back slowly."

    If this were international cricket, could a player do something like this? The rules for the IPL are truly different.

    However, former teammate Virender Sehwag and rival Kevin Pietersen refused to buy Dhoni’s argument.
    The win against KXIP has to feel like a breath of fresh air, especially after the third consecutive loss they had incurred against SunRisers Hyderabad despite a valiant 47-run effort by Dhoni who finally returned to his usual number five spot to bat.
    Chennai was the finalist against Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians last season and won the trophy in 2018 as well. However, they hadn’t looked like the same team till their most recent match. For them, the job isn’t over as they must go on some sort of a winning streak if they wish to qualify for the Playoffs and eventually grab a shot at winning it all this season.
