With last night’s 54-run defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS), defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have endured their worst start in IPL history. Before this season, the Chennai-based outfit had never opened its campaign with two consecutive losses. However, the 15th edition has been their worst start to the season. They have suffered three consecutive losses in as many games and it has left them languishing second from bottom in the 10-team IPL 2022 points table. View this post on Instagram Having restricted PBKS to 180 for eight on a batting paradise, the CSK bowlers had done a tremendous job. The onus was on their batters to get them over the line, but all of them, barring Shivam Dube, put up a horrendous show, which included their former skipper MS Dhoni. Half of CSK was back in the hut with only 36 runs on the board and it forced Dhoni to rebuild the innings with a cautious knock. With each dot ball, the required run-rate was going through the roof but the former CSK skipper showed no intention whatsoever and kept on playing a ‘Test’ knock. View this post on Instagram When 107 runs were required off the last seven overs, it was evident that runs were from both ends but Dhoni was in no mood to go through his gears. With each dot ball, the pressure was mounting on Dube and he finally perished after a valiant effort, smashing 57 off 30 balls. The required run-rate was well above 15 runs an over and Dhoni was batting on 11 off 21 deliveries. Watching his knock, it seemed like he was playing on a different surface altogether. He made batting look so difficult and dug up a huge hole for himself. View this post on Instagram More than the defeat, what hurt the fans the most was Dhoni’s lack of intent. It seemed as if he had already given up on the match and was playing to reduce the margin of the humiliation. Obviously, the supporters were pissed at Dhoni’s ‘useless’ knock and they trolled him brutally for his Test-match-like knock. Some fans even joked that through this knock he wanted to popularise the longest format of the game.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) began their IPL 2022 journey with a disappointing five-wicket loss against fellow debutants Gujarat Titans, but the franchise’s skipper KL Rahul has still managed to find a silver lining in their maiden defeat in the cash-rich league. Unlike most fans, the 29-year-old opener wasn’t too disheartened by the close defeat and said that although they ended up on the wrong side of the results, it “felt like a win” because of the incredible fight of his teammates which helped them remain in the contest throughout the match. This one felt like a win because of the way we fought. Proud @LucknowIPL pic.twitter.com/mNXuy6sLfo — K L Rahul (@klrahul11) March 29, 2022 Taking to the micro-blogging site, the Karnataka batter wrote: “This one felt like a win because of the way we fought. Proud @LucknowIPL.” Rahul is right. The LSG batters indeed showed great fighting spirit and took them to a competitive total despite losing four wickets for just 29 runs inside the powerplay. And lower-middle order batters all the praise for their incredible knocks. In the air & taken! First-over strike from Dushmantha Chameera as @LucknowIPL get an early success with the ball. @HoodaOnFire takes the catch. Follow the match https://t.co/u8Y0KpnOQi#TATAIPL | #GTvLSG pic.twitter.com/QBdHGZL9Yn — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 28, 2022 However, it’s also true that at one stage his side was in the driver’s seat and they would have most probably come out on the top had he played their cards right and not messed up the last few overs when the opposition needed 68 runs to win off 30 balls. After the defeat, the LSG fans were already upset with the right-handed opener’s poor captaincy skills and his unapologetic tweet made them even angrier and they started bashing him left, right and centre. View this post on Instagram “Felt like a win; was a loss though,” wrote one angry user, in reply to Rahul’s tweet. “Stop feeling and start winning,” was the response of another user, who was not happy with Rahul not acknowledging his mistake and sweeping the defeat under the carpet.

Aise RCB wali trophy milegi... IPL wali nahiiiii — Yakshit (@yakshitshh) March 29, 2022 Would feel like a win if he could use his bowlers better. — Saikat Sanyal (@CorkingToon) March 29, 2022Not just this tweet, Rahul’s remarks to the host broadcasters after his side lost the match had also pissed off several fans “It was a phenomenal game. What a way to start the campaign. Starting off like that with the bat was not ideal but the way we recovered was phenomenal. It gives us so much confidence when the batters in the middle and lower order can do the job. We couldn't have started the campaign in any better way,” said Rahul, when asked to reflect on his side’s performance. View this post on Instagram Talking about the positives is not the only job of a leader. His job is also to point out the mistakes – be it tactical or anything else – which cost them the match. It’s just the beginning and the LSG fans would be hoping that Rahul, apart from finding silver linings in their losses, also starts identifying the areas they need to improve on.

The BCCI’s initial decision to hold the upcoming first Test against Sri Lanka behind closed doors received a huge backlash on social media. The Virat Kohli fans were pissed at the BCCI because it was going to be their favourite cricketer’s landmark 100th Test appearance and they wanted to become a part of this special match. The man who took test cricket to an exceptional height, the man for whom crowd started coming to watch test matchs again definitely deserves better...#AllowCrowdinMohali pic.twitter.com/YXjG2XHTxV — ᴅɪᴠʏᴀɴꜱʜ (@Lost_D18) February 28, 2022 The angry fans had taken over the social networking sites in the last few days urging the BCCI to consider their request and allow spectators into the stadium. With just a few days left in the encounter, the BCCI has finally agreed to ease the restrictions and allow spectators into the stadium for Kohli’s 100th Test match. © Reuters According to the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, this change in stance had nothing to do with the public outrage and was taken solely on the basis of government directives. “Virat Kohli's 100th test match will have no restrictions. BCCI asks the state associations to open up on the basis of govt directives. It is as per the government norms,” Ganguly told news agency ANI. © Reuters “Punjab Cricket Association will have a crowd as per government norms in Mohali Test. I have spoken to PCA president Rajinder Gupta and there will be no restrictions,” he added. Ganguly might not be willing to admit this whole social media campaign by Kohli supporters forced them to reverse their decision but the BCCI secretary Jay Shah did hint that apart from the state directives, there were “various factors” that made the board reconsider its original decision and allow fans into the stands. © BCCL “The first Test between India and Sri Lanka to be played at the Punjab Cricket Stadium in Mohali will not be held behind closed doors. The decision to allow spectators into the ground is one taken by the State Cricketing Associations and in the present circumstances, is based on various factors,” Jay Shah told ANI. “I have spoken with the PCA office bearers and they have confirmed that cricket fans will be able to witness the historic moment of Virat Kohli playing his 100th Test match,” he added. © Reuters Even since the decision was announced last evening, the Kohli supporters are celebrating it as their own victory. They strongly believe that if not for their outrage, the board would have conducted the match behind closed doors and deprived the fans an opportunity to savour the historic match live from the stands. The BCCI has allowed 50% crowd at Mohali for the first Test between India and Sri Lanka. This is what his Fanbase can do , Virat Kohli GOAT for a reason.#INDvSL#AllowCrowdinMohali #ViratKohli𓃵 #100thtest #KingKohli pic.twitter.com/lCtAPJI2G0 — Kirkut Expert (@kirkut__expert) March 1, 2022BCCI set to allow 50% of crowd for the 100th Test of Virat Kohli at Mohali.#ViratKohli #CricketTwitter #BCCI #MohaliTest #Mohali pic.twitter.com/92xK72z8Mu — Dhruv.

Great For Rohit Fans As Well As We Will See Crowd In His First Test Match As Test Captain. — SAKSHAM GARG () / ROHIT () IT CELL MEMBER (@sakshamgarg100) March 1, 2022Power of King Virat Kohli FC — Mahesh_ Virat (@King_okkadu) March 1, 2022It’s true that the BCCI wouldn’t have been able to reverse its decision without getting a green signal from the state government but it also raises one pertinent question as to what changed overnight. Was it that the BCCI hadn’t asked the state government to revise their COVID-19 norms earlier and did so only after getting slammed on the micro-blogging site. © Reuters After all, the COVID-19 cases in the country have been on a downward spiral for a while now and if the state norms can be relaxed now, it could’ve been done earlier as well had the BCCI pushed for it. The BCCI is already going through a lot of scrutiny these days and they could have easily avoided this fresh barrage of criticism had they been a little more proactive. View the full article
