The 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) is a special one for CSK as MS Dhoni is leading the Yellow Army for the record 200th time in the cash-rich league.

Dhoni won the toss during his 200th appearance for CSK and elected to bowl first. The decision, however, didn’t go as planned, with Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal taking the toll on CSK bowlers.

After losing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second over, Buttler and Padikkal steadied the innings with their counterattack. The duo added 77 runs for the second wicket and were looking unstoppable at the moment. Dhoni then went for Ravindra Jadeja, and the move worked for the Super Kings, with Jaddu breaking the partnership by removing Padikkal for 38 in the ninth over.

Jadeja dismissed Padikkal after the left-handed batter went for a glory shot but ended up getting caught at deep backward square leg by Devon Conway. Jaddu didn’t just stop there as he provided a double blow to RR by getting rid of their skipper Sanju Samson in the same over.

It happened during the penultimate delivery when Jadeja bowled an absolute cracker of a delivery which cleaned up Samson. The star all-rounder bowled a fullish and quicker delivery drifting into the middle and leg. The RR skipper made the mistake of going back as the white leather turned from there, past the back foot and smashed the off-stump. As soon as Jadeja cleaned up Samson, Dhoni was heard saying ‘Oh Yes’ as the veteran stumper clearly enjoyed the dismissal of his counterpart.

Here is the video:

The Royals ended up scoring 175/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Buttler was the top-scorer for RR, smashing 52 from 36 balls, including 3 sixes and a four. Apart from Buttler, Padikkal (38), Ravichandran Ashwin (30) and Shimron Hetmyer (30 no) chipped in with crucial contributions to take the team to a respectable total.
