The 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is reaching its crucial phase, with the competition intensifying both on the field and in the points table. All teams are fiercely competing against each other, as the points table remains wide open, providing every team with a chance to secure one of the top 4 positions.
In the 55th match of the IPL 2023, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led by MS Dhoni are facing off against David Warner’s Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
An amusing incident occurred after the toss, involving MS Dhoni and his teammate Deepak Chahar. As the CSK captain was walking away, he playfully attempted to slap Chahar, catching him off guard and leaving him bewildered. It was a light-hearted moment as Dhoni tried to prank the right-handed pacer while heading back to the dressing room.
The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.

Coming back to the toss, Dhoni won the flip of the coin and elected to bat first.
“We will bat first. We have played a few games on this wicket. There are chances of this wicket slowing down. We can’t complain about this track. We try to keep it simple. We try to keep reiterating the same thing. Try to accomplish your plan. Try to execute your plans. We have one change. Rayudu comes in for Dube,” the CSK skipper said at the toss.
