India’s star pace bowler Mohammed Shami has taken exception to the animated chat between Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain KL Rahul, which has gone viral on social media. In the video, Sanjiv Goenka can be seen upset with KL Rahul after Sun Risers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets. Mohammed Shami said that LSG team owner’s behaviour is a matter of shame, and the same thing could have been done in the dressing room or the hotel.

Mohammad Shami spoke to the media where he said players have respect, and the LSG Owner is a respectful person, too. He added many people are watching him and learning from him. He said such behaviour in public domain is a matter of shame… ye sharam ki baat hai.

The star pacer said if Goenka had to do it, then there are many different ways. He could’ve done the same thing in the dressing room or the hotel. It was not necessary at all to do it on the field in front of the media. Aise reaction dekar laal qile pe jhanda toh gaada nahi hai aapne (He did not prove anything by behaving in such manner).

Mohammed Shami said that cricket is an unpredictable game and anything is possible.  He pointed out that KL Rahul is the captain of the team and is not a regular player and such behaviour in public domain sends a wrong message. He further added that cricket is a team game and he cannot blame one player.

According to reports speculations are high that KL Rahul may leave Lucknow Super Giants after the 17th season. Meanwhile, LSG are still in the hunt for the playoffs as the team has collected 12 points from 12 games and they need to win their remaining matches to play in the next round.

CSK official reveals MS Dhoni’s plan on retirement

CSK was eliminated from IPL 2024 after a defeat by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their final league match on Saturday.

The former captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), MS Dhoni, hasn’t yet announced his retirement plan or whether he plans to continue his career in the IPL, but a CSK official has revealed a message Dhoni gave to the management.

CSK was eliminated from IPL 2024 after a defeat by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their final league match on Saturday. Both teams had 14 points each, but due to a higher net-run rate, RCB led by Faf du Plessis qualified for the playoffs. CSK fans were sad not only about the defeat of their team but also about the fact that they might see MS Dhoni for the last time in the IPL. However, a CSK official has revealed that he hasn’t commented on his potential retirement.

The unnamed CSK official revealed that Dhoni has requested that the team management hold off on any decisions regarding his retirement for a few months. He said that Dhoni himself hasn’t reached a conclusion and might be considering another season.

The official also mentioned that Dhoni felt comfortable with his running between the wickets during the IPL, a key concern for some fans regarding his age. Additionally, the introduction of the impact player rule in IPL 2024 might influence Dhoni’s decision. This rule allows teams to bring in a substitute player during the second strategic break, potentially offering Dhoni a more specific role within the team that is less physically demanding.

With Dhoni maintaining his silence and the possibility of the ‘Impact Player’ rule working in his favour, CSK fans might not have seen the last of their beloved captain just yet. The official said that the management would wait for Dhoni’s message on the topic and added that MS Dhoni has always had the best interests of the team in mind.
