Board of Control for Cricket in India announced in a statement on Tuesday, April 30, that Rohit Sharma as captain of a 15-man T20 World Cup will lead the squad and Hardik Pandya will serve as vice captain. Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal were rewarded for their outstanding IPL performances as they are included in the list while Rinku Singh and KL Rahul were two of the greatest misses.

As was to be expected, Virat Kohli and rookie opener Yashasvi Jaiswal were included in the 15-man roster. Batsman and wicketkeeper in the IPL Rishabh Pant, was selected for the T20I team following his valiant comeback to competitive play. Pant was not a consistent member of the T20 Indian Premier League (IPL) before his vehicle accident in December 2022. Nonetheless, he put on an incredible display with the bat and the gloves, scoring 398 runs in 11 games.

When Rohit Sharma was resting from T20Is to concentrate on the lead-up to the ODI World Cup last year, Hardik led India in 16 games. Additionally, seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube, who has been belting sixes for CSK in the IPl 2024, has been selected by India.

MS Dhoni wrote a new chapter in IPL history by becoming the first player to feature in 150 triumphs in the T20 competition’s history, on Sunday, April 28. Dhoni accomplished the feat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, when the Super Kings crushed the SunRisers by 78 runs, bowling out the batting heavyweights for a meager 134 runs.

Having participated in the T20 league from its inception in 2008, MS Dhoni has participated in 259 IPL games. With five titles, the 42-year-old is tied for the most successful captain in the IPL. Before the current season began, Dhoni gave tha charges of captainship to Ruturaj Gaikwad.

With 133 wins, MS Dhoni now holds the record for being the most successful skipper in IPL history. With 87 victories, Rohit Sharma holds the second position.

After Ruturaj Gaikwad was out for 98 on Sunday, MS Dhoni walked into bat in the last over of the CSK innings, saving another cameo appearance for the Chepauk audience. As CSK amassed a massive 212, Dhoni struck a boundary off the opening delivery he faced and took a single off the next to stay undefeated on 5 off 2.

On a day when the Super Kings dominated Sun Risers in all three areas, Dhoni also grabbed a catch with the gloves. Daryl Mitchell made a swift fifty run comeback and tied an IPL record with five outfield catches.

In his cameo appearances, Dhoni has looked amazing at bat. With a strike rate of 257, the wicketkeeper-batter has amassed 96 runs in just 37 balls. On multiple occasions, Dhoni’s late-overs heroics have turned out to be game-changing blows. At the Wankhede Stadium, he unleashed a devastating attack on Hardik Pandya. The former captain hit three consecutive sixes and finished with four balls and twenty, which proved to be the difference between CSK and MI in the El Clasico.

After defeating SRH by 78 runs, CSK easily returned to the top 4. They are currently in third place with 10 points from 9 games.
