While Kohli was all smiles, his good friend Dhawan watched it all, sitting with a flat expression in the dugout. Dhawan was quite engrossed in the game as he was praying and hoping for his team's second consecutive win. Alas, it did not happen.
Punjab began their campaign with a win against Delhi Capitals (DC) but they failed to win their second match, and first away game. Preity Zinta, one of the Punjab owners, had a weary look on her face to see her side go down after being in a winning position.
However, Punjab's NRR is still 0.025 and they are not lagging too behind in the points table, at the moment. Dhawan's PBKS are fifth on the table with 1 win from 2 matches. Their next match in IPL 2024 is against KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on March 30. Expect Preity to be there to see her side, hopefully, win that contest and strengthen their position in the standings.
As far as RCB are concerned, they got off to a terrible start in IPL 2024, losing the first match to CSK. They were nearing another loss before Dinesh Karthik played a blinder and finished the match in their favour, thanks to a 10-ball 29 run unbeaten innings. RCB are 6th on the table now with 1 win from 2 games but their NRR is in negative. They will be required to register a landslide victory in a couple of games to improve their NRR, which could be a deciding factor at the fag end of the tournament.

IPL 2024: After MS Dhoni Steps Down As CSK Captain, Virat Kohli Pens Emotional Note For 'Thala' | cricket news
In what comes as a piece of big news ahead of the IPL 2024 season, MS Dhoni has stepped down as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) handing the duties over to Ruturaj Gaikwad. The news has stunned the internet but understandably fans have accepted it slowly penning emotional notes for the legendary former captain. Some of the fans even labeled this season as 'End Of An Era' on social media as it is the first time neither Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are leading a single team.
Coming to Kohli, former RCB and India captain penned an emotional note for Dhoni after the news came in that he is no longer leading the Chennai franchise which he led to five IPL titles. (MS Dhoni Handsover CSK Captaincy To Ruturaj Gaikwad Day Before IPL 2024 Opener; Here's Why 'Thala' Chose Young Batter For Role; Know Here)
Checkout the post here:
Legendary captaincy tenure in yellow skip. A chapter fans will never forget. Respect always. @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/cz5AWkJV9S Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) March 24, 2022
“Legendary captaincy tenure in yellow skip. A chapter fans will never forget. Respect always,” read the post caption. (IPL 2024 RCB vs CSK Head To Head Record, Pitch Report, Weather Update, Squads: As MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli Come Face To Face, A Glimpse Into History)
The legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday “handed” over the Chennai Super Kings captaincy to opener Ruturaj Gaikwad on the eve of the IPL opener here, a stunning decision that is bound to send speculation swirling on his playing future with the franchise.
In a post on X, the Indian Premier League made the announcement a day before CSK take on Royal Challengers Bangaluru. The five-time champions issued a brief statement soon after.
“MS Dhoni has handed over Chennai Super Kings' captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of the start of TATA IPL 2024. Ruturaj has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2019 and has played 52 matches in IPL during this period. The team looks forward to the upcoming season,” said CSK.
There is speculation that Dhoni will retire at the end of the season and therefore the franchise felt the need for a smooth transition in the stalwart's presence as a player.
Gaikwad, who has played six ODIs and 19 T20s for India, made his CSK debut in 2020 and has gone on to represent the team in 52 games.
“Whatever Dhoni does, it is in the best interest of the team. I got to know of the decision just before the captains' meeting. You have to respect his decision, it is his call,” CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI.
The stylish opener had a memorable run last year, aggregating 590 runs in 16 games at an impressive strike rate of 147.50. His breakout year was 2021 when he amassed 635 runs in 16 games.The 27-year-old from Maharashtra is not new to captaincy, having led the Indian team to the gold medal in the Asian Games last year.
CSK and Dhoni share an unbreakable bond and the World Cup-winning captain is expected to keep a significant role in the franchise going forward albeit not as a player. CSK had attempted the leadership transition even in the 2022 edition but it did not work out with Ravindra Jadeja handing back the captaincy duties to Dhoni after eight games.
“It didn't work out at that time, this is different,” said Visawanathan. Dhoni officially announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020 but has kept playing the IPL.
The 42-year-old, who played with a dodgy knee last season, underwent a surgery after leading CSK to their fifth title.Dhoni has played as many as 250 IPL matches, scoring more than 5000 runs at a strike rate of 135.92. Due to his knee issues, Dhoni pushed himself down to number 8 in the batting order last season but after regaining full fitness, he is expected to bat higher up this edition. Former India pacer Irfan Pathan met Dhoni recently and claimed that the latter appears to be in good shape following the knee surgery.
“Last year, Dhoni said he was giving a gift to his fans with his cricket. I met with him a few days ago, he was playing pickleball for two hours non-stop. His knee was as fit as it ever was. It's an exciting time for fans; he now has his vintage old look. Will we get the vintage old Dhoni too?” Pathan asked on Star Sports.
“His role has changed in the past two years. He comes in lower-order, plays lesser deliveries but hits the big shots, the strike rate is high. It's a small innings but a memorable one.”I think there won't be much of a change in that this year. He will continue to play that role,” said Pathan.

However extra importantly for his staff, he’s enjoying the Tendulkar function within the 2011 International Cup. He, like Tendulkar, has been their talisman and the nucleus. The little grasp used to be India’s perfect run-getter within the 2011 version—482 runs at 53.55 together with two loads and as many half-centuries. This marketing campaign, Kohli has already piled 354 runs at a mean of 118 in 5 video games. Barring the Pakistan sport, he had a hand in each and every of India’s 5 wins this installment.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma used to be speechless when requested about Kohli’s shape and method. “Not anything a lot to mention about Virat. We’ve noticed him do that for such a lot of years. He backs himself to do the task,” he stated right through the presentation rite. There are not more superlatives left to provide an explanation for the genius of Kohli.
As treasured a participant he’s to his personal captain, he’s a nightmare to the rival captain. “As a captain, it’s important to be proactive but additionally paintings in your plans.

He used to be introduced a existence. However unfazed, he batted on and produced a masterclass on easy methods to anchor a chase on turners.

He picked an unbeaten half-century in opposition to Afghanistan on a belter, a l6 in opposition to Pakistan, prior to he orchestrated a chase with 103 now not out in opposition to Bangladesh. It used to be tough, in that India misplaced each the openers after a quick get started. They wanted somebody to respire calmness, exude endurance and shepherd the chase. Kohli used to be that guy. Then, he has been that guy since Tendulkar’s farewell. The person that carries a thousand million hopes on his shoulders.
It kind of feels metaphorical that Kohli hoisted Tendulkar on his shoulders for the lap of honour on the Wankhede after India’s International Cup triumph in 2011. Kohli would then say, poetically: “He has carried the hopes of a country for such a lot of years. This used to be that present from all of the ones other people for him as a result of he saved giving, giving, giving for India and I assumed what higher means at his house flooring to understand his dream after which he will get a lap of honour.”
