IPL 2019 | Twitter explodes as Chennai Super Kings struggle against Sunrisers Hyderabad without MS Dhoni

After 121 consecutive IPL matches and 9 years, MS Dhoni was benched as he had a sore back. Chennai Super Kings got off to a good start but the lack of a finisher saw them ending with a low total of 132. The Twitterati went mental after CSK found it difficult to finish off the final overs.

Nine years is insane!

The four matches missed by MS Dhoni

CSK v DD (Delhi) 19 Mar 2010 (CSK won by 5 wkts)

CSK v KXIP (Chennai) 21 Mar 2010 (CSK lost by Super over)

CSK v RCB (Bangalore) 23 Mar 2010 (CSK lost by 36 runs)

CSK v SRH (Hyderabad) 17 Apr 2019

THALA DHONI played 121 successive games for CSK before missing today. 💪💛

This is ridiculous!

Hearing Crazy updates from stadium gates in Hyd. Sorry this is not done. Dhoni posters are not allowed, many fans are asked to leave flags aside & they are thrown on side, whereas fans can take SRH flags. When asked some security says IMG instructions
— Prabhu (@Cricprabhu)

Hmmmmm...

A day after World Cup squad is announced, Dhoni opts to rest. Somethings are just clear to the 👀

(😂)
— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS)

It is definitely going to hurt a lot for CSK fans!

Think CSK fans should slowly and gradually move on from Mahi.
— Mr. A 🏏 (@cricdrugs)

Maybe another 2 seasons left with him.

Because they're so so emotionally attached with him the withdrawal gonna be painful.
— Mr. A 🏏 (@cricdrugs)

Today's batting performance is proof!

CSK without is as same as RCB. 🙄
— Ashoke Purohit (@Sarcashok)

It's true! You understand the value of someone when they are not there!

Now haters understand the value of him.
— Girish Ghate (@girishgap)

CSK and Dhoni fans today!

Absence of Dhoni is clearly felt today!
— Satish_Vasisht (@SatishSrinivas7)

I know the result of this Match bcos Bhai is not playing today! 😭😭
— Manjeet Singh (@iMsParihar)

A frustrated fan's response!

Sit besides after getting a 4 Ball Duck. He will explain the procedure!
— Chandler Stark Kings (@SarcasmChamp)

CSK are clearly lacking motivation and only one man can motivate the bunch!

One person can really have impact in the team mentally
— Ruban. K. N (@Rubannatarajan)

CSK fans have become poets after MS Dhoni got rested!

Without Dhoni, CSK is like : A body without soul..Hope MS will come back in next match 👍👍

Let's pray for him 🙏🙏

West Indies drew the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch after ending the final day at 457/6. Chasing 531, Justin Greaves led a resilient batting display with an unbeaten double century, while Shai Hope and Kemar Roach also gave admirable support with a hundred and a fifty, respectively.

Why India was right in leaving Rayudu outread next

Ambati Rayudu was overlooked for the recently-announced 15-man Indian World Cup squad to make way for all-rounder Vijay Shankar who is tipped to bat at No. 4. Recently, Rayudu's form has been questionable and looked bereft of oomph against sides with quality pace attacks.
