The second leg of the IPL 2021 started with a bang yesterday with an absolute thriller played between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first but the MI bowlers were literally on fire as CSK was 24/4 at one point of time. However, the opener Ruturaj Gaikwad played a superb innings of 88 runs and he got good support from Ravindra Jadeja (26) and Dwayne Bravo (23) as a result of which CSK managed to put up a score of 156/6 in its stipulated 20 overs.
Though this score was not big enough for a team like MI which has a very strong batting line-up, Rohit Sharma was not in the playing squad yesterday and Kieron Pollard was leading the team in Hitman’s absence. Despite a fighting fifty from Saurabh Tiwary, MI could score only 136/8 in 20 overs as no other batsman was able to show resistance to the CSK bowling and consequently, CSK won the match by 20 runs.
Now CSK is on the first spot in the points table and many former cricketers including Virender Sehwag are praising MS Dhoni for his wonderful captaincy in the match. Viru paaji said that Dhoni was totally spot on and the manner in which he used his bowlers was quite effective. Sehwag is of the opinion that Mahi doesn’t plan before the game starts and he takes decisions as per the situation on the field. Moreover, Dhoni uses his bowlers by observing the opposition batsmen, for eg., if a batsman is quite comfortable against pacers, he will bring in spinners and vice-versa.
Virender Sehwag gave the example of how Dhoni got Ishan Kishan out. Viru said that when Dwayne Bravo was bowling, Dhoni kept four fielders inside to ensure that the batsmen were not able to take singles which created opportunities for taking wickets and this is how Ishan Kishan was sent back to dug-out. As per Sehwag, there is no doubt that Dhoni is a good skipper but it is also true that his bowlers also make sure that they bowl as per the field setup.
Virender Sehwag also states that Dhoni has the sharpest brain in the IPL 2021. Talking about the turning point of the game, Viru said that it was when Josh Hazlewood was brought in to bowl the MI skipper Kieron Pollard because Dhoni knew that Pollard wasn’t going to miss the chance of hitting the spinner and Pollard’s wicket turned the game completely in CSK’s favor.
Do you think that CSK will win the IPL 2021?

The Indian skipper Virat Kohli has once again left his fans in a shocked, surprised and dejected state. Earlier he announced that he would leave captaincy of India’s T20 team after the ICC T20 World Cup which will be played in UAE and Oman after the IPL 2021 and now he has made another statement in which he states that it is his last IPL season as a skipper and he will leave captaincy of Royal Challengers Bangalore after this tournament.
However, the RCB skipper has made it clear that he will play for RCB only till his last IPL match. He also thanks fans for the love and support that they have shown in his abilities.
While announcing his decision to quit captaincy of the T20 Indian team, Virat stated huge workload as the reason for taking this decision. He also says that now he wants to focus more on test matches and ODIs and this time again, he has talked about managing his workload.
Virat Kohli himself made the announcement of giving up RCB’s captaincy in a video which was shared on the official handle of RCB with the caption,
“Virat Kohli to step down from RCB captaincy after #IPL2021
‘This will be my last IPL as captain of RCB. I’ll continue to be an RCB player till I play my last IPL game. I thank all the RCB fans for believing in me and supporting me.’: Virat Kohli
#PlayBold #WeAreChallengers”
RCB fans are pretty upset and heartbroken with this recent development and few of them even say that they won’t be watching a single match of RCB if Virat Kohli is not the skipper.

Virat Kohli has been associated with RCB since the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 and since 2013, he has been leading the team but RCB is still waiting to win its first IPL title. The Indian team has also performed well under the leadership of Virat but it is also true that the Indian cricket team hasn’t won any major tournament under his captaincy. Last time India won an ICC tournament was in 2013 when MS Dhoni was the skipper of the Indian squad and in the T20 World Cup which is going to take place after the IPL 2021, MS Dhoni will be donning the new role of mentor.
