The 41st match of the IPL 2023 saw Chennai Super Kings (CSK) hosting Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 30 in a day game of a double header.
MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first much to the cheers of the sea of CSK supporters in the stadium. Chennai came in with the same team, while Shikhar Dhawan revealed that PBKS had included Harpreet Brar in the XI.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (37) and Devon Conway added 86 runs for the first wicket in 9.4 overs before Gaikwad fell to Sikandar Raza. Shivam Dube played a quick knock of 28 in 17 balls and Moeen Ali made 10 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja couldn’t do much scoring just 12 runs, but it was Devon Conway who batted throughout the innings and scored his highest IPL score of 92* in 52 balls with 16 fours and 1 six.
However, the moment in the last over of CSK innings was grabbed by MS Dhoni as he smacked Sam Curran for two back-to-back sixes on the last two balls of the 20th over to take CSK to 200/4 in 20 overs.
These sixes from ‘Thala’ was enough for the CSK followers in ground make deafening noises.
