Chennai Super Kings superstar MS Dhoni has a huge fan base across India and in every match, fans chant his name and cheer for his every move. However, ahead of the IPL 2024 match against Lucknow Supergiants at Ekana Stadium, the city of Lucknow welcomed him with some cheeky hoardings that have gone viral. One of the signs read: “We hope Dhoni hits a six (par) on the last ball, with 12 runs left to win. (We were hoping MS Dhoni would hit a six off the last ball of the match but CSK were chasing 12 runs at that time). “

The other one says—”We hope Dhoni performs well and LSG should win the game. (We wanted Dhoni to play well but LSG ended up winning the game)”.

Meanwhile, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma expressed his feelings about the ‘Impact Player’ rule being introduced in IPL 2023. Rohit, in a recent interaction, said that he does not like the rule as it may end up hindering the growth of Indian all-rounders.

“Ultimately, cricket is played with 11 players instead of 12. I’m not a big fan of the ‘Impact Player’, you get so much out of the game just for the sake of a bit of entertainment for those around you, ” he pointed out.

“…I can give you many examples, people like Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube are not available. It is not a situation for us (Indian team) A good thing. I don’t know what you can do but frankly, I don’t like it,” he said.

“It’s interesting because with 12 players, whoever is the impact player, you can change a player later and see how the game goes depending on how the pitch goes.” “If you hit the ball Well, don’t lose wickets, you can add another bowler, you have 6-7 bowlers, if the team is batting well in the front, you don’t need extra batsmen. You can barely watch. Until No. 7 or 8 comes to bat,” Rohit concluded.
