IPL 2023: MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings suffer a major blow as star pace bowler Sisanda Magala is set to be ruled out of action for 2 weeks. CSK played their last game against Rajasthan Royals at Chepauk and the home team went down in a nail-biter by 3 runs. Magala was part of the match and has hurt his finger while fielding in the first innings of the game.
Notably, CSK coach Stephen Fleming threw light on Magala’s injury and claimed that he is out for a couple of weeks. “Deepak Chahar is (out for) two-or three weeks, Simarjeet Singh… I am guessing a little but here… he is (out for) 10 days, Ben Stokes is improving day by day, Mukesh Choudhary is out, Magala is out for at least two weeks,” Fleming said in a post-match press conference.
Stokes missed CSK’s last two games due to a heel injury, while Moeen Ali, who missed the game against Mumbai Indians was back in the last game. Due to these injuries, head coach said that CSK are working on thin resources. “For us again, it’s losing another player – that’s two games in a row – and we’re already pretty thin, so we’d like it (injuries) to stop. Magala’s hand was split unfortunately, so he was unable to bowl those last two overs. And same with Deepak Chahar in the last game, so we’re operating on pretty thin resources. But we’re not the only team to have that,” he added.
Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings in a high-voltage match of IPL 2023 on Wednesday. In the match played at CSK’s home ground, MA Chidambaram stadium, RR beat the MS Dhoni-led team by 3 runs. The match was an absolute nail-biter as it went down the wire.
Coming to bat first after losing the toss, Sanju Samson-led team registered 175/8 in 20 overs. In response, Team CSK managed to chase 172 runs at a loss of 6 wickets.
