CSK skipper MS Dhoni issued a second warning to his bowlers, saying that if they do not get in line immediately, he will leave the team. Chennai Super Kings won their first point of the IPL 2023 season, defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs. The victory was especially special for the team because it came after more than 1000 days away from their home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Despite the heartwarming victory, CSK skipper MS Dhoni expressed his displeasure with the team's fast bowlers and warned them to improve. Although CSK made a strong comeback after losing their first game of the season, the team's bowlers' propensity to give away extra runs needs to be addressed. The pacers gave away 13 wides in their encounter against LSG at Chepauk, and Tushar Deshpande bowled three no-balls.

In just two matches, CSK's bowlers have allowed 17 wide balls and 7 no-balls. MS Dhoni is renowned for making rash decisions under pressure, but he will not tolerate a bowler who consistently bowls no-balls. During the post-match presentation, CSK captain gave a second warning to the team's bowlers, saying that if they do not correct their errors, he will leave the team. "Fast bowling - we need to improve slightly." Bowling must be done in accordance with the circumstances.

What matters is that you keep a watch on what the opposition bowlers are doing," Dhoni said. "They'll also have to bowl no no-balls or extra wides." Otherwise, they'll be forced to perform under a new captain. It'll be my second notice, and I'll be gone. "We've only scored those runs if the surface is good," he added.
