The action returned in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a doubleheader Wednesday. The day's first game featured Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings playing at the Ekana Sports City Stadium. In contrast, the second game would see the Punjab Kings hosting the Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Mumbai.

Talking of the first game, it had to be called off due to rain in Lucknow. The home team played for nearly the entire 20 overs, as the game had to be called off after 19.2 overs of play. The LSG reached 125/7 on an extremely challenging wicket. Ayush Badoni was the stand-out batter for LSG with 59 off 33. Moeen Ali, Maheesh Theeksana and Matheesha Pathirana returned with two-wicket hauls for Chennai Super Kings. At the same time, Ravindra Jadeja bagged one.

Ayush Badoni did a flying kiss celebration

As Ayush Badoni celebrated scoring a 50, he attracted the attention of many fans. Badoni pulled a Virat Kohli and gave a flying kiss as he struck Deepak Chahar for a six against CSK to achieve his fifty. Before the game, MS Dhoni also attracted attention with his witty reply to shut Danny Morrison's enquiries about his retirement.

Danny Morrison asked," How you're enjoying your last season?" "You've decided that it's my last season, not me," MS Dhoni replied with a laugh. The audience laughed enthusiastically as Dany Morrison said Dhoni would return in 2024. Fans have flooded the comments section of the incident's popular video on social media.

Next, in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Sunrisers Hyderabad will host the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The Sunrisers bounced back after three consecutive losses with a close win over Delhi Capitals in their previous game. At the same time, the Knight Riders lost their two-game winning streak against Gujarat Titans in their last game. They'd be particularly interested in regaining their winning form.
