On Wednesday, Chennai Super Kings continued their dominance at Chepauk by defeating Delhi Capitals by 27 runs, effectively eliminating David Warner's squad from quarterfinal contention. MS Dhoni, captain of the CSK, once again commanded his troops effectively. Dhoni led by example as his cameo of 20 runs off 9 deliveries gave CSK the late impetus it required.
Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan stated that Chepauk is the only team in the IPL whose fans continue to cheer even after the dismissal of the home team's batters because they anxiously anticipate the entrance of MS Dhoni onto the field.
Irfan Pathan stated on Star Sports Studio that Chepauk is the only venue in the globe where spectators applaud when a wicket falls for the home team. Reason - MSD walks up to the plate. The audience greets its beloved Thala with open arms and expects sixes from him."
Young CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana's performance against Delhi Capitals, in which he took a handful of wickets, elevated his reputation. Irfan believes that Pathirana is the ideal replacement for Dwayne Bravo.

"Every team seeks a bowler on whom they can rely in the final overs." MI possessed Malinga, while they have Bumrah. KKR had Sunil Narine during the two IPL seasons in which they won the championship. CSK previously had Bravo and now has Pathirana. He is an ideal replacement and possesses authentic speed," Pathan added.
