Following his stupendous performance during the West Indies tour to Australia, this will mark Joseph’s first stint in the iconic T20 tournament in India.
“Joseph will join LSG for Rs 3 Crore. The speedster was recently at the forefront during West Indies’ Test win at the Gabba. He picked 7 wickets in the 2nd innings to script a historic win in Australia for West Indies. This will be Joseph’s first stint in the IPL,” IPL stated in an official statement.
Earlier this week, the 24-year-old was nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month Award for January 2024. The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the nominees.
During his Test debut, right-armer Joseph made an immediate impact, taking Australia batsman Steve Smith’s wicket with his first delivery.
Joseph scooped up four Australian wickets on his debut in Adelaide, finishing with fantastic numbers of 5-94. He followed this up with solid scores of 36 and 15 when he batted for his side at No. 11.
The star pacer delivered an even greater effort in the West Indies’ victory over Australia in the second Test in Brisbane, bowling 7-68 to help the Caribbean side win their first Test in Australia since 1997. He scored 57 runs at 28.50 in two Tests and grabbed 13 wickets at an impressive 17.30.
It sounds like Joseph’s cricket journey is taking some interesting turns! Despite the setback with the toe injury preventing him from playing for the Dubai Capitals in the ILT20 season, it’s promising that he’s attracting attention from teams like Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL. And it’s quite a testament to his potential that Daren Sammy sees him as a viable option for the West Indies T20 World Cup squad, especially considering his limited experience in T20 cricket so far. It’ll be exciting to see how Joseph continues to develop and whether he can make an impact on the international stage.

Dhoni is a celebrity who remains a humble soul despite all the riches and successes he has seen. Chef Suresh revealed one such story when Dhoni made his day.

In 2018, during an Indian team visit to Thiruvananthapuram for an ODI against West Indies, chef Suresh had meticulously crafted a special seafood dish for the non-vegetarian members, knowing Dhoni’s fondness for Butter Chicken Masala, as indicated in his X bio. Excitement turned to apprehension when news arrived that Dhoni wished to speak with him in his room.
When the whole world was celebrating the legend and the heart of Indian Cricket yesterday night, I was still in awe of the time I had the privilege of serving him 5 years back.

Chef Suresh, initially frozen with awe at the prospect of meeting his idol, hastily made his way to Dhoni’s room, abandoning the lift in his rush. Contrary to his fears, Dhoni greeted him warmly, inquiring about the evening’s menu. Suresh nervously revealed the seafood preparation tailored for the cricketers, only to learn that Dhoni was allergic and preferred a familiar chicken curry with rice, also requesting a spicy rasam for his sore throat.
Faced with a tight timeframe, the chef hurried to the kitchen, determined not to disappoint the cricketing legend. “Within 20 minutes, I delivered the meal to room no. 302: Chettinad Chicken, Basmati Rice, Roasted Pappadam, and a peppery garlic-infused Rasam,” recounted the chef.
Dhoni relished his meal, clearing his plate contentedly before retiring for the night. The following morning, as he readied himself for the gym, he sought out chef Suresh to express his gratitude once more for the delightful dinner. The chef, deeply moved by Dhoni’s gesture, cherishes the moment when the cricket icon personally thanked him for the meal.

LIVE | Chennai Super Kings (CSK) IPL 2024 Auction Retained & Released Players List: MS Dhoni’s Team Have Six Slots To Fill | cricket news
Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be aiming to win the next edition, which is IPL 2024, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The talismanic skipper has won five titles for the CSK franchise and does not want to leave before he makes CSK the greatest IPL side of all times. Currently CSK and Mumbai Indians (MI) share this honour, having won the titles five times each.
In IPL 2024, the focus will be on who Dhoni passes on the baton to. Ravindra Jadeja was tried as captain but that experiment fell flat in IPL 2022 as Dhoni was asked to lead again midway through the tournament. In this case, the biggest contender to do the job could be dashing opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. This youngster from Maharashtra has made a name for himself batting at the top at CSK. He is loved in Chennai by the fans and has the same sense of calmness in going about things like Dhoni.
CSK have a strong squad with plenty of top players in the side in the form of Dhoni, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner. They have retained the players thinking how they can make best use of the home conditions. The Chennai track assists spinners and batters who just don’t play slam-bang cricket. CSK have been very smart at the auctions as CEO Kasi Viswanathan is quite a genius with the investments. That’s the reason why they have made so many finals and won five trophies.
For a franchise to miss two seasons, in 2016 and 2017 due to suspension, and come back so strongly to win three more titles, requires able leadership and Dhoni provides the same with his superb tactical acumen and man-management skills.
CSK Purse Available: Rs 31.40 crore
CSK Slots Remaining: Six (Three Overseas)
Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Nishant Sindhu, Ajay Mandal, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Chowdhary. , Prashant Solanki, Simarjeet Singh, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana
