New Delhi: The expression on the face of Captain Mahendry Singh Dhoni said it all that Chennai Super Kings suffered another defeat-in Friday the time on five goals for Sunrisers Hyderabad at Ma Chidambaram in Chennai on Friday. The visibly disappointed Dhoni admitted that a total of 154 was by far “justifiable” on the Chepauk playground, which had no demons, because SRH brought almost a fatal wound CSK IPL 2025 playoffs chance.
Sunrisers chased a modest goal for only 18.4 overs. Dhoni pointed out that it is always difficult when several players can’t deliver at the same time.
He also believed that SRH burned under slightly harder conditions in the second shift, but CSK could not earn. For the captain, the lack of cohesion in the overall team’s effort was most frustrating.
“I think we were constantly losing the goals and the next thing is in the first shifts that the goal was a little better and 157 was not justifiable score,” Dhoni said after the loss of CSK.
“It didn’t include a lot, a little two-color, but nothing unusual. Yes, the other shifts that there was a bit of help. Our sprays, quality were there and they were bowling in the right areas, but we were 15-20 runs,” he added.
Dhoni, in the commentary on Dewald Brevis, said, “(on Brevis) I think he really detonated and we needed it in the middle order. When the spinning boots are coming, you will do it either Batsmanship or choose the right areas, but that’s an area where we want to improve because medium crossing is essential.”
Dhoni thought about the wider problems that troubled the team and did not stay.

“In such a tournament, if there are one or two areas for engaging holes, it’s good, but when most players don’t go well, you have to make changes. You can’t just continue. We just don’t run enough to run,” he said.
With this victory, SRH moved to the eighth place in the point table and registered three victories and six losses a total of six points.
Meanwhile, CSK sits on the bottom with only two wins from nine games and only four points.
