“Didn’t you do this evening?” Ravi Shastri asked when Mrs. Dhoni came out at the presentation after the match after the hard defeat Chennai Super Kings for the Knight Knight riders on Friday’s unilateral unilateral conflict IPL 2025 in Chennai.
“It was quite a few nights that we failed,” Dhoni replied.
This short stock exchange has summed up the evening and season Chennai Super Kings like them dropped to their fifth consecutive defeat – The first in their Indian history Premier League. The very balanced domestic fortress CSK was violated for the third match in a row at the Ma Chidambarama stadium.
Hope was high when Mrs. Dhoni returned to the captain and entered after Ruturai Gaikwad was expelled for the injury season. Fitunes, however, continued to drop when he succumbed to one of the worst defeats in the history of IPL. CSK, limited to a poor 103 for 9 in their 20 overs, were thoroughly overly, when KKR chased the target with 59 balls and eight goals to save. | CSK vs Krkr emphasizing | Scorecard |
Again, the fragile highest order of CSK was revealed. The absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad was very felt when Devon Conway and Rachin Ravinddra tried to go to PowerPlay. In the first five breaks, CSK managed only 18 runs and by the end of the sixth end – their second lowest powerplay in the season.
“The challenge was there and we have to accept this challenge,” Dhoni said during the presentation.
“Today I felt that we didn’t have enough running on the record. When we bowed in the second shifts, the ball stopped a little – today it did the same in the first shifts. When you lose too many goals, there is pressure with quality spinners, it becomes difficult.
Dhoni advocates CSK PowerPlay access
While Conway and Rachin rescued again, Rahul Tripathi – brought the replacing the routurai – played painfully discontinuous shifts and managed only 16 runs from 22 supplies. At one point, CSK was 79 for 9 and it seemed that they were at risk of recording their total number of the lowest IPL. 31 of the 29 Shivam Dube, however, ensured that they were scratching around a 100-run brand.
The numbers reflect the fighting CSK in PowerPlay – they have the worst average strike rate during the first six breaks in IPL 2025. In six matches they exceeded the 50 -run brand in PowerPlay only twice.
Despite the criticism, Mrs. Dhoni prevented the CSK access in the upper part of the order and pointed to the lack of traditional power in their line -up. The five -time captain who won the IPL emphasized the importance of playing for the strengths of the team and focusing on building partnerships for later acceleration.
“It is important to read the conditions,” Dhoni said. “We have done well in several games. They support your strengths and play on the shots you can play. Don’t try to match the style of someone else’s game. Our opening are good opening – they play authentic cricket shots.
“It is important that he does not desperately look at Scorecard. If we start to focus on 60 runs in PowerPlay with our line -up, it will be very difficult for us. We must have partnerships, perhaps earn to the center and later crossing, and if we lose the goals soon.
The difference in the approach was Stark: CSK could not hit one six in powerplay, while Kkr broke seven in the first six overs.
With five defeats in six matches, Chennai Super Kings now disappears in ninth place Table 10-team points in IPL 2025.
