Lost CSK hope Play -off? MS Dhoni indicates IPL 2026 planning

Captain Chennai Super Kings MS Dhoni has indicated that it may be time for the team to move the focus on reconstruction for the next season of the Indian Premier League. Dhoni’s comments came after Chennai was hampered by Mumbai Indians on Sunday, April 20.

The frustrated Dhoni spoke to the broadcast operator right after the match and blamed their bad launch in the middle overs for loss. He said that CSK dough was too late to start the slogan in the first shifts.

Mi vs CSK, IPL 2025: The most important

CSK managed only 175 runs on site with a high Wankhede score, which was at least 25 short runs from par. Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube tried to go out of the powerplay and only around the 16th, when they began to hit big shots. Apart from one of each of Ashwani Kumar and Trent Boult, CSK dough really did not put pressure on my powers outside the powerplay.

“We were quite under a couple, you know. We knew Rosa would go on, and we were able to use the middle crossed. So I just felt that you knew, Bumrah is one of the best landlords in the world right now that the death of bowling started slightly early.

“So I feel that there were several overs where we could score a little more runs. We needed the runs. With Rosa around, 175 is not really par,” he added.

Dhoni said it is important for the team to recognize their mistakes and be practical about solving ongoing problems. He also suggested that if CSK does not win its next few matches, it may be time to start identifying players who would fit in CSK plans next season.

“I think we have to realize that we are successful because we are playing a good cricket. At the same time, if you don’t play a good cricket, it’s important that you don’t get emotional. There have been examples – I think it wasn’t great for us – but we have to see if we play the right form of cricket,” we said.

“With all the games ahead of us to win, we only take one game after a second. If we lose a few, it will be important for us to get the right combination for next year. We do not want too many players to change.
