MS Dhoni Achieves Embarrassing IPL Record Amid Growing Retirement Chatter

It was yet another embarrassing performance from MS Dhoni as he failed to complete the run chase for Chennai Super Kings during their IPL 2025 encounter against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. Although he did score an unbeaten 30 off 26 deliveries, it was not enough to clinch the match for his side. During his stay at the crease, Dhoni slammed his first boundary - a six off Mukesh Kumar - on the 19th ball of his innings. This was the slowest any batter has taken to hit a boundary this season. Dhoni stitched together a partnership with Vijay Shankar but the duo never looked in control of the match as they slumped to a loss.

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming said MS Dhoni is "still going strong" and putting an end to the former skipper's run in the IPL is not a role assigned to him. The presence of Dhoni's parents -- Pan Singh and Devaki Devi -- at the Chepauk for CSK's match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday had fuelled speculation about an imminent his retirement. "No, that's not my role to put an end to it. I have no idea. I'm just enjoying working with him. He's still going strong. I don't even ask these days. You guys are the ones that ask (about retirement)," said Fleming in the post-match press conference.

On Chepauk Home Advantage, CSK Coach's Honest Verdict: "Last Couple Of Years..."

Following the loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming stated that the five-time champions have failed to understand the Chennai pitch in the last few years, reported ESPNcricinfo. During the IPL 2025 mega auction, the Chennai-based franchise went behind the spinners as the MA Chidam Stadium helps the slow bowlers more during the match. However, that was not the case in their second home game of the 18th edition of the cash-rich league, as they lost to RCB by 50 runs.

Pujara, who was with the franchise for a season in 2021, also indicated that CSK middle-order comprising Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Sam Curran and Mahendra Singh Dhoni might have to shoulder more responsibility.
