MS Dhoni Likely To Captain CSK In IPL 2025 Clash Against DC - Report Makes Big Claim

MS Dhoni could lead Chennai Super Kings once again when the five-time champions take on Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2025 encounter on Saturday. According to Indian Express, Ruturaj Gaikwad's availability for the match is not yet confirmed after he picked up an injury to his forearm. Gaikwad was hit on his right arm by a delivery from Tushar Deshpande during the match against Rajasthan Royals. The report claimed that Gaikwad did not train ahead of the match and CSK batting coach Mike Hussey said that a call will be taken about him before the match. With no other captaincy option in the team, Dhoni is expected to step up and take over the reins in front of the home crowd in Chennai.

Chennai Super Kings faced brutal criticism from former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra after their loss against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 on Sunday.

With two losses in three games, CSK are currently seventh in the points table and Chopra was not happy with their team composition. He questioned the decision to include Jamie Overton in place of Sam Curran and also pointed out that the England all-rounder ended up bowling just two overs in the match.

In both the losses, CSK's batting lineup faltered and failed to take the side across the line. To make the matters worse, the legendary MS Dhoni, who was once considered as one of the best finishers, also could not perform as per the expectations.
