MS Dhoni Batting At No.9 For CSK Earns Brutal Criticism From Experts: "Not Ideal For..."

Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni coming out to bat at No. 9 for Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru resulted in some criticism. Chasing a target of 197, CSK never looked in control as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. However, Dhoni came out to bat in the 16th over of the run chase after the fall of the seventh wicket. It was a surprising decision from the side as Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin came out to bat before Dhoni and by the time the veteran star came at the crease, the match was almost out of their grasp. Former India cricketers Robin Uthappa and Irfan Pathan were both not happy with Dhoni's batting position.

In the aftermath of Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s 50-run loss to rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), former captain MS Dhoni's batting order has sparked a big debate. Dhoni, who came out to bat at no. 9, hit an unbeaten 30 off just 16, but his knock had no relevance as RCB cruised to a crushing win. While Dhoni has limited his batting time over the past few seasons, in terms of the amount of deliveries he faces, fans and experts were not happy with the 43-year-old batting behind the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran and Ravichandran Ashwin.

"Lowest Point": Internet Slams MS Dhoni For Batting At No. 9 For CSK Against RCB

MS Dhoni came out to bat at No. 9 for Chennai Super Kings but it was a case of too little too late as his side slumped to a 50-run loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. Chasing 197, CSK kept losing wickets at regular intervals and Shivam Dube was dismissed in the 13th over, the expectation was that Dhoni will come out to bat. However, it was R Ashwin who joined Ravindra Jadeja out in the middle and by the time Dhoni came out in the 16th over, the match was almost out of CSK's hands. The ex-India captain remained unbeaten on 30 off 16 balls but it made no difference to his team's fortunes. The fans were not happy with Dhoni coming out to bat so late and they took to social media to express their views.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Swastik Chikara left his teammates completely bemused with his recent antics in the dressing room. In a video shared by RCB, pacer Yash Dayal and captain Rajat Patidar revealed Chikara, 19, opened franchise icon Virat Kohli's bag without permission and sprayed a bottle of perfume on himself in the dressing room. That too in front of Kohli. Guessing by Dayal and Patidar's face, neither of them would've even thought about encroaching Kohli's privacy.
