MS Dhoni's Run-Out Against LSG Called 'Tukka'. Ex CSK Star Says "I've Also Worn Gloves"

MS Dhoni left everyone stunned with a brilliant run-out to dismiss Abdul Samad during the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. Dhoni picked up the ball behind the stumps and was able to hit the stumps on the non-striker's end with an underhand throw. It was trademark Dhoni as his effort resulted in massive cheers from the crowd and he was also praised by the commentators. However, former Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Robin Uthappa felt that it was a 'tukka' (fluke) from Dhoni that he was able to hit the stumps from that distance.

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni on Monday asked the IPL organisers to prepare better wickets that encourages shot making, saying no team wants to play "timid" cricket. Dhoni was especially referring to the surface at CSK's home ground Chepauk, which has been their citadel all these years but has turned out to be a nightmare for the five-time champions this season. CSK finally snapped their five-match losing streak by beating Lucknow Super Giants by wickets and Dhoni played a pivotal role with a 11-ball 26-run cameo to finish off the game for the visitors. "One of the reasons could be that the Chennai wicket is slightly on the slower side. When we have played away from home, the batting unit has done slightly better. Maybe we need to play on wickets that are slightly better so that it'll give the batters confidence to play their shots. You don't want to play timid cricket," Dhoni said after the match.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant reflected on the five-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings, admitting that his team fell "10-15 runs short."

Walking in early after Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran were dismissed inside the Powerplay, Pant tried to consolidate and build partnerships with Mitchell Marsh and Ayush Badoni. While the foundation was there, the final ten overs produced only patches of acceleration.
