Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni explained the reason behind dropping seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin from the playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Ashwin has been at the receiving end of criticism from fans and former cricketers for his underwhelming performances in the 18th edition of the cash-rich league. It was a homecoming for the 38-year-old after CSK shelled out a whopping sum of Rs 9.75 crore to bring him back to Chepauk.

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.

MS Dhoni Joins IPL Franchises vs Curator War, Says "Don't Want To Play..."

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.

MS Dhoni the finisher is back. The legendary Chennai Super Kings captain led from the front as his team ended a five-match losing streak in the IPL 2025 with a five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Monday. With CSK on 111/5 in 15 overs chasing 167, MS Dhoni walked out to a loud roar from CSK supporters at the Ekana Stadium. Right in the first over he showed intent as he hit Avesh Khan for two straight fours. And then, in the 17th over Dhoni hit a one-handed six off Shardul Thakur and smoked the ball over the mid-wicket. Dhoni ultimately stayed unbeaten on 26* off 11 balls as CSK reached the target in 19.3 overs with five wickets to spare.

"We Feel We Were 10-15 Runs Short": Rishabh Pant On LSG's Narrow Loss To CSK

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." Pant's own knock was a gritty 63 off 49 balls — his first fifty of the season — but it lacked the late-innings flourish that his side desperately needed. 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.
