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.

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.

Anfrey Rublev, Holger Rune Ease Into Barcelona Open Last 16

The 27-year-old broke for a 3-2 lead in the second set and once again when De Jong went long to seal his victory.

"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.
