Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming said MS Dhoni is "still going strong" and putting an end to the former skipper's run in the IPL is not a role assigned to him. The presence of Dhoni's parents -- Pan Singh and Devaki Devi -- at the Chepauk for CSK's match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday had fuelled speculation about an imminent his retirement. "No, that's not my role to put an end to it. I have no idea. I'm just enjoying working with him. He's still going strong. I don't even ask these days. You guys are the ones that ask (about retirement)," said Fleming in the post-match press conference.
Rohit Sharma is one character on the cricket field who cannot be ignored, even when he is not playing. He missed Mumbai Indians' IPL 2025 match against LSG on Friday due to injury, but even then he was always involved in the match. Despite not being part of the match, he made sure he helped his team with his tactical inputs. A glimpse of it was seen when Rohit was assisting Hardik Pandya and co. during a strategic time-out in the first innings of the match. LSG were flying high at 69 for 0 after six overs when the break came. 16 balls later, Hardik bowled a well-disguised slower delivery to dismiss Nicholas Pooran, who had scored 75, 70 and 44 in the past three games for LSG.
Pakistan faced a big blow during the third ODI match against New Zealand on Saturday in Mount Maunganui. Asked to bat first, the Kiwis posted a total of 264/8 with skipper Michael Bracewell and Rhys Mariu scoring 59 and 58 runs respectively. For Pakistan, Akif Javed was the star bowler as he scalped four wickets. However, when Pakistan came out for the chase, their star opener Imam-ul-Haq suffered a massive injury and had to be carried off the field.
MS Dhoni came to bat at No. 7 for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2025 match on Saturday. Dhoni, one of the best finishers to ever play the game, stayed unbeaten till the end too but the result was not to CSK's liking. At what was once their fortress, five-time champions CSK lost their third match on the trot. What was more worrying was the team's batting frailty. After their top order failed to get going chasing Delhi Capitals' 184-run target, there was much hope from the middle order. But Vijay Shankar (69* off 54) and MS Dhoni (30* off 26 balls) could not take the team over the line.
Rajasthan Royals handed Punjab Kings their first defeat of IPL 2025, beating them convincingly by 50 runs in Mullanpur. Put into bat, Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed his first half-century of the season, as RR posted a total of 205 in 20 overs.
