New Delhi. Five -time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have suffered a sixth defeat in IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians defeated CSK by 9 wickets on Sunday. This victory of Mumbai Indians has almost dismissed the playoff hopes of Chennai Super Kings. This pain also reflected in the talk of CSK captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni discussed all the reasons for the defeat. He also said that he is looking towards next year’s combination.
MS Dhoni said, ‘We played very badly with our expectations. We knew that dew would come in the second innings. We should have tried to take advantage of this a little before. Everyone knows that Bumrah is one of the best death bowlers in the world. MI started his death bowling quickly. We should also have started our slogging quickly. Knowing that dew is about to come, 175 was not enough score.
Ayush game good signs for us
MS Dhoni said about 17 -year -old debutant Ayush Mhatre, ‘He played well, he should choose his shots well. We need the approach with which he batted. He wanted to play his shots. We did not even see him much. It is a good sign for us that there is a fast playing batter in top order.
Focus on next year’s combination
MS Dhoni said not to play as expected in this season of his team, ‘We have to understand that we are successful because we play good cricket. But now we have to see if we are playing in the correct form or not. We are trying to remove our shortcomings. Focus on one game at a time. But if we lose some matches and this year, we are unable to playoffs. Then you will look at the combination of next year. Everyone knows that every year too much players do not change.
Chennai is the last place in the point table
Let us know that Chennai Super Kings have lost 6 out of 8 matches in IPL 2025. It has 4 points from 2 wins. CSK is at number 10 in the point table. If he has to qualify for the playoffs on his own, then the remaining 6 matches will have to be won. If this happens, it will get 16 points. If Chennai now loses a single match, it will not be able to move beyond 14 points. It is a crooked kheer to qualify for the playoffs on its own with so many points. To qualify with 14 points, he will have to depend on the equation of defeat and victory of other teams.
