While Chennai Super Kings stuck at the bottom of the IPL score table, MS Dhoni gave up the hope of the IPL 2025 playoffs.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was subjected to the sixth defeat of IPL 2025. Yellow men, Wankhede Stadium 9 small door and belt rivals Mumbai Indians stumbled by. Mathematically, five times the champions could still be entitled to IPL playoffs, while the stand-in captain Mrs. Dhoni gave up hopes. Young Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed, Dhoni, who performed separately from some young weapons in the squad, wants to create the best 11 for IPL 2026.
“Apart from that, we just try to wear the holes, we only get a game in a game with all the games we need to win, and if we lose a few, the important thing for us is to get the right combination for the next year. You don’t want too many players to change, to be safe for the next year and to be qualified, but if it returns strongly,”. Dhoni said in the presentation after the match.
Dhoni is not satisfied with the stroke
CSK sent to Bat, published 176/5 against Mumbai. They were equal and the cause could be medium-upper level. When Rachin Ravindra could not make them a good start once again, Debutant Ayush Mhatre burned 15 balls of 35 rounds. However, although he goes to all weapons, he can only score 48/1 goals in CSK PowerPlay. The other opener Shaik Rasheed was going to a ball.
When Mhatre fell, the problems appeared in the middle. Ravindra Jadeja, who was promoted to No 4, made a stagnant start. After the death of Rasheed, Shivam Pag, scored a goal at the speed of the snail. CSK from 48/1 in 6 maritime directed 103 in 14 sea. At eight sea, CSK made only 55 runs in 6.90 work rates. When Jadeja and the panta accelerated, they left too late. At the last five sea, CSK made 73 runs.
“I think we were glowing. We all knew that Dew would come in the second half and we were in a position to benefit from mid -maritime. After early deaths, a plus point was the time we had to seduce and start a little early. Plus point, Bumrah did not need to run more for running. Dhoni said.
CSK, IPL 2025 can be entitled to playoffs?
The weak start and stagnant hit against Mumbai Indians was not one -on -up. This is the whole season. Therefore, although it is not impossible for CSK to be entitled to playoffs, this is a long task. They should change their approaches. But are there any players to start this change? Maybe no.
- CSK is below the IPL score table with four points from 8 games. CSK needs at least 16 points to be qualified. Therefore, they need to win the remaining six matches. Winning six matches will increase their total scores to 16 and they all provide their qualifications.
- If other results continue on their own way, CSK can also be qualified with 14 points. CSK needs to win at least five of the six people and hopes that teams such as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants will get all points. In short, CSK’s fate will be decided by others.
However, the problems CSK currently have may not disappear. What CSK needs is a slope that can rapidly score at medium speed. Chennai tried the likes of Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tripathi, all of which are settled and experienced players, but in vain.
The addition of Dewald Brevis and Ayush Mhatre can cheat. Mhatre shows that he can do fast run at the top, while Brevis 4 can go to all burning weapons on the middle.
“As a teenager, he (Ayush Mhatre) really fought well. This is your power that you play your shots and at the same time, this is your power. So, if you can continue to play shots, it is a good sign for us that it will become a little easier for moderate and lower order,” Dhoni said.
