Mrs. Dhoni struck 27 on 12 balls in the defeat of CSK against PBKS© BCCI / SPORTZPICCS
The calls for MS Dhoni to beat higher in order were finally heard while the pillar of Chennai Super Kings came out for Bat in place n ° 5 of the match of the Premier Indian League (IPL) 2025 against Punjab Kings on Tuesday. Dhoni managed 27 points in just 12 balls, but was unable to pass his team on the line, while pursuing a gigantic target of 220 points. While CSK suffered his 4th defeat of the season, the former New Zealand cricket player Simon Doull questioned the repeated reluctance of the franchise to raise the old skipper bat in order.
“Dhoni had three six in 12 balls. The rest of the team had five in total. Spit.
Another great decision that drew everyone’s attention to the match was all to “remove” the Opener CSK Devon Conway. The Kiwi opener was the most marked shorer of Super Kings in the game, recording 69 points on 49 balls. But, he could not completely accelerate the execution rate in the last stages of the game, which prompted the management to send Ravira Jadeja as a replacement.
Jadeja could only mark 9 points of 5 balls while remaining non-dehors, the waterfall also ending with a failure for CSK.
“Conway’s retirement was an interesting decision. He had the rhythm of the field but his striking rate was too low. In a match where you have a typing rate of 190 to win, it marked at 140. But it was removed too late, too late for Jadeja to evaluate,” said Doull.
Whenever the CSK was questioned about Dhoni’s non-promotion in the order of the strikers, the reason given is that the counter striker is no longer enough to beat 8 to 10 overs. Even in this match, Dhoni entered Bat when 4.1 Overs were left while the Super Kings still needed 69 points to win.
