Reflecting on the team’s performance, Dhoni praised the bowling attack but acknowledged that the batting unit needs to step up. He also lauded youngster Shaik Rasheed for his promising innings and consistency in training.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), currently struggling at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, have found a replacement for their injured captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Amid speculation linking Prithvi Shaw to a CSK call-up—especially after he went unsold in the IPL mega auction—the franchise has instead opted for a young and promising talent.

Chennai Super Kings' dismal showing on Friday marked their fifth straight defeat in IPL 2025. Now languishing in ninth place on the points table with just one win — a solitary victory over Mumbai Indians — questions are being raised: is this the end of the road for CSK?

Dhoni, who has led CSK in a record 235 matches and secured five IPL titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023), is no stranger to leading under pressure. After a brief captaincy handover to Ravindra Jadeja in 2022 and Gaikwad in 2024, Dhoni once again steps in to stabilize the side.

John Cena, a global icon in the wrestling world, recently took to his social media to share a heartfelt post, expressing his deep admiration for cricket superstar Virat Kohli. The post featured a special photo of Kohli, a true legend of the sport, and highlighted the immense respect Cena holds for the Indian cricketer. Both of these athletes enjoy massive followings in their respective domains, and Cena's gesture only adds to the appreciation fans already have for both of them.

KKR first lost to RCB, then won against RR, and then again defeated by MI. However, they made a good comeback with a win against SRH.

R Ashwin has a Youtube channel and all of his fans know about it. It’s a channel where Ashwin talks out very freely about his gameplay and also has some very interesting discussions. It’s a little surprising to know that even the head coach Stephen Flemming had no idea about Ashwin’s Youtube channel’s existence.

Previously, there were many rumours making the rounds, claiming that this might be MS Dhoni’s last season of IPL and that he might retire after this. Surely the posts got a lot of attention from cricket fans but there was no confirmation as yet.

In all of this competition, while the season has not even reached its first half, Virat Kohli has emerged as the most popular player already. But what makes Virat Kohli so promising and why such a huge fan-following?

Against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, Dhoni once again found himself under pressure. Although he struck a six and a four to briefly revive CSK’s hopes, the chase of 20 runs off the final over proved too steep.
