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?

Earlier in the tournament, Kagiso Rabada also exited the GT squad due to personal reasons. The team now has five overseas players available, though only three have featured in the last few matches.

While Delhi seem nearly unstoppable at the moment, one area of concern remains: the form of opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has managed just 46 runs in four matches. Thankfully for DC, KL Rahul has been versatile and dependable, adjusting to different roles in the lineup and thriving regardless.

Bosch, who made his international debut in late 2024, has played one Test and two ODIs for South Africa. He recently contributed significantly to MI Cape Town's SA20 2025 title win, solidifying his reputation in franchise cricket.

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.

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson admitted his side faltered tactically, conceding extra runs and losing wickets at crucial stages. “We strayed from our bowling plans, and losing wickets in key moments cost us the game,” he reflected.

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.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are gearing up to face Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 24th match of IPL 2025, scheduled for April 10 (Thursday) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
