MS Dhoni's Clear Message To CSK Teammates After 10th Defeat Of IPL 2025 Season

By our Special Correspondent

As Chennai Super Kings suffered a deflating six-wicket defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in their final league game, all eyes were on MS Dhoni.

Though his side had already secured a playoff berth, the margin of defeat and the manner in which it came left the CSK skipper with plenty to ponder. Dhoni, ever the realist, acknowledged the team’s struggles with consistency and composure in crunch phases.

"If you look at the amount of runs we have put on the board, it's very good. But if you look at the wicket, I think we lost quick wickets. It puts pressure on the lower-middle order. Brevis played really well. I feel the runs were up, the run-rate was up but we lost two or more wickets."
