In the 25th match of the 2025 IPL, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Despite a change in leadership, with Mahendra Singh Dhoni returning as captain due to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury, CSK’s struggles continued. They posted their lowest home total of 103/9, which KKR chased down comfortably, winning by eight wickets with nearly 10 overs to spare. Reuters ‘
Now, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, fans are hoping that their team will perform in vintage style under their vintage skipper. Right now, CSK is in the bottom half of the table, and it will be interesting to see if the “Midas Touch” of Dhoni can bring the Yellow Army back into playoff contention. Dhoni’s first assignment as the full-time skipper of CSK in 2025 will be against KKR on 11th April 2025.
