MS Dhoni No Longer A Match Winner For CSK In IPL. These Numbers Prove
NDTV
MS Dhoni, one of the finest finishers the game has ever seen, is no longer the same.
One of the finest finishers in the history of the game, MS Dhoni is a name that needs no introduction. Over the years, Dhoni has led many successful run-chases, both for Team India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, the last couple of years have seen Dhoni's role evolve into something completely different. Dhoni has rarely come out to bat above No. 7. In fact, in the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he played as a No. 9 batter, a never-seen-before feat for the former India captain. Updated numbers:MS Dhoni while chasing in IPL since 2023:In WON matches - 3 inns, 3 runs, 9 balls, 0 sixes, 0 foursIn LOST matches - 6 inns, 166 runs, 84 balls, 13 fours, 13 sixes #IPL2025#CSKvRR https://t.co/sflvDPF8aS
In the match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, Dhoni scored 16 runs off 11 balls but couldn't take the Super Kings across the line, as his side suffered a 6-run defeat. Once touted as the finest finisher in the game, Dhoni doesn't seem to have the same touch anymore.
Since the conclusion of IPL 2023 season, Dhoni has contributed more to CSK's cause in losing matches than winning. Statistics suggest that.
