When the cricketer expects the ‘crazy’ team to fall, he can see ‘5-10 minutes’: this is the team’s loss.

Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at number 9 in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) 10 team at number 9, 2 points in 4 matches and net run rate negative according to the points of the match played till 6 April in IPL 2025. Even then, what is the hope left for CSK in this season, more than this special question is being discussed by MS Dhoni’s coming to bat in the team. Especially when Chennai was chasing the target of 197 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the match 8, Dhoni came to bat at number 9, then this question related to him has become a national discussion.

The condition is that now not only the understanding of cricket, who is a blind devotee of the brand Dhoni, he is also surprised to bat so down by Dhoni. When it is almost certain that there is no chance of winning for CSK, Dhoni comes to bat and at that point, some of his balls of his ball fire innings are not coming to any use.

Questions arose on batting down

Okay, Dhoni is unable to change the decision of this RCB match, but due to coming to bat, he would give his team a very good opportunity to improve the net run rate. Why they are batting so down, the answers that are coming out on this question are surprising. Everyone knows that they are going to be 44 years old soon and no matter how hard they work on fitness, it is not as fit that keep on competing with Dhoni of the past years.

• In the last season, Dhoni’s answer to the same question was that he is giving cricketers like Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dubey to promote more and more so that they can strengthen their claim in the T20 World Cup team.
• There is nothing like this in this season and in the RCB match, Ashwin also batting before him, but now he says that they are preparing players dealing with such a situation for the future.
• On the other hand, team coach Stephen Fleming clearly said that Dhoni’s knees are no longer so strong that they could bat 10 overs. They can only play a few balls and are doing it as much as it can for the team. The coach is in power because in the first match of CSK this season, Dhoni came out to bat at number 8, when the match was in the team’s bag and he wanted only 4 runs. His playing at number 7 in the third match against Rajasthan Royals did not work for any task.

Why is Dhoni playing?

So why is Dhoni playing? Now it has been decided that they are playing only for gallery. Team CSK is feeding him, more than his cricket contribution in the match, the team’s brand value, brand image and the audience to draw the stadium. The team is facing a very unique crisis. Dhoni has more brands than the blind devotees of CSK. In the Chennai match, the audience comes to see Dhoni playing more than watching this team playing. Team owners know this, but they are getting the benefit of this in the business term, so they are looking at their sponsorship and cash register more than the team’s position in the points table.

That is why the Ambati Rayudu and Harbhajan Singh, who have played with Dhoni and knowing the craze for the brand Dhoni, are clearly saying that now this Dhoni has come to such a point that the team is harming the cricket of the team. When the ‘blind fan’ of a cricketer, pray for the team’s wicket to fall so that they can see the cricketer batting for 5-10 minutes, then understand, he is doing harm to the cricketer team. Tendulkar had a similar craze for batting, but then no one wanted that Team India be harmed by it.

Will Dhoni himself think about this?
