Delhi: Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 4 wickets in the match played in Chennai on Sunday. With this, the team has registered their sixth win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With this defeat, the CSK is out of the playoff race and now she will play for the next four matches only for honor.
Sam Karan’s brilliant 88 -run innings led CSK to a big score, but Yuzvendra Chahal’s magical bowling overturned the match. Chahal took four wickets in the 19th over, causing Chennai’s innings to falter and the five -time champion team could not cross the 200 runs mark.
After the match, MS Dhoni said that the team had scored good runs on the board, but the batsmen were expected to perform better. He also said that to win the match, his players will also have to catch catches.
Dhoni said, “I think it was the first time we scored enough runs, but this score was slightly less than the ideal. There was pressure on the batsmen, but we should have a little more (good). The partnership between Karan and Brevis was fantastic. We have to catch our catch too.”
Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2026?
There is a lot of discussion about MS Dhoni’s retirement in this season, but the 43 -year -old veteran has not confirmed it so far. After Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury, he was again handed over the captaincy and he will be seen playing in all the remaining matches. However, his fitness has been a matter of concern in this season and his batting performance has not been very impressive.
After CSK is out of the playoffs, it will be interesting to see if Dhoni makes any changes in his game. Former Indian captain who won five titles is one of the biggest stars of IPL, but will he be seen on the field next season? The answer will only give time.
