Chennai Super Kings performed disappointingly in IPL 2025. Chennai Super Kings were the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race this season. They won only 4 out of 14 matches this season and finished at the bottom of the points table with eight points. This season, Chennai Super Kings were captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 9 matches.
After Rituraj Gaikwad got injured, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was given an important responsibility. However, despite this, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was also unable to make his mark this season as a captain.
Recently, former player Atul Wassan has made a big statement about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. According to the former player, Mahendra Singh Dhoni can play the role of mentor brilliantly in the future. Still, the responsibility of full-time coaching will be very challenging for him.
Vasan said on the Bells and Banter show on OTTplay,
“𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑫𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒊 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. 𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝒊𝒇 𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉, 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎, 𝒆𝒕𝒄. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔?”
Vasan further said,

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s performance in IPL 2025
Let us tell you that Dhoni scored a total of 196 runs in 14 matches at an average of 24.50 in IPL 2025. This season, he failed to leave his mark in both captaincy and batting. Although Chennai Super Kings were out of the playoff race, he can be seen performing brilliantly in the 2026 edition.
