Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered their 10th defeat in IPL 2025. This is only the second time in IPL history that Chennai Super Kings have lost 10 matches in a season. In 2022 too, the team lost 10 matches in a season. The team has to play one match against Gujarat Titans in the league stage. If the team loses in that too, then this will be the worst season in IPL history for Chennai.
MS Dhoni gave two major reasons behind the defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the match played in Delhi. He said that the team’s performance in the powerplay and the column of wickets were disappointing.
MS Dhoni made a big statement after the defeat against Rajasthan
MS Dhoni said at the post match presentation ceremony, “If you look at the number of runs we scored, it was a very good score but you also have to look at the number of wickets, because that puts pressure on the lower middle order that you might not be able to bat for 20 overs.
I think Brevis‘ innings was very good, he was capitalising on the opportunities and I think the run-rate was also good, this is the phase we want to improve a bit. I think the run-rate had improved, but we lost the momentum by losing 1-2 extra wickets.”
Regarding Anshul Kamboz, MS Dhoni said,
