3 min readChennaiMay 18, 2026 12:55 PM IST Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to turn up at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for Chennai Super Kings last home game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 44-year-old hasn’t been at any of the venues so far this season on match days with the former captain preferring to stay back at the team hotel even for Chennai’s home games.

On the eve of the game, Dhoni came out and batted in the nets for about 30 minutes, showing no visible discomfort even when he hit a few big hits. However, post the …

MS Dhoni left irritated by Ravichandran Ashwin’s celebration: ‘What’s there to celebrate so much?’

Published by Parlour News

Ravichandran Ashwin went on to become one of the greatest spinners in Indian cricket history, but it was the Indian Premier League that first turned him into a household name and brought him into the spotlight. Interestingly, he began his IPL journey with Chennai Super Kings, spent a few years with different franchises in the middle phase of his career, and eventually returned to Chennai towards the end, bringing his journey full circle by finishing where it all started. Legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni showed immense faith in Ashwin early in his career, with the off-spinner earning his India call-up under Dhoni’s captaincy. Ashwin later went on to establish himself as Harbhajan Singh’s successor in the Indian setup. Ravichandran Ashwin reveals how he irritated Mahendra Singh Dhoni once. (BCCI) Reflecting on the early phase of his IPL journey with CSK, Ashwin admitted that it took him several years to fully understand the magnitude of competing in a star-studded side. The veteran off-spinner recalled how limited opportunities in the presence of legends like Muttiah Muralitharan tested his …

Gujarat Titans Miss Chance To Finish In Top 2, Lose To Bottom-Placed Chennai Super Kings

Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad and India’s Anshul Khamboj took three wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja claimed two scalps, to trigger a batting collapse as Chennai Super Kings bundled out hosts Gujarat Titans for 147 in 18.3 overs for a big win in Match 67 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Sunday. It turned out to be a Super Sunday for Chennai Super Kings as the five-time champions ended their season with a massive 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This is a massive result in the scope of the IPL playoffs. With this loss, Gujarat Titans’ hopes of finishing among the top two are in serious jeopardy. The winner of the clash between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, on Monday, will move past them in the table, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru could push them down further into an Eliminator spot with a win over Lucknow Super Giants in the final league game of the season. Opting to bat first, CSK rode on fifties by Dewald Brevis and …

BCCI Rejecting ‘MS Dhoni-Style Proposal’ Led To Rohit Sharma Retirement: Report

BCCI Rejecting ‘MS Dhoni-Style Proposal’ Led To Rohit Sharma Retirement: Report

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma wanted to travel to England for the five-Test series and retire midway just like Dhoni had done during the 2014 tour of Australia, according to a report by Sky Sports. However, the offer was rejected by the BCCI and that reportedly led to the decision to retire ahead of the series. “Selectors wanted consistency during the series and offered Sharma the opportunity to go to the series, but not as captain. He decided to retire instead,” the report claimed. Rohit stunned everyone with his decision to retire from Test cricket and Kohli followed suit just few days later. As a result, the BCCI selectors face a tough challenge to fill the void left by the retirement of the two stalwarts of modern cricket. The report further claimed that the BCCI selection committee held ‘informal talk’ with both Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant as potential candidates to succeed Rohit as the next Test captain.  The selection committee is expected to announce the squad for the England series around May 23 and although there …

“Maybe We Need…”: MS Dhoni Offers Sneak Peek Into CSK’s ‘Rebuilding Process’

Published by Webster

MS Dhoni in action during IPL 2025© AFP Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni on Tuesday said the rebuilding process for next year has already begun for the team after a forgettable campaign in the ongoing Indian Premier League. CSK are struggling in the bottom of the points table after a wretched campaign in which they became the first team to be knocked out of the playoffs reckoning. Dhoni, under whose captaincy the franchise has won five IPL titles in the past, had handed over leadership duties to Ruturaj Gaikwad before the start of 2024 season but was brought back to lead the side after an injury to the much younger skipper. “I think we have already started that process,” Dhoni said at the toss for their penultimate match against Rajasthan Royals. “When it comes to our batting department, we want to express ourselves. That’s what we did in the last few games. We want to move ahead with it. “Bowling, we have gone for some runs. Maybe we need one extra bowler …

IPL 2025 Points Table: How Can CSK Avoid 1st Ever Last Place Finish After Loss vs RR

Published by Webster

Rajasthan Royals closed their woeful 2025 IPL season with a comfortable six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings after prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi paved the way with a mature 57-run knock in an inconsequential contest on Tuesday. The find of the season for Royals in an otherwise forgettable season, the 14-year old Suryavanshi once again put on display a fearless show during his 33-ball knock as his side overhauled a target of 188 with remarkable ease. CSK currently are last with six points from 13 games with a NRR of -1.030. RR are ninth with eight points from 14 games with a NRR of -0.549. CSK need to win by a very big margin in their last match against Gujarat Titans to avoid a last place finish for the first time in IPL.  Yashasvi Jaiswal had set the tone for the chase with a fiery 36 and Suryavanshi carried forward the good work with his impressive knock. Jaiswal, before being castled by Anshul Kamboj, was severe on Khaleed Ahmed, creaming off 18 runs from the pacer’s …
