CSK suffered unreal downfall in 2025 under MS Dhoni's captaincy
While the retirement rumors are still heavy enough, the 43-year-old MS Dhoni is still stunning his fans with the glove work if not with the bat. MS Dhoni reaffirmed his legendary status behind the stumps, achieving a historic milestone on May 7 at Eden Gardens. In the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, he became the first keeper in IPL history to reach 200 dismissals—153 catches and 47 stumpings.
Earlier in April, Dhoni had already notched up the landmark through a combination of stumping, catch, and a run‑out in the encounter with Lucknow Super Giants, further showcasing his enduring excellence. His performance drew praise from greats such as Michael Clarke, who called Dhoni “still the best wicket-keeper in the world.”
On the flipside, CSK endured an unprecedented slump. The five-time champions found themselves eliminated first from playoff contention, sinking to last place with just four wins from 14 games. A dreadful Chepauk performance—managing only 103/9 against Kolkata—marked their lowest home total ever, signaling deeper issues in their batting lineup. The slide continued, as their 10th defeat of the season against Rajasthan Royals equalled the franchise’s record for most losses in a single IPL campaign.
