"175 with dew around, wasn't a par score" - MS Dhoni after CSK's dismal loss vs MI in IPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, CSK captain MS Dhoni reflected on his team's poor performance against MI and said:

"We were quite below par, we all knew that dew will come in and wanted to exploit the middle overs. Bumrah is the best death bowler, but they started the death bowling early, but we should've gone after them. 175 with dew around, wasn't a par score. As a youngster he (Ayush Mhatre) batted really well, that approach was good, you needed to pick the shots and he did. It's a good sign for us, if we can do that regularly, it will be good."

"Odd ball was gripping, they played the spinners very well. The first six overs was important, we gave away too many. Surya is a brilliant player of the spin bowling, with the dew around, it became easy. What we need to realize is, we're successful because we play good cricket, there's no need to be emotional about it, we need to see if we're playing the right cricket in IPL, that's what is needed," Dhoni added.

Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will compete in the next match of IPL 2025 on Monday (April 21) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
