MS Dhoni's baffling decision: Batting at no. 9 in IPL 2025
In pursuit of 197 runs, CSK failed to begin well. Rahul Tripathi, who was brought to open, was out for 5 runs, and then captain Ruturaj Gaikwad also left without opening the account. Deepak Hooda was brought to number four, but he also failed to give much and returned to the pavilion after being out on 4 runs. When Dhoni came to bat at number 9, the match had gone out of Chennai's hands.
