Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) shocking 50-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Chepauk on Sunday not only ended their 17-year unbeaten streak against their southern rivals at home but also sparked a major debate over MS Dhoni라이브 바카라 late entry at the crease.

Despite being one of CSK라이브 바카라 most experienced batters, Dhoni walked in at No.9 when the match was virtually lost, leaving fans stunned and outraged. Social media platforms were flooded with reactions from frustrated CSK fans who questioned the logic behind Dhoni라이브 바카라 batting position.
One user on X fumed, “If fooling and manipulating casuals is an art, then MS Dhoni is the Picasso of it.” Another questioned the strategic misstep, writing, “What is the use of Dhoni batting lower when the team needed him after Shivam Dube라이브 바카라 dismissal? Moreover, hitting a few sixes when the match is already lost doesn’t help.”
As CSK struggled in their chase of 197, wickets fell at regular intervals. The decision to send all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin ahead of Dhoni baffled many. By the time Dhoni finally walked in after Ashwin라이브 바카라 dismissal in the 16th over, CSK needed 98 off 28 balls—an almost impossible task.
Many felt Dhoni라이브 바카라 presence earlier in the innings could have steadied the chase. A disappointed fan remarked, “Really disappointed with Dhoni coming to bat at No.9 after the game was over. He could’ve easily come in at No.6 and carried CSK라이브 바카라 hopes. Why are you fooling us, Thala?” Another added, “If he can’t bat, then he should retire. Sending Ashwin ahead of him when the team was heading towards a humiliating defeat is shameful.”
Though he remained unbeaten on 30 off 16 balls, smashing two sixes and three boundaries, it was too little, too late.
The loss to RCB has raised serious questions about CSK라이브 바카라 batting approach, particularly their middle-order struggles. With the team already facing concerns over their home pitch, the unexpected tactics only deepened the frustration.
