KKR vs CSK, IPL 2025: Even at 43, MS Dhoni rules hearts and fans got a glimpse of it on Wednesday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After taking Chennai over the line, Dhoni did something that was extremely heartwarming. After the game, an elated Dhoni joined the customary post-match handshakes. While exchanging pleasantries with the KKR players, but just as he was walking back to the CSK dugout along with young Anshul Kamboj on his side - he stopped.
Dhoni realised he had missed greeting one KKR player. That is when Dhoni turned back and exchanged a handshake with Chetan Sakariya. The brief moment was caught on camera and is now being loved by Dhoni's innumerable fans. Here is the viral clip:
In fact, at the post-match presentation, Dhoni was brutally honest in assessing CSK's show in IPL 2025. He reckoned it was important as a team to remain practical after having managed to win merely three games.
"It is only the third game we gave won. It is good to be on the winning side. Quite a few things have not gone our way. What is important is to be practical. Identify what has gone wrong. We have 25 players who can fill and I was focusing on that. We want answers for the next year, which batter can slot in where and which bowler can bowl where according to the conditions," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation.
Chennai, who are already out of the playoff race, take on Rajasthan Royals in their next game on May 12 and then face Gujarat Totans in their last group-stage game. Chennai would love to win their two remaining games and sign off on a high.
