What went wrong with CSK in IPL 2025<\/p>\n

“There is no escaping the fact. After this IPL gets over, I have to work hard for another 6-8 months to see if my body can take this pressure. Nothing to decide now but the love and affection I have seen is excellent,” Dhoni expressed.With playoff hopes already diminished, CSK secured only their third win of the season. The team is now working on improving its bench strength and building for the future.”There were a few things that did not go our way. You could get emotional about it, talk about the pride factor but you have to be practical about it,” Dhoni stated.”Just concentrating about where the 25 players could fit. Want to be competitive but you also want answers – which batter can fit where, which bowler can bowl where, according to the conditions and all. When we started, hardly anyone was scoring,” he added.”We are out of the tournament, so you give them a chance, see how they react. It is the approach, the mental toughness that you want to check. The most technically-correct batter does not always score the runs, if you have good awareness \u2026 there is a chance to be consistent.”<\/p>\n
