In IPL 2025 (IPL 2025), nothing has been right for Rituraj Gaikwad -led Chennai Super Kings so far. After starting the season with the victory, he had to face defeat in three consecutive matches. During this time, former captain MS Dhoni has been the reason for the biggest concern for the team. He flopped badly in the four matches played so far. In four innings, he scored only 76 runs from his bat. The brunt of his form has to be paid by the team by facing defeat.
