Dhoni is criticizing

Chennai Super Kings have made Dhoni the captain for the remaining matches of the IPL 2025 season. This time Dhoni is being criticized a lot due to getting down in batting order and not being able to make a match finish. Sourav Ganguly said that Dhoni is still hitting sixes. We saw in the last match. He is 43 years old and now he cannot play as he used to play in 2005. But I think they still have the power to hit sixes. With so much experience and understanding of sports, he will do what is right for CSK.
