New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni acknowledged that his side fell 15-20 runs short after suffering another defeat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Pat Cummins SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) handed CSK a five-wicket loss successfully chasing down a target of 155 with eight balls remaining at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. It was CSK’s seventh loss in the IPL 2025 season leaving the five-time champions stuck at the bottom of the points table with just 4 points from 9 games. Put in to bat first CSK struggled to complete their 20 overs and were bowled out for 154. Dewald Brevis was the standout performer scoring a quickfire 42 off 25 balls. After the match Dhoni reflected on the loss saying We kept losing wickets and I felt the wicket was slightly better in the first innings. A total of 155 wasnt enough especially since it wasnt turning much. Around the 8th to 10th overs it became a bit two-paced for the fast bowlers but nothing too unusual. Dhoni further added We could have run a bit better and added a few more runs to the total. In the second innings there was some help for the bowlers — our spinners found a bit of bounce and the ball was stopping slightly. But yes we were short by 15-20 runs. Thats an area we need to work on because the middle overs are crucial. You have to capitalize and get those extra 5 10 or 15 runs especially after a good start. MS Dhoni heaped praise on Dewald Brevis who made his debut for CSK against SunRisers Hyderabad. Brevis who was earlier brought in as a replacement for the injured pacer Gurjapneet Singh impressed in his first outing.
