In a dramatic turnaround, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finally broke their five-match losing streak in IPL 2025 with a nail-biting five-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The man of the moment? None other than MS Dhoni, who once again proved why he’s still known as “Captain Cool.”
At 43 years old, Dhoni delivered a magical performance that left fans cheering and rivals stunned. He showcased vintage brilliance by executing a brilliant run-out and then smashed a quickfire 26 runs off just 11 balls, sealing the win in style.
The match took place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where pitch conditions have been a topic of debate throughout this season. Dhoni’s post-match remarks stirred conversation once again as he mentioned that batters are struggling due to inconsistent bounce on certain pitches, especially at Chepauk.
This victory is a much-needed boost for CSK, keeping their playoff hopes alive. With veteran players stepping up, CSK fans now believe that the team could make a strong comeback in the second half of the tournament.
Dhoni’s Highlights:
- Spectacular direct hit run-out
- Blistering 26 runs in 11 balls
- Calm finishing under pressure

This performance sparked renewed energy in the dressing room and the fanbase. Cricket legends and analysts across platforms have praised Dhoni’s fitness and ability to deliver in crunch moments, even at this stage of his career.
As CSK prepares for its next clash, eyes will be on Dhoni to see if this momentum continues. For now, one thing is clear – Dhoni’s magic is far from over.
