MS Dhoni picked his all-time dream team featuring only Indian legends, Sehwag, Sachin, and Ganguly and ignoring Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Speaking on a podcast, he said he prefers enjoying each player’s prime rather than comparing. Dhoni, still playing for CSK in IPL 2025, remains nostalgic about India’s golden era.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to name a Grand Stand at Wankhede Stadium after Indian captain Rohit Sharma. This tribute follows his leadership in India’s 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy wins. The East and West stands already honour Sunil Gavaskar and Vijay Merchant, respectively.
MS Dhoni smashed 27 off 12 balls with 3 sixes and 1 four in CSK’s 18-run loss to PBKS, drawing praise from Ambati Rayudu, who described Dhoni as “animated” and swinging a sword. Navjot Singh Sidhu admired his intent but urged reinvention. The commentary ended with a light-hearted banter between Rayudu and Sidhu over CSK and Dhoni’s legacy.
Ambati Rayudu defended MS Dhoni amid the IPL 2025 criticism, slamming trolls and calling out paid PR campaigns. Despite Dhoni’s limited batting, Rayudu’s support remains firm. After Navjot Sidhu called him a chameleon, Rayudu responded strongly on X, urging critics to donate to charity instead of PR.
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to a hairline elbow fracture, and MS Dhoni is set to return as CSK captain. With CSK losing four of their first five matches and sitting ninth on the table, questions arise, was this injury setback a genuine blow or a strategic move by CSK management to bring back Dhoni?
