MS Dhoni speaks about CSK's future, says 'we need to try to fix some loopholes'
Former India and CSK captain MS Dhoni said Chennai Super Kings' batting order has been sorted after two disappointing seasons and that the return of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will further strengthen the team. Dhoni had to take over the leadership role in IPL 2025 after the Gaikwad was ruled out due to an elbow injury mid-way through the tournament. The five-time champions struggled throughout the season and finished last on the table with just four wins from 14 matches, struggling for consistent batting efforts.'We are slightly worried about our batting order. But I think our batting order is quite sorted out now. Rutu (Gaikwad) will be coming back. He got injured. But he will be coming back. So, we are quite sorted now,' said Dhoni during a private event in Chennai. Dhoni said that the franchise will look to strengthen the team even more in the mini-auction that would be held later this year. 'I won't say we (CSK) slacked off (in IPL 2025). But there were certain holes that we needed to plug in. A small auction is coming in December. Some loopholes are there, and we will try to plug those in,' he last played at the professional level for CSK against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on April 8. The Maharashtrian had signed an English County deal with Yorkshire but withdrew citing personal he has been named in the West Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy, beginning later this acknowledged the previous two seasons as below-par and said it is important for the team to identify those grey areas.'Yes, the last couple of years have not been good for us. We have not been up to the mark. But what is important is for you to see the learnings. Yes, you had a bad season. But what went wrong? And that was the question for us last year also.'We were like, okay, there are some shortcomings. But first we needed to exactly figure out what were the shortcomings and then look at solutions,' he noted. Dhoni also thanked the loyal CSK fans for their wholehearted support during the strife time, and promised to give a better account of themselves in the coming season. 'I feel more often than not we have been able to figure out what exactly went wrong. In sports, you know you can have a very good time and at the same time there will be periods when you won't be performing well. In CSK, more often than not, we are on the higher side.'So, we do talk about the processes. But at the same time we do want the result to come to our side. Last year it (result) wasn't there. But looking ahead, we will try to sort out most of the things and we will hopefully be at our best,' he 44-year-old legend also underlined the strong relationship he has fostered over the years with Chennai and the IPL team based in the city.'It's a very long relationship that we have had and it started much before the start of IPL... 2005 was the time when I made my Test debut which happened to be in Chennai. So, it started from that point of time. And yes, CSK helped in a big way because all of a sudden I'm spending 45-50 days here." 'So, I feel the relationship over the years has grown. It helped me improve as a person. It helped me improve as a cricketer. So, CSK just happened. I think it's good for Chennai. So, today it's good for me also. Nowadays when we go and say CSK, it's not a brand only in India, but when we go to Australia, South Africa, or any of the cricket playing nations,' he noted.

CSK have a few holes to plug in mini auction: MS Dhoni
Ahmedabad: Chennai Super Kings' captain MS Dhoni during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 cricket match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad. (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan) Chennai: Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings find themselves in unfamiliar territory after failing to make the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time. CSK made a torrid start to their IPL 2025 campaign before three mid-season injury replacements – Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis and Urvil Patel – showed that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The mini-revival towards the end of the season has provided optimism to former captain MS Dhoni, who remarked that the Super Kings batting line-up is 'sorted' for the next edition. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'I would not say that we slacked off but there were certain holes that we needed to plug. In the second half of the tournament, we were worried about our batting order; you know that people do bat at different positions. But I think that our batting order is quite sorted now,' Dhoni said at an event organised by Maxivision Super Speciality Eye Hospital here on Saturday. While CSK have the option to retain Ayush, Brevis and Urvil, they will welcome back regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad after missing him for a majority of IPL 2025 due to injury. 'Rutu will be coming back, so we are quite sorted. A small (mini) auction will be coming up in December. There are some holes and we will try to plug those. We have to be at our best at the start of the tournament and use the resources in the best possible manner,' added Dhoni, the captain who led them to each of their five IPL trophies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo While the 44-year-old did not disclose whether he will return as a player next season, Dhoni, on a lighter note, said that he has been told his eyes are good enough to play competitive cricket for five more years. Poll How confident are you in CSK's chances for IPL 2026 after the mini-revival? Very confident Somewhat confident Not confident at all 'I just got a tick mark that I can play cricket for the next five years. But the catch is that I have been given clearance only for eyesight. I need clearance for my body as well. I cannot play cricket just with my eyes (laughs).' Dhoni also stressed that CSK cannot rely on past glory. 'You always have to be at your best. It is not about what you have done in the past 15 or 16 years. The next year you turn up again, you have to start from there. Nobody respects what you did in the past,' said Dhoni.

New pace trio's bold mantra: ‘Watch out for each other'
London: and were inseparable when they played for Gujarat Titans in the IPL this year. From the breakfast table to getting back to the team hotel after a match or a training session, they would always be seen together. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It wasn't just about having a good time together. They bonded over discussions about fast bowling too. Both of them went into the IPL with question marks over their efficacy as Test match bowlers. On Friday, when the duo bowled in tandem to erode the England batting lineup and script a stellar comeback for India in the final Test, Siraj and Krishna assured the selectors and the team management that they are capable of carrying the team's fastbowling responsibilities. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Siraj and Krishna have worked on building a partnership as fast bowlers. Now, they have got Akash Deep to form a stable trio of pacers. The lunch break on the second day at Oval on Friday could prove a defining 40 minutes for the future of India's fast-bowling resources. The Indian team headed to the dressing room stunned and deeply hurt by the ruthless onslaught by and . The pace trio decided to work on a plan all by themselves. 'We got together in a small corner and discussed what we needed to be doing. We decided every time we are at the top of the mark, we will trust each other. We need to go to speak to each other, ask if we are on the right track. It was all on us to bring our mate back on track and just make sure we are bowling the right lines and take it from there,' Prasidh Krishna told reporters. Prasidh Krishna press confefence: On sledging Joe Root, special chat with Mohammed Siraj and more Conversations around fast bowling often get lost in discussing the right areas, seam, swing and pace. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Siraj, Krishna and Akash focused on the human element. They needed to be in a good space to turn things around. 'We spoke about showing some body language (sic) for the next two-three hours, it would make a big difference. And it did,' Krishna said. There was some needling initiated by the Indian pacers. It couldn't have been one-way traffic with the English batters running away with the game. It induced an unusual reaction from Joe Root. The plan was working. If Siraj homed in on the stumps with full and swinging deliveries, Krishna backed his strength of hitting the deck hard and moving the ball off the seam. This trio has already delivered once in this series, taking 20 wickets at Edgbaston for the only win so far on the tour. The uncertainty around 's availability has meant they never had a run together to settle down as a pace attack, a departure from the process that helped India build the world-beating pace attack of Ishant Sharma, Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav seven years ago. Poll Who do you think is the most promising fast bowler for India in the Test format? Mohammed Siraj Prasidh Krishna Akash Deep Jasprit Bumrah The Bumrah scenario means that the one among the three — maybe the one with a comparatively weaker game — will always have to make way for Bumrah. 'All of the fast bowlers have spent a lot of time with each other on and off the field. We know what each one has to be doing when their chance comes up. Irrespective of Bumrah playing, we know what our roles are. When he's not there, I know what challenge it is to step up every single time you have the ball in your hand,' Krishna said. There is a reason why captain , who is also the captain of the Gujarat Titans, is more comfortable with having Siraj and Krishna in the XI. Krishna copped a lot of criticism for leaking runs in the earlier half of this series. Even bowling coach Morne Morkel distanced himself from Krishna's plans to resort to the short-ball plan at Headingley and Edgbaston. 'I'm definitely being backed by the dressing room or whatever. Me not playing the last two games also enables me to go back to the drawing board and do what I have been doing in a better way,' said Krishna. The Indian selectors are concerned about replenishing the fast-bowling pool for Test cricket. A lot will depend on the trio to close out this Test and establish their place in India's Test scheme of things.
