MS Dhoni loses cool, Shivam Dube ignores instructions, CSK instantly rewarded with...
New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings ended their IPL 2025 campaign on a high with a massive 83-run win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday. After electing to bat first in the match, the five-time champions posted a mammoth 230 in 20 overs, with Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis scoring half-centuries.
After this, GT could not even get close to the target and were bundled out for 147 runs. Despite dominating the match, there was a moment when CSK captain MS Dhoni got angry at his teammate. Let's know what is the whole matter? Why did MS Dhoni get angry with Shivam-Pathirana?
Actually, this incident happened in the 10th over of the innings, where Gujarat scored 18 runs in Shivam Dubey's over. The pair of Sai Sudarshan and Shahrukh Khan were making a great partnership and fours were being hit continuously on the field. As soon as the over was over, MS Dhoni looked disappointed as no one was following his advice and instructions. Dhoni was particularly upset with Mathisha Pathirana and Shivam Dubey.
When Ravindra Jadeja came to bowl the 11th over, this time Dhoni made some changes in the field and his strategy worked immediately. On the very first ball of the over, Jadeja trapped Shahrukh in his trap, who played a shot and got caught by Pathirana at short third man.

— Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) May 25, 2025 What did MS Dhoni say after the match?
After the match, MS Dhoni said,
'It's good. I wouldn't say it was housefull today, but there was a decent crowd. It's a very big stadium. We haven't had a good season, but it was good to finish with a win. It was one of those great performances in the bowling and batting department. We didn't catch very well, but it was a game where our fielding and catching were good.'
He further added, 'It (whether he will play next season) depends. I have 4-5 months to decide, there is no hurry to decide what needs to be done. Every year it takes 15% more effort to keep the body fit. You have to give your best, this is top level cricket. This is professional cricket. It is not always the performance that you can count on.'

Sanju Samson will sit out, Shubman Gill and Abhishek to open in Asia Cup: Rahane

India batter Ajinkya Rahane believes the return of Shubman Gill—and his appointment as vice-captain for the upcoming Asia Cup—could force the team management into a tough call: leaving out Sanju Samson from the Playing on his YouTube channel, Rahane said Gill's form and leadership role make him the frontrunner to open alongside Abhishek Sharma. He added that while Samson has been a consistent T20I performer and a selfless team man, the situation might force India to rethink the balance of their Playing he's back in the team, I'm sure he is most likely to open with Abhishek Sharma. Personally, I would like to see Sanju Samson in the team because he has done really well. Very confident guy, very good team man. I feel that is a very important thing,' Rahane said. Samson's aggressive yet composed batting has been central to India's recent T20I success. However, Rahane suggested the wicketkeeper-batter might selflessly make way for Gill, given the team's changing dynamics and Gill's leadership role.'Sanju is a great team man, but that's a very good problem to have for the team management. In my opinion, probably Sanju Samson will sit out, though as I said, I would like him to play and be in the playing XI. But Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma will open the innings for the team,' Rahane numbers underline why he is hard to ignore. He finished as the top run-getter in the Test series in England, smashing 754 runs in just five matches at an average of 75.40, including four centuries. In the IPL, too, he scored 650 runs at a strike rate of 155.87, playing a pivotal role in taking Gujarat Titans into the selector Ajit Agarkar recently admitted the final call on the Playing XI will rest with the captain and coach, keeping fans guessing ahead of India's opener in Dubai."Captain-coach will take the call on the best balance for the team. Once we get to Dubai, will have a bit more clarity. More options available now, Shubman been in great form anyway last few months. So has Sanju. so two good options, along with Abhishek," Agarkar said during the squad announcement in meanwhile, can only wait to see whether form, loyalty, or tactical needs win out when India take the field in Dubai.- EndsMust Watch

'Where is Shreyas Iyer? How could he miss out?': Dinesh Karthik slams India's Asia Cup squad omission

Shreyas Iyer (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has strongly questioned the exclusion of Shreyas Iyer from India's 2025 Asia Cup squad, calling it a 'tad bit unfair.' The BCCI on Tuesday named a 15-member squad, along with five reserves, for the tournament — but Iyer's absence has triggered widespread debate. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The 30-year-old has been in sizzling form. In IPL 2025, Iyer amassed 604 runs at an average of 50.33 and a strike rate of 170.07, guiding Punjab Kings to the final with six half-centuries. Despite those numbers, he found no place either in the main squad or among the reserves. Poll Should Shreyas Iyer have been included in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad? Yes, definitely! No, the team is fine without him. Maybe, depends on team strategy. Reacting to the snub, Karthik took to Instagram on Thursday and said: 'Where is Shreyas Iyer? That's the big question, isn't it? How could he miss out? To a point, it's understandable. He wasn't part of the 15, considering how well Team India have done. 17 out of the last 20 they have won, so okay, continuity, fair. But not making him part of the other five players which you have earmarked for the near future with the T20 World Cup in mind?' Karthik further added: 'Closing doors on him? That's a tad bit unfair and I hope it doesn't happen because he has done outstandingly well as a leader, but even better as a batter under pressure.' He concluded by stressing Iyer's value: 'It looks a solid squad, but again Shreyas Iyer, I feel, should have been part of the 20 for sure.' Iyer has played 51 T20Is for India, scoring 1,104 runs with eight fifties — numbers that only add weight to Karthik's argument. India's Asia Cup 2025 squad Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh. Reserves: Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
