IPL 2025, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy style has become outdated because he has been captain for a long time, so Dhoni’s strategy has become outdated.
IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings A strong team like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has been in a bad situation recently. But the reason for this is their consistent strategy, if we look at Chennai’s history and record of wins and losses, then it is clear that in every season when one of the four foreign players selected by the team was the gun opener, that same year, they performed brilliantly.
In the early years, they had the great Australian opener Matthew Hayden, then came Australia’s Michael Hussey, after that Caribbean player Dwayne Smith took charge of a good start, then former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum also came to them from Kolkata Knight Riders, former South African captain Faf du Plessis also played very well for a few years, then they gambled on another Australian opener Shane Watson, which proved to be a master class decision.
Kiwi batsman Devon Conway had also also played well for the last two years, but this year, Conway and Rachin Ravindra have not been doing well, which is why Chennai’s fortunes have been poor.
After a few years, the way of playing changes. The England team could not advance beyond the league stage of the 2015 ODI World Cup. After the 2015 World Cup, England changed the way of playing the team and made Eoin Morgan the captain and gave all the power in his hands.
After that, the kind of dominance that the England team maintained in the cricket world for the next four to five years, it made all the teams afraid, after which the way of playing of all the teams changed.
Will Dhoni announce his retirement after IPL 2025?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy style has become outdated because he has been captain for a long time, so Dhoni’s strategy has become outdated.
After winning the inaugural World Cup of T20 cricket in 2007, it took the team a long time of seventeen years to kiss this trophy. Dhoni’s policy of defending touch to touch till the end of the match and taking the team’s total to par score by hitting shots on the last fifteen balls is responsible for the humiliation that has been met in every edition of the T20 World Cup.
Now the same thing is happening with Chennai and their logic behind playing it is not digestible that Dhoni is a big brand and the Chennai team is not ready to let him go yet.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. This iconic line is said by the character Harvey Dent to Bruce Wayne, the famous alter ego Batman, in the 2008 film The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan. This is exactly what is happening with Dhoni.
Did anyone ever think that Dhoni would face trolling one day? Now the situation has become like this, the audience is fed up with the Hindi commentary during CSK matches.

In a cricket-related show on YouTube, a man used to comment that if Dhoni poisons his guards, half of the Hindi commentary team would be found dead by morning.
Another one did the same. On one such show, the anchor was talking when Dhoni left the ground for a while to go to the latrine, then someone would comment that thank God, he is gone now, Dhoni came back in two minutes, once the captain of this team wearing the yellow jersey, Saab, had not returned for two years.
