New Delhi. When IPL 2025 started on 22 April, hardly anyone would have thought that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would be seen in the last place in the point table. But this happened. Chennai’s team not only kept losing continuously, but also lost badly. It was clear in half the tournament that Chennai Super Kings is out of the playoff race. On CSK’s poor performance, captain MS Dhoni said that his team has started preparations for next year, leaving behind this year’s disappointment.
Chennai Super Kings had handed over the captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad before IPL 2024. But he was injured in the middle tournament in 2025. After this, MS Dhoni was given the command of the team. Dhoni, who won 5 titles to CSK, could not do wonders this time. Dhoni said during the match toss against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, ‘I think we have started the process of preparing the team for next year. Talking about this season, we have lost excess runs in bowling. Perhaps we need an additional bowler who can bowl better after the powerplay. We have done well in the last few matches and we want to move forward in this way.

Dhoni said that after the playoff expectations were over this session, the team started focusing on planning the future. He said, ‘When we were out of the tournament, we had to find answers to our flaws. This is about creating the right combination and including the player in the playing XI that you can achieve in the auction. In the beginning of the season, we were struggling in batting. We have improved it.
After the match against Rajasthan, Chennai’s team will end their campaign with the match against Gujarat Titans. Dhoni said, ‘When you are under pressure, you yourself seek options. In these matches, you have a chance to prove yourself and play your shots. We have seen in other teams that by playing good shots, runs can be scored at a better strike rate. (input language)
