Mi vs CSK: ‘I think we …’, captain Dhoni gave this big statement against Mumbai on a crushing defeat against Mumbai

MS Dhoni Statement after lose vs mi ipl 2025: Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by nine wickets in the match played between IPL legendary teams on Sunday thanks to an unbeaten half -century innings of Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit scored 76 runs in this edition of the T20 tournament and National T20 captain Suryakumar scored 68 runs off 30 balls at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both of them shared a 114 -run partnership and played an important role in achieving the target of 177 runs to the five -time champion team with 26 balls remaining.

Dhoni told what was a big reason for defeat

I think we were far below the average, because we all knew that the dew would come in the second half and we were in a position to take advantage of the middle overs, and I felt that Bumrah is one of the best death bowlers in the world at this time, I felt that once he started his death bowling, this was the time when we should take advantage of it and after a little, we should start a little before. If it is a plus point, I think there were some overs where we could score a few more runs. We needed those runs because 175 runs with dew do not have an average score.

Dhoni said on Ayush Mhatre’s debut

Regarding the debut of Ayush Mhatre, Dhoni (MS Dhoni on Ayush Mhatre) said that I think he actually batted well as a young player, and such an approach needs to be where you play your shots and at the same time you choose your shots which are your strength and I think we have not seen their shots and we have not seen them. Therefore, it is a good sign for us in the top order that if he can continue playing the shot, it will be a bit easier for the middle and lower order.

I think some balls were still catching and the most important for us were the first 6 overs, and if you give too much in the first 6 overs it becomes a little easier and Surya is a great player of spin bowling and was doing it a little with dew, but it was not that it was coming well. We need to feel that we are successful because we play good cricket and at the same time when we are not playing good cricket, what is important is that you are not very emotional about it and you want to be practical.

There are many such examples, I think a season of 2020 has not been very good for us, but we need to see if we are playing cricket in the right form, are we putting ourselves. These are question marks in front of us, some catches and it will help. Apart from this, we are just trying to overcome the shortcomings, all the games in front of us, we just have to focus on a game at once and if we lose something, then the most important thing for us will be that we prepare the correct combination for next year. You do not want a lot of players to change, the most important thing will be that we try and qualify, but if it does not, then make 11 safe for next year and make a strong return.
