WATCH: Victory came after 5 defeats, but Dhoni's move increased the concern of the fans, Mahi was seen limping after the match
Chennai Super Kings returned to the path of victory by defeating Lucknow after five consecutive defeats in IPL 2025, but the move of captain Dhoni increased the concern of the fans. Dhoni, who became the captain again after Ruturaj Gaikwad got injured, changed the playing eleven and strategy and led the team to victory. However, Dhoni was seen limping after the match, which is raising questions about his fitness.
There was news of relief for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025 when the team broke the streak of consecutive defeats of five matches and defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 5 wickets. The match was played on Monday, 14 April at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. With this win, Chennai has once again indicated a comeback under the captaincy of MS Dhoni.
In fact, Dhoni was re-assigned the captaincy after regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured and ruled out of the tournament. Initially, Chennai started the tournament strongly by defeating Mumbai Indians, but after that the team had to face defeat in five consecutive matches.
However, a worrying scene was also seen amid the celebration of victory. Dhoni was seen limping after the match, which caused a wave of concern among the fans. Dhoni did not look completely comfortable even during wicketkeeping. When he returned to the dressing room after the match was over, his walking discomfort was clearly visible while climbing the stairs.
Even when he arrived to receive the Player of the Match trophy, his walk was not normal. A video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which Dhoni is seen limping again while entering the team hotel. However, he was not wearing any knee-brace or support, which makes it seem that the matter is not serious yet.
Dhoni's knee problems are not new, but this is the first time this season that he has been seen in such pain. So far, there has been no official comment from the Chennai Super Kings management or Dhoni, but fans are hoping that Mahi will get fit soon and return to the field with full energy.
