Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement about Dhoni’s playing in the IPL 2025 season. He said that Mahi must have taken this decision not for her own, but for the good of the team. Gavaskar believes that Dhoni always gives priority to the team and the decision will be in the interest of CSK.
This IPL 2025 season of Chennai Super Kings was also disappointing as the previous. The team is out of the playoff race for the second consecutive year. Meanwhile, former India -legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has made a big statement on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s return and CSK strategy.
Gavaskar said that players like Dhoni never decide for themselves, but for the benefit of the team. “MSD played this season, which means the decision must have been taken in the interest of CSK,” Gavaskar said in a conversation with Sports Today. “Whatever decision will be taken even further, he will take the good of the team’s good, not for himself.”
Significantly, Dhoni, who was moving towards the age of 44, was retained as an uncontempted player this time. However, he took over the captaincy again after Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured in the beach tournament, but the fate of the team did not change.
Gavaskar gave an important reason for CSK’s frequent failure – the strategy of auction and weakness of scouting. He said, “CSK’s scouting team seems weaker than the rest of the franchises. They should not rely only on domestic league like Jharkhand League or UP League. The batsmen running there often fail in front of international bowling.”
He advised CSK that the focus in the next auction should be on a bowling attack. “If you have a good bowler, then you can stop the opposition team and make pressure by taking wickets continuously.”
