New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) broke a five-game losing streak on April 14th, 2025, defeating the Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match. After an opening victory, CSK had suffered five consecutive losses. Bowling first, they limited Lucknow to 166/7, before successfully chasing the total with three balls remaining. This win secured two crucial points for the team.
Facing a challenging situation at 111/5 needing 56 runs from 30 balls, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) received a boost when MS Dhoni joined Shivam Dube. Their unbroken partnership secured CSK’s win.
Suryakumar Yadav, captain of India’s T20I team and Mumbai Indians batsman, posted a congratulatory message on Instagram celebrating Chennai Super Kings‘ victory. His post included a photo of Dhoni and Dube and quoted a line from the movie “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.”
“Mahi bhai- Strike dega toh tum bana lega? Dube – Try kar lenge. Mahi bhai – Try karna hai toh hum hi kar lete hai. Tum bas runout mat karwa dena. (Dhoni – Will win the match if I give you the strike? Dube – I will try. Dhoni – I can also try then. You just don’t get me run out),” read the caption.
Neeraj Pandey‘s 2016 biopic of MS Dhoni, starring Sushant Singh Rajput, is a well-known film. In a recent match, Shivam Dube scored 43 runs (not out) from 37 balls, and Dhoni contributed an unbeaten 26 from just 11 balls, earning him the Player of the Match award—a record for the oldest IPL recipient of this honor.
Dhoni expressed satisfaction with his team’s victory, emphasizing the importance of wins in tournaments. He acknowledged previous setbacks, attributing them to various factors, and highlighted the positive impact of this win on team morale and future improvement. He also noted the challenging nature of the match, suggesting a degree of divine intervention in their earlier struggles.
