Former India opener Virender Sehwag didn’t hold back when assessing Chennai Super Kings' crushing loss to Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday at Chepauk Stadium. The five-time champions were rattled by KKR bowlers and reduced them to just 103/9 in their 20 overs. MS Dhoni, who had recently replaced injured Ruturaj Gaikwad as the team's captain, was dismissed in a controversial way for just 1 runs from four deliveries. Dhoni came into bat at number nine but was trapped before the wicket by Sunil Narine. In a hilarously blunt take, Sehwag dismissed the notion that MS Dhoni batting up the order would have changed the fortunes for the home side. “I don’t think so. If he didn’t get out, they could’ve scored a maximum of 130. KKR chased this target (104) down in 10.1 overs. We would be coming live at 11:30pm instead. That would’ve been the only difference,” Sehwag said during the post-match analysis. CSK suffer fifth consecutive defeat Chennai Super Kings slumped to their fifth straight defeat in IPL 2025 and now sit at the 9th position on the points table, with just one win from six matches. Their only victory came early in the season against Mumbai Indians. Since then, CSK have lost five matches in a row.
