"MS Dhoni deliberately hiding from Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine"- Twitter levels serious allegations

Fans on Twitter reacted after Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni walked out to bat at nine during the ongoing game against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2025. The game between the two teams is underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday (11th April).

Chennai Super Kings are having a terrible time with the bat in the ongoing game against Kolkata Knight Riders. Asked to bat first, the Dhoni-led side has looked clueless against the spinners of the opposition on a surface that has been offering spin.

MS Dhoni walked out to bat at 9 during CSK vs KKR

Chennai Super Kings were left reeling at 64 for four, and it was expected that Dhoni would take the responsibility and walk out to bat early. But that wasn't the case, as he promoted Ravichandran Ashwin to get some quick runs, but the move failed as he was back early, scoring just 1 run off 7 balls.

After Ravichandran Ashwin got out, Dhoni was still sitting in the dressing room, as it was Ravindra Jadeja who walked out to bat at seven. But when the all-rounder got out, it was almost certain that he would be the one who would come and bat.

But to the surprise of many, Chennai Super Kings used an impact player as he sent out Deepak Hooda. The move, too, failed, and finally, it was at nine when Dhoni walked out to bat. This came as a massive surprise, as his coming to bat this late surely didn't help the team.

Dhoni scored just 1 run off 4 balls

Dhoni, at nine, couldn't make a bigger impact as it was Sunil Narine, who trapped him lbw. The Chennai Super Kings skipper managed just 1 run off 4 balls. He looked scratchy during his stay as Chennai Super Kings were left reeling at 75 for eight.

This was the third time that Sunil Narine removed Dhoni in T20s. Overall in 19 innings, the keeper-batter has managed just 48 runs off 92 balls at an average and strike rate of 16 and 52.17

MS Dhoni walking at no 7/8/9 in many matches where CSK struggles. Today it continues too.

Still fools believing #Dhoni is not a selfish player.#csk

Dhoni is facing the treatment he gave to his senior players.

This is not MS Dhoni whom we have seen over the years. How can he be selfish enough to put himself so down to number 9. How can you except others to play good when u yourself being the captain is not ready for a face off. He has ruined his own mighty CSK fort. Autocracy#CSKvsKKR pic.twitter.com/ZfKhmAzlcs

MS Dhoni is coming out to bat at no. 9...Don't you think that 5 or maximum 6 is the best position for Dhoni where he even performed well in the last match against PBKS?9 is too late for him I think...Any say on it??#MSDhoni𓃵 #KKRvsCSK
