For the unversed, during the 2000s, there were a lot of rumours which suggested that MS Dhoni's diet featured five litres of milk per day. This is the reason why the keeper-batter used to hit big sixes, and hence it was one of the trending topics at that time

Coming to the Indian Premier League 2025, the Chennai Super Kings are having a tough time. The MS Dhoni & Co. are stationed last on the points table and are on the verge of becoming the first team to be eliminated from the tournament, especially with other teams doing great at the top.

Chennai Super Kings have won just 2 games

Chennai Super Kings have won just 2 games, and qualifying for the playoffs of the tournament is very difficult for them as they need to win all their remaining games from now on. They recently faced their sixth loss of the season as they were thrashed by the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

The franchise will be keen to make a strong comeback in the next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The match between the two teams is set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday (25th April).
