Fans slam dhoni for hiding behind Ashwin's back..!?

CSK lost to RCB by 5 runs in the IPL 2025 season. The tactics adopted by CSK in this match have caused great anger among the fans. For the fans who were expecting to win the trophy for the sixth time, CSK's performance was so good that they thought that it would be great luck if CSK went to the playoffs this time. Batting first, RCB scored 196 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Following this, CSK's Ruturaj, shivam Dubey, deepak Hooda, rahul Tirupati, and sam Curran lost their games by a few runs. This made the fans know that CSK's defeat was certain. However, the fans expected CSK to reduce the margin of defeat.
 Since dhoni was on the field, the fans who expected CSK to fight till the end were disappointed. shivam Dubey, who came on as an impact player for CSK, lost the game for 19 runs in the 12.5th over. At that time, CSK needed to score 117 runs in 43 balls to win. After shivam Dubey lost his game, many fans expected dhoni to come on the field and fight alone. But instead of dhoni, Ashwin came on the field. This disappointed all CSK fans. Ashwin, a spin bowler, tried to play a big shot. But he could only hit singles. Ashwin scored 11 runs off 8 balls. This included only one boundary. Ashwin lost the game in the second over at 15 points. Due to this, dhoni came to the field as the 9th man.


 However, dhoni also stumbled at first. He scored only three runs off six balls. In the end, it came to a point where it was impossible to win, and CSK needed 76 runs off 12 balls to win. After that, dhoni hit three fours and two sixes. This is what the fans are now protesting. When dhoni is in good form, they are questioning why he should hide behind Ashwin and come to the field late. CSK fans are saying that dhoni should have come on the field earlier scored runs and fought as a single player to reduce CSK's margin of defeat. They have also criticized CSK's strategy as being very bad.
