CSK Find Their Spark Again: Dhoni, Dube Deliver Knockout Blow to LSG
It was MI last night, now CSK tonight—two IPL giants showing they’ve still got some fight left in them this season. Chennai Super Kings broke their losing streak in style and halted LSG’s three-match winning run, clinching a thrilling win in Lucknow. Rishabh Pant finally found form with a solid 63, giving LSG a competitive total, but with dew setting in during the second innings, the pitch eased up a bit—just enough for Chennai to chase it down.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing though. CSK stumbled in the middle overs, especially against LSG’s spinners, and the game tightened up towards the end. But then came that man again—MS Dhoni. With the crowd roaring louder for the visitors than the hosts, Dhoni walked out and swung momentum CSK’s way, smashing a quickfire 26 off just 11 balls to seal the deal.
With that knock, Dhoni not only gave Chennai a much-needed win but also created history—becoming the oldest player to win a Man of the Match award in IPL history.
Post-Match Quotes
MS Dhoni (CSK captain & POTM):
“Winning always feels good, especially in a tournament like this where every game counts. We’ve had some close losses this season, and sometimes cricket just doesn’t go your way. This game wasn’t easy either—conditions in the powerplay were tricky, we didn’t start well with the ball, and we kept losing wickets at key moments during our chase.
The Chennai pitch being a bit slow hasn’t helped us much either; our batters have looked better on true wickets away from home. So we’ve got to find ways to play our shots and not play timid cricket. The bowling unit’s doing a solid job though, especially now with the changes we’ve made.
I was particularly impressed with Shaik Rasheed today—he’s been doing well in the nets and it showed tonight. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d get the award. Noor bowled really well too.” Match-30|LSG VS CSK|CSK WON THE MATCH|2025
Shivam Dube (CSK):
“This one meant a lot. Losing five in a row is not what CSK stands for. I really wanted to stay till the end and finish the game, especially after we lost a few quick wickets. It wasn’t about attacking blindly—just playing to the situation. The bowlers were smart, so the plan was simple: don’t overhit, just play smart cricket. We’ll carry the positives from this into the next one.”
Rishabh Pant (LSG captain):
“We felt 10–15 runs short. There were a few moments when we had the momentum but we lost wickets at the wrong times. I personally feel better with every game, just taking it one at a time. We discussed a few options but didn’t end up bowling Bishnoi at the death. Maybe I should have used him when Dhoni came in. It’s something we’ll think about.
Our powerplay bowling continues to be an area to improve, but there’s still a lot to take away and build on.” Match-30|LSG VS CSK|CSK WON THE MATCH|2025
Match Recap
Despite playing in Lucknow, the crowd clearly had their favorites. From the moment Dhoni walked out to bat, the stadium erupted in yellow and didn’t stop cheering until the last run was scored. His late assault, along with Shivam Dube holding his nerve, brought CSK home in a chase that could’ve slipped away. Match-30|LSG VS CSK|CSK WON THE MATCH|2025
Earlier in the innings, Shaik Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra provided a rare brisk start in the powerplay—something CSK had lacked this season. That platform helped offset the mid-innings slowdown caused by LSG’s spinners—Digvesh, Bishnoi, and Markram.
One moment that might draw criticism was Pant not finishing Bishnoi’s quota—especially when Dhoni walked out with CSK needing 56 off 30 balls. Instead, LSG went with pace, and Dhoni made them pay instantly.
It wasn’t just a win. It was a statement that Chennai Super Kings aren’t done just yet. With Dhoni at the helm and momentum swinging their way, this might be the spark they needed to reignite their campaign.
