MS Dhoni’s struggles with the bat continue, with his last IPL fifty coming over 756 days ago against KKR.
He was unbeaten on 50 in that match. Since then, Dhoni’s been out 43 times, with a best of just 37.
Dhoni’s 2025 campaign has been nothing short of dismal. So far, he’s managed just 134 runs across 8 innings,
with a top score of 30. His strike rate’s taken a hit too, dropping to around 150 from 220 last season.
Leading CSK in Ruturaj Gaikwad’s absence, Dhoni struggled against MI, scoring only 4 off 6 balls before
being caught by Tilak Varma.
Lackluster Form Continues
Dhoni is no stranger to big hits, but those have been few and far between lately. The Chennai Super Kings
captain’s been under pressure to deliver, but the runs just aren’t coming.
CSK’s upcoming matches are must-win for them to stay in the playoff hunt.
- Last fifty: March 2022 vs KKR
- Highest score this season: 30
- Strike rate this season: around 150
Dhoni’s been out 43 times since his last fifty, with his best being 37 against DC last season.
Dhoni’s legend isn’t defined by one bad patch, but CSK fans will be hoping for a turnaround soon.
