To be fair, csk didn’t have sufficient quality in the batting. The top order looked solid, with ruturaj gaikwad and rachin ravindra, at least on paper; However, the team did not have solid middle order batters who would compete with the pace of evr-evolving t20 format.
“They Always say ms dhoni makes the final call. But to be very honest, I never attased any of the auctions. I was never a part of that that discussions. I Always about the players who are A call about whether to go ahead with a player or not – but he’s not that involved, “said raina on star sports
“The core group handles the auction – you can imagine, Dhoni can’t have this type of auction. Player is working hard, look at ms dhoni –Being a 43-yar-old captain, still giving Everything. “
“He’s playing just for the brand, for his name, for the fandom – and still putting in the effort. At 43, he’s Doing wicketkeeping, capting, carrying the entreen team on his shoulders. But whats Players Doing? “
Raina also took a dig at csk players for their poor show in IPL 2025, Saying That MS Dhoni is Doing What He Can, but the Lack of Support from Other Players Has Hurt the team.
“Thos who are paid Rs 18 years, Rs 17 brors, Rs 12 brus – they’re not responding to the captain. Identify – is this player a match -winner? “
“Can I Trust This Player in the Next Match? There are players who’ve ben playing there for years – even the older ons. But what are the results? You’re losing.
Meanwhile, Raina Expects a Major Shape-up in CSK, LED by MS Dhoni Himself.
“I think ms dhoni will now sit down – he won’t anyone Around Him. He knows csk Didnys t buy properly in auction. Toss, when they lost, the way he walked – and bot of them was standing there – it’s clear there’s going to be a meeting today, ”He added.
With two wins in nine games, CSK’s Chances of Reaching The Playoffs are all but over.
