After yesterday’s Chennai Super Kings victory against Lucknow Super Giants, MS Dhoni was awarded Player of the Match, so Dhoni is a little confused!
MS Dhoni was surprised to be awarded the Player of the Match award. Dhoni scored just 26 runs in 11 balls, hitting 4 fours and 1 six, in thrilling innings. He became the oldest player in IPL 2025 at the age of 43 and was given this award for his brilliant performance.

But he was surprised, even he felt that Noor Ahmed, the real recipient of this award, was Sivam Dubey’s brilliant performance. Dhoni said, “Even today I was thinking – ‘Why are they giving me this award?” Noor really bowled very well, he should be given the award.
Chennai Super Kings are at the bottom of the IPL table and if they want to maintain their dominance in IPL 2025, they will have to win all the quota matches.
The expert said, “They have won only 2 out of 6 matches. if Chennai Super Kings want to save themselves in IPL 2025, they will have to forget about yesterday’s win and win every match ahead. They will have to give their best performance. The 11 players will have to understand their jobs and perform.
"I think the man of the match should have been given to Noor Ahmed or any of the bowlers who played the opening spell"

Uncap captain MS Dhoni said, “One match is good but in this kind of tournament, you want to win all the matches. Unfortunately for some reason we lost the previous match, maybe because of that but today’s win has given us confidence, we want to improve more, you see in the beginning, whether it is the combination in powerplay or the conditions, we were struggling, our batting unit could not give a good start, and the wickets fell, we lost wickets at the wrong time, we want to play our confident game.”
