“Math Is Not Mathating”: South Africa’s Great Dale Stan CSK takes a brutal excavation on CSK

Dale Steyn, the fast bowler of the legend South Africa cricket team, on Tuesday, during his IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals, excavated the decision to send Chennai Super Kings and R Ashwin to bat in the top 5 in the top 5. The CSK was sent to batting in front of Developed Bravis and MS Dhoni after CSK faced the fall at the top of their innings. However, the move did not work in his favor as they were rejected for 13 and 1 respectively. Steyn resorted to social media to express his feelings about the strategy and even excavated a pussy. “CSK 3 below and they send 2 bowlers to bat. Sometimes I think they do not have mathematics,” Stan wrote on X (East Twitter).

CSK 3 below and they send 2 bowlers to bat.

Sometimes I feel that their mathematics is not mathematics.

Coming in the match, Dhoni on Tuesday advised the young Indian batsmen who have impressed in the IPL to remain calm under pressure and try to maintain continuity if they wish to pursue their ability.

Dhoni’s CSK 10-Team lost to Rajasthan Royals by six wickets in his paintimet match to stay at the bottom of the IPL table.

Rajasthan Royals concluded their mourning 2025 IPL campaign, with a comfortable win with a comfortable win, paving the way with a mature 57 runs with a knock of 57 runs.

Dhoni said, “They have to try for continuity, but if you are looking for a 200-plus strike rate, it is difficult to achieve continuity …. They have the ability to hit sixes at any level,” Dhoni asked the youth who excelled in this IPL about their advice.

“Don’t take pressure, when expectations increase … learn from senior players and coaching staff .. It’s about reading games … It will be my advice for all the youth who have done well.” When asked about the match, Dhoni said that his side initially lost one or two additional wickets.

“If you look at the amount of runs on the board, it was very good, but you got to see the wicket column as it pressures the lower-middle order that you cannot do 20 overs.

“I think Brevis’s innings was very good, he was taking a chance and I think the run-rate was good, this is the stage that we wanted to improve a little. I felt that the run-rate was up, but where we were short, she was initially losing 1-2 additional wickets.” “(Pesar) Kamboj is good, he gets a lot of movement, his balls hit you more difficult than what he hoped, he is good … he has done well, it is difficult to bowl three overs in the powerplay.” RR ended his campaign with four wins and 10 defeats and Captain Sanju Samson admitted that his side had made mistakes and he could do better.

He said, “The way people are looking at the powerplay. There is not much difference in the quality of the teams. The margin of winning and losing is very low. We have to sit back and do a proper review,” he said.
