Chennai’s Super Kings captain MS Dhoni on Tuesday advised young Indian batsmen who have impressed to remain calm under pressure in the IPL and try to maintain continuity if they wish to pursue their ability forward. 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, she was taking the opportunity and I think the run-rate was good, this is the stage that we want 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) Kambaj is good, that is very good, what you expect is good.
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.
“Definitely we could do better. It’s not about fate. We have made some mistakes. We should come back with a better mindset in the next season.” On the victory, he said, “It feels good. To be honest, we were thinking that we should bat first and set a score. I decided that there is no hidden in the game. Decided to chase and face it.
“We have a very young bowling line. We are missing and are Joffra and Sandeep. But the kind of nature and plan to see the plan. They have a bright future. They are very small and promise. A lot of work is going on.”
Samson praised Pesar Akash Madhwal (3/29) and Vaibhav Suryavanshi (57) for his performance. “Madhwal has played only the last four matches. Shane Bonds are working with him. Rahul sir and others have seen how hard they have worked. We are all happy for him.
“I do not have words for Vaibhav. Hundreds were found. RR opening batter Yashsvi Jaiswal, one of the top run gates this season, said, “It was very good, we were trying our best and I really enjoyed it.
“There have been some injuries with the team, Sanju Bhai came back after some games and it was a good game for us, we will take the confidence that will move forward.” On Suryavanshi, Jaiswal said, “He really played well, he played surprisingly today, we have seen how he is playing throughout the tournament.” “The bowlers have bowled very well, we have a clear plan where we have to bowl. I was telling them that whatever plan you have, to go with a clear head and go to it.”
