**Mumbai, April 20, 2025** – MS Dhoni received a thunderous ovation from the Wankhede Stadium crowd on Sunday as he addressed fans before the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match against Mumbai Indians (MI). The iconic ground holds special significance for Dhoni, most notably for his role in India’s 2011 World Cup victory. Dhoni’s appearance came as CSK captain following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s tournament-ending injury.

Despite losing the toss and MI opting to field, Dhoni expressed his agreement with the decision, citing the anticipated dew factor. He emphasized CSK’s need for a team-focused approach, acknowledging their position at the bottom of the points table and urging bold, decisive play from both batters and bowlers.

Dhoni highlighted fielding as a key area for improvement, stating that dropped catches have hampered CSK’s performance. He also confirmed the debut of Ayush Mhatre for CSK in the high-stakes match against their arch-rivals. The game marked a significant moment for both the legendary captain and the struggling CSK team.
