Fri Apr 25 15:30:00 UTC 2025: ## SRH Owner’s Joy Dampens CSK Fans After Dhoni’s Cheap Dismissal

**Chennai, April 25, 2025** – The MA Chidambaram Stadium witnessed a stark contrast in reactions Friday night as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) slumped to a disappointing defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). While the home crowd fell silent following MS Dhoni’s early dismissal for just six runs, SRH owner Kavya Maran celebrated openly in the stands.

Dhoni’s cheap dismissal, his third single-digit score in nine innings this season, came in the 17th over, bowled by Harshal Patel. Maran’s jubilation stood in stark contrast to the dejected CSK fans, a scene captured on camera and quickly going viral. Earlier in the match, Maran had displayed visible frustration when Patel dropped a catch offered by Ravindra Jadeja.

The match itself saw a disappointing CSK performance, bowled out for a paltry 154 in 19.5 overs. While young Ayush Mhatre (30) and Dewald Brevis (42) provided brief moments of excitement, the team struggled to build momentum. Even the presence of Kollywood star Ajith Kumar and his family in the stands couldn’t lift the team’s performance or the spirits of the home crowd. CSK’s struggles at home continue, marking their third loss in four home games this IPL season, and failing to break the 160-run mark at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for the season. The team’s underwhelming performance left fans disheartened, overshadowed even by the star presence in the stands.
