CSK Win A Goodbye Title for MSD: Former cricketer and pundit Aakash Chopra urged Chennai Super Kings and their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to win the IPL 2025 trophy for MS Dhoni if MS is having his last dance at the tournament.
Aakash Chopra Wants CSK Win A Goodbye Title for MSD
On his YouTube channel, Mr. Chopra said that Ruturaj Gaikwad got a great opportunity to lead a franchise like CSK, but it comes with a lot of pressure.
“Ruturaj Gaikwad has got the opportunity to lead an incredible franchise. Although he gets acceptance, everyone gave him love when Dhoni gave the captaincy to him with his own hands, he has to carry the legacy forward. So that pressure will definitely be there. They are okay with it even though the first season might not have been good and you didn’t qualify,” he said
Given that it could be the last season for MS Dhoni, Aakash Chopra wants Ruturaj to win a title for the former Skipper.
“However, if a franchise like Chennai remains non-performing continuously, doesn’t reach the finals or lifts the trophy, then there will be pressure. We don’t know how many more years Dhoni would play. This might be the last year. If this is the last year, you want to bid him goodbye with a trophy. So it could be a massive opportunity for Ruturaj Gaikwad,” Chopra added.
Aakash Chopra also said that Chennai Super Kings don’t have many flaws but lack a bit of firepower in their squad. He also pointed out that Ravindra Jadeja doesn’t have power required for the IPL
“I am not able to find too many of them. When we look at the Chennai squad, too many challenges are not seen. They probably lack a little firepower because you have a legit finisher in the form of Shivam Dube, and you have one in the form of Dhoni, but Dhoni doesn’t come to bat before the 17th over,” he said (6:45).
“The power you talk about in T20 games hasn’t been seen in Ravindra Jadeja. You might see Rahul Tripathi playing, and then Devon Conway at the top, they are more like grafters. They are collectors but maybe not powerful strikers. I had to do some nitpicking to find challenges,” he observed.
