Chennai Super Kings (CSK) aur Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ka IPL 2025 ka clash ab se kuch hi dino mein MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai mein hone wala hai. CSK abhi tak IPL 2025 mein achha start nahi kar paya hai, aur unhone sirf ek match jeeta hai. Dusri taraf, defending champions KKR ne apni paanch matches mein se do jeet liye hain.
India ke World Cup-winning legend Virender Sehwag ka maanna hai ki is clash mein KKR ko zyada favourites maana jaa raha hai. Unhone Star Sports par kaha:
“Mujhe lagta hai KKR jeet sakta hai. Chennai wo cricket nahi khel raha jo KKR khel raha hai. Isliye KKR ko is match mein jeet ki ummid zyada hai kyunki unke paas achhe spinners hain, aur unke batters spin ke against accha khelte hain. Chennai ki batting abhi tak nahi chal rahi. Agar batting chal gayi toh kuch ho sakta hai, nahi toh KKR,” Sehwag ne kaha.
Lekin Sehwag yeh bhi maante hain ki MS Dhoni ki presence ki wajah se CSK ko jeetne ka chance mil sakta hai. Unhone kaha:
“Ek nayi aasha jagi hai. Jo crowd stadium se bahar ja raha tha jab 24-25 runs per over ki zarurat thi, woh sab waapas aayenge kyunki Dhoni ki wapis aane se confidence aaya hai. Impossible toh bas bevakoofon ke dictionary mein hota hai. Agar MS Dhoni ho toh kuch bhi mumkin hai,” Sehwag ne apna viewpoint diya.
CSK ke liye IPL 2025 mein ek bada setback bhi aaya hai, kyunki unke regular captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, ko injury ke baad IPL 2025 se bahar kar diya gaya hai. Ab MS Dhoni ko wapas captain banaya gaya hai, aur unka yeh comeback KKR ke khilaaf hoga. Yeh pehli baar hoga jab Dhoni IPL 2023 ke baad kisi team ko captaincy karenge.
CSK ne ab tak 5 matches khel kar ek hi jeet hasil ki hai, aur unka IPL 2025 ka performance abhi tak disappointing raha hai. Unhone apni opening match mein Mumbai Indians (MI) ko hara diya tha. Abhi woh points table mein ninth position par hain, aur unhe apni performance sudharne ki zarurat hai.
