IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ka is season mein performance kuch khaas nahi raha, aur ab former star Suresh Raina ne management ki dhajjiya uda di hain! Unhone Star Sports par khulasa kiya ki MS Dhoni ka auction aur team selection mein zyada involvement nahi tha, jaise log sochte hain.
“Kashi [CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan] sir – unhone lagbhag 30-40 saal se administration sambhala hai. Aur Rupa Ma’am cricket operations manage karti hain – player kharidna, core group maintain karna. Lekin is baar players ki selection sahi nahi hui,” Raina ne bataya Star Sports ke panel par.
Raina ne ye bhi clear kiya ki CSK mein decisions hamesha Dhoni nahi lete, aur unka role sirf kuch key players ko retain karne tak simit rehta hai.
“Log kehte hain MS Dhoni sab kuch decide karte hain. Lekin honestly, main kabhi kisi auction mein nahi gaya. Mera role bas retained players tak hota tha. MS ko bas pucha jata hai ki kisi player ko rakhna hai ya nahi – lekin wo deeply involved nahi hote,” Raina ne saaf kiya.
Raina ka maanna hai ki Dhoni ab bhi apni taraf se pura effort daal rahe hain, lekin naye players jo bade contracts pe aaye hain, wo expected performances nahi de pa rahe.
“Auction ka pura control core group ke paas hota hai. Dhoni bas kuch players ke naam de sakte hain. Unko dekh kar lagta hai – 43 saal ki umar mein bhi MS pura dum laga rahe hain,” Raina ne emotional hote hue bola.
“Wicketkeeping, captaincy, aur poore team ka bojh – sab kuch MS ke kandhon pe hai. Lekin dusre players? Jo crores mein bik rahe hain – Rs 18 crore, Rs 17 crore – unka performance ka level match nahi karta,” Raina ne apni frustration dikhayi.
“Jo teams se hum kabhi nahi haare the, unse bhi haar rahe hain. Samajhna padega ki kya ye players match-winners hain?” Raina ne pointedly kaha.
“Aise players jo saalon se team mein hain, unse bhi wahi galtiyan baar-baar ho rahi hain. Result wahi hai – haar,” unhone add kiya.
Raina ka strong belief hai ki Dhoni ab apna man bana chuke hain aur jaldi ek strong meeting hone wali hai jahan bade decisions liye jaenge.
“Mujhe lagta hai Dhoni ab baithak karenge. Jab toss ke baad unka body language dekha, toh clear tha ki kuch bada hone wala hai,” Raina ne hint diya.
Filhaal CSK ne season ke 9 matches mein se 7 matches haar chuke hain aur ab unka next match Punjab Kings (PBKS) ke against 30 April ko hone wala hai.
