Captain MS Dhoni Is Back
It has been a poor start to the IPL 2025 campaign for the Yellow Army. The side is placed in the ninth spot with just 1 win from 5 games thus far. Now, it can be a change in the tides of fortune that the old horse is once again back at the helm.
MS Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains for the side over the years. The team will be desperate for a revival, and who better to stage the comeback than the great MS Dhoni?
In the meantime, the loss of Ruturaj Gaikwad will surely hurt the Yellow Army. Though the batter has been having a subpar season according to his standards, nonetheless, the side will be without a key batter and will be eyeing a suitable replacement. Gaikwad has managed to score just 122 runs in 5 games that he has played thus far.
