The 5 -time champion team Chennai Super Kings have been performing very simple in IPL 2025. She has lost 4 consecutive matches. On April 11, under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, he suffered an embarrassing defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Since then, a post of Dale Stan is going viral, in which he said that some players are not worth IPL. They should not be in this league. It is being claimed that Stan has targeted Dhoni including some players of Chennai Super Kings through this. But what is its truth? Let us tell you.
Did Stan target CSK and Dhoni?
Actually, the viral post of Dale Stan is on April 11. He had said these things before Chennai and Kolkata. Apart from this, he has not written the name of any team or player in his post. However, after losing to Kolkata, fans are looking at it by linking it to Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni. Because CSK batsmen and bowlers have flopped completely this season. On one hand, other teams have done stormy batting in the powerplay. At the same time, Chennai has made a slow start and he failed to score big.
Theres some guys that really should be at this league.

Apart from Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dubey in the middle order, Dhoni also failed to leave his mark in the end. Dhoni has not been able to finish any match win for his team as before. Apart from this, the bowling of the team has been simple through veteran bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin. This is the reason why fans are connecting Stan’s post to CSK. However, there were some fans who took the names of other players like Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma running flops this season.
CSK difficult to go to playoffs
In the IPL 2025 points table, CSK’s team is currently at number 9 with 1 win and 2 points in 6 matches. His net run rate is minus 1.554. However, she has not been out of the playoff race even after this poor performance. But reaching the playoffs is not going to be less than any charisma for CSK. Let me tell you, all the teams play 14-14 matches in the IPL league stage, so CSK still has 8 matches left.
If the team performs well in these remaining matches, then only one can return in the season. In the earlier season, it has been seen that on an average 7 or 8 matches winning teams qualify for the playoffs. Accordingly, Chennai will have to win at least 6 or 7 matches in the remaining 8 matches. Therefore, it seems difficult to go to the playoffs.
