The performance of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has not been special and has lost three out of 4 matches. Chennai Super Kings lost by 25 runs against Delhi Capitals (DC). In this match, the magic of former Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not work. Dhoni failed to score fast. Dhoni scored 30 runs from 26 balls in this match, after which questions are being raised on his role in his team.
Now former Team India cricketer Manoj Tiwari has criticized Dhoni. Manoj Tiwari believes that Dhoni should have retired only after winning the IPL title in 2023. Tiwari said that Dhoni is gradually losing the honor of fans. Dhoni has scored 76 runs in 4 matches so far in IPL 2025 and he was dismissed once.
Manoj Tiwari said to Cricbuj, ‘I think the right time for him to retire was 2023, when he won the IPL Trophy. They should have retired then. Somewhere I understand that the way he has been playing in the last two years, whatever fame, name and honor he had earned from cricket, it is ending.
Manoj Tiwari further said, ‘Fans are not able to see him playing in this way and the glow is ending in them. The trust he has created among fans in the last few years- especially in the hearts of Chennai fans, is now decreasing. After the last match, the way fans took to the streets and gave interviews against them, this indication should be given.
Tiwari also criticized flaming
Manoj Tiwari also criticized the statement of Stephen Fleming, Head Coach of Chennai Super Kings, in which he said that Dhoni cannot bat more than 10 overs. The former cricketer feels that these decisions are not being taken in the interest of the team. Tiwari said that someone should come forward and ask the team management to stop such experiments.
Manoj Tiwari says, ‘He (Dhoni) is still trying and even Stephen Fleming said that he cannot run more than 10 overs. But I do not understand that if you can field for 20 overs, run-out, then there will be no pain in your knees. But when the team needs you to win, do you just talk about playing 10 overs? ‘
Manoj Tiwari said, ‘The decisions being taken in my view are not in the interest of the team. I think a tough decision needs to be taken and someone should clarify it. If it is not happening anymore, then it is fine, let them go.
Manoj Tiwari took part in 12 ODIs and three T20 matches for India. In the ODI International, Tiwari scored 287 runs from 26.09 average, including a century and a half -century. Tiwari scored his only century (104*) against the West Indies. In ODI International, Tiwari also took five wickets. Manoj Tiwari has 15 runs in T20 International.
