He also pointed out that it's rare for teams to score 20 runs per over at the end of a match. Although Dhoni has done it a few times in the IPL, that was in the past, as Sehwag noted there is no fresh memory of the legendary wicketkeeper finishing the game for CSK in the recent seasons.
Virender Sehwag says MS Dhoni's finishing touch vanishing
I remember Dhoni pulled off a heist when he hit 24 or 25 runs off the bowling of Axar Patel, and on one instance, he smashed Irfan Pathan for 19 or 20 runs in Dharamsala. You can just remember one or two matches on top of your mind. No recent matches come to your memory. For five years, CSK has been unable to chase totals of more than 180.”

This time, CSK made some adjustments, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a loss. With back-to-back defeats, the Chennai franchise has now slipped to the seventh spot in the IPL 2025 points table. They will next face Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 5.
