IPL 2025 mein Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ke liye cheezien kuch bhi smooth nahi chal rahi hain. Ruturaj Gaikwad ki injury ke baad MS Dhoni ne CSK ki captaincy sambhali thi, lekin phir bhi team ko Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke saamne ek bhari har ka samna karna pada. Yeh har itni devastating thi ki sawalon ka silsila shuru ho gaya. MS Dhoni ke purane teammate, Manoj Tiwary, ne bhi apni chinta vyakt ki aur unhone pucha ki kya inki dimaag ki taakat khatam ho gayi hai?
‘Kyun nahi jaldi drawing board par wapas jaate? Mujhe lagta hai ki har haar ke baad aapko reassess karna zaroori hai. Lekin kuch cheezein jo ho rahi hain, woh samajh mein nahi aa rahi. Jaise aaj Ashwin ne left-handers ke khilaaf round the stumps bola, lekin aaj woh over the stumps bowling kar rahe the. Isse Sunil Narine ke liye aasaan ho gaya. Yeh chhoti chhoti baatein… Jab aapke paas itne experienced player aur wicketkeeper MS Dhoni ho, toh kya unke dimaag kaam karna band kar gaya?’
Sunil Narine ne apni batting mein 18 balls par 44 runs banaye, 5 sixes aur 2 fours ke saath. Tiwary ne shot selection par bhi sawal uthaye aur yeh bhi pucha ki Noor Ahmad ko 8th over mein kyu introduce kiya gaya? Yeh bhi kehna tha:
‘Aaj se CSK ki gaadi neeche jaayegi. Yeh laga tha pichle 3-4 matches se. Players ka shot selection dekh ke aap samajh sakte ho, jab aap 20-25 saal khel chuke ho toh aapko pata chal jaata hai. Mujhe kuch cheezein samajh nahi aayi. Aapka Purple Cap winner Noor Ahmad hai, toh usko bowl karwane ka time kya tha? 8th over mein. Aur pehle hi ball par usne Sunil Narine ka wicket le liya.’
Tiwary ne yeh bhi kaha:
‘Cricket sense yeh kehta hai ki jab opposition spinners achha kar rahe ho, toh aapke paas Purple Cap winner hai, toh usko jaldi kyun nahi laaya? Aam taur par MS Dhoni aise mistakes nahi karte. Maine bahut saal tak unhe dekha hai, lekin aaj yeh galti kyun hui, yeh jaana jaana chahiye.’
CSK ke liye yeh season ab tak kaafi challenging raha hai. MS Dhoni ne no. 9 par batting ki aur bas ek single-digit score bana kar Narine ke haath out ho gaye. CSK ka total 103/9 par ruk gaya, jo Chepauk mein unka sabse kam total tha. Yeh unki paanchvi consecutive defeat thi, jo pehli baar ek season mein hui. Ab unka playoff mein jaana kaafi mushkil lag raha hai. Lekin unhe ek aur moka milega apne next match mein, jab woh 14 April ko Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) se takraayenge.
