IPL 2025: MS Dhoni will not play… whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor for the team – Ponting’s big prediction
MS Dhoni (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Australia captain and new head coach of Punjab Kings, Ricky Ponting has told whether Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can adopt its own formula to manage MS Dhoni’s workload management in IPL 2025. He praised the former CSK captain for playing for so long in the Indian Premier League. CSK has retained Dhoni for Rs 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Former India and Chennai captain Dhoni was retained as an uncapped player as he last played an international match five years ago. Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding 43-year-old Dhoni. Ponting says that CSK will not field Mahi in all the matches in IPL 2025. Before IPL 2025, Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni. Ricky Ponting feels that in order to increase Dhoni’s impact in the upcoming season of IPL, he will be given rest sometimes so that the workload can also be managed. Ponting said in the recent episode of ICC Review, “Two seasons ago he probably had his worst season but then he bounced back last year. He made an impact in some matches like the old MS Dhoni. I think it will be the same now. They may not field him the entire season. They can think of keeping him out of the match and giving him rest to ensure his best performance.” Let us tell you that under the leadership of Dhoni, CSK has won five IPL trophies. MS Dhoni had handed over the CSK captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad before IPL 2024. However, the Chennai team was not successful in reaching the playoffs last season. CSK stood fifth in the points table. Ponting said, “Whichever team he is in, whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor and leader for that team. Even if he is playing or sitting outside. His height is so big. Dhoni is important for Chennai as he provides leadership on and off the field.”
IND vs NZ: Play stopped due to spider cam malfunction in Mumbai Test, field umpire had to take an important decision
Currently, the third test match between Team India and New Zealand is being played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. IND vs NZ (Pic Source-X) Currently, the third test match between Team India and New Zealand is being played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The second day of the game has started and Team India has taken the lead in the first innings in this match. However, New Zealand has also made a very good comeback in the match. On the second day of the game, the spider cam suddenly stopped working due to which the umpire had to take the lunch break a little early. In fact, as soon as Ajaz Patel came to bowl the second over of his new spell, the spider cam stopped working. The field umpire decided that the game should be stopped for a while. However, New Zealand players looked at it humorously. When people came to the field to fix the spider cam, Daryl Mitchell was seen having a funny conversation with the umpire. After this the umpire decided to take a lunch break and the players of both the teams went back to their respective dressing rooms. Lunch break was also taken a few minutes earlier and by then the spider cam was also repaired. Here’s the video: pic.twitter.com/2RTloFZVr3 — Pandit Pranoob (@pranoob76889) November 2, 2024 New Zealand, batting first in this match, scored 235 runs after losing all the wickets. From the host side, Ravindra Jadeja bowled lethally and took 5 wickets while Washington Sundar took four wickets. Both these bowlers maintained a lot of pressure on New Zealand. In reply, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and scored 60 runs on behalf of Team India while Shubman Gill played a valuable inning of 90 runs. Shubman Gill will be quite disappointed that he could not score a century in the first innings of the third Test. Apart from these two players, Yashasvi Jaiswal played an inning of 30 runs. Ravindra Jadeja failed to do wonders with the bat and was out after scoring 14 runs. Team India is in a very good position at the moment.

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill tried to build a partnership, but Jaiswal was out after scoring 30 runs. After Yashasvi’s dismissal, Mohammed Siraj was sent as night-watchman, but he became the victim of Ajaz Patel on the very first ball. Soon after this, star batsman Virat Kohli was also run out. He lost his wicket in the pursuit of a quick single. By the end of the day’s play, India had scored 86 runs losing 4 wickets and were trailing by 149 runs. Taking a wicket for India in Test, it is always special – Ravindra Jadeja After the end of the game, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said that the last 15 minutes of the day did not go in the team’s favor and wrong decisions put the host team in a difficult situation. However, he expects other players to build small partnerships and take the lead in the first innings. Jadeja said, “As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. Didn’t think like this, miscommunication and misjudgment keep happening. We are 150 runs behind, small partnerships will be our game plan to take the team’s total above 230. He further said that it is always special to get a wicket for India in Tests. Felt good that I helped my team achieve success. It was not easy bowling in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their part.

I am very desperate to play international matches. I know what happens in team meetings when someone returns to the team. There is light banter and I am very excited about those things too. Whenever I get a chance, I will play with all my might.” The wicketkeeper further said, “I have matured a lot in the last few months. The way I look at this game now, my perception is very different from before. The laughter and jokes will continue. But now I know where to stop so that it doesn’t hinder my game. I am now moving forward with a more mature mindset and the break has taught me a lot about this. “I am having the best time of my life.” 26-year-old Ishaan is part of the India A squad for the Australia tour. He recently caught the attention of BCCI by playing some excellent innings in Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy.

“He should play domestic cricket” – DK gave important advice to Virat who was struggling with poor form.
Dinesh Karthik And Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has not been able to give his best performance in the longest format of the game for some time. His last Test century came in 2023. In the last five years, he has scored only two centuries, which is very low by his standards. After India lost its first Test series on home soil against New Zealand last week, 35-year-old Virat’s performance has also come under question. Seeing this disappointing performance of Virat Kohli, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik has advised him to play domestic cricket. Karthik believes that Kohli is a player who likes challenge. Now in the Test series against New Zealand, he is seen struggling to score runs against the spinners. However, Karthik is confident that Virat will soon give a befitting reply to his critics. Dinesh Karthik gave important advice to Virat Kohli to get back in form. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “It has not been easy for Virat Kohli, this series has not been good for him, he has disappointed in three out of four innings. This is obviously a match where the spinners have troubled him, and I think he’ll figure out what he needs to do to get stronger. He is a man who is searching for answers. When you reach that level of talent and super stardom, you are given challenges and here is another challenge. India like to play on spin-friendly pitches, what is their gameplan?” He further said, “We all know what he is capable of, but this series was not for him. As fans are saying, he hasn’t done this in a long time and we can’t run away from it. We don’t want to hide it because we want to be objective in assessing any player, his performance. At present, Virat Kohli’s Test record in the last 2-3 years has not been good against spin.
IND vs NZ: Jadeja and Ashwin are allowed to play badly: Rohit Sharma

The spinners of both the teams bowled very well on the Pune pitch. For New Zealand, Mitchell Santner took 13 wickets, Ravichandran Ashwin took 5 wickets while Jadeja took three wickets. After the end of the second test, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma made a big statement about these two bowlers. According to The Daily Star, after the second test, Rohit Sharma said, ‘There are a lot of expectations from these two players. In every match that these players play, it is expected from them that they take wickets and play an important role in helping their team win the match. I don’t think this is correct. It is the responsibility of all of us players to make our team win the test. It is not just about two players. We all know that both these players have always performed very well in all formats but now the other players will also have to fulfill their responsibilities well. Both these players have played a lot of cricket and have also played an important role in the team’s victory: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Both these players have played a lot of cricket and the performance of both these players was of high level in the 18 consecutive series we won at home. Sometimes a player is allowed to play poorly. It will not happen every time that a player is performing well for your team. The third and final Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Even though Team India has not been able to register victory in the first two tests, they would like to perform brilliantly in the last match. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja would also like to leave their mark in the Wankhede Test.
