Chennai Super Kings’ captain MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi was all smiles while exiting the Wankhede Stadium following the IPL 2025 game against the Mumbai Indians on April 20, Sunday. Sakshi was also notably seen travelling alongside Dhoni in the team bus as they were travelling back to the hotel.
Dhoni-led Super Kings crashed to their sixth defeat of the season, giving their playoff hopes a massive dent. Put into bat first, half-centuries from Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja propelled the Yellow Army to what seemed like a competitive total of 176/5. However, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were unstoppable on the night, plundering 11 sixes in their unbeaten half-centuries. As a result, the home side coasted through to a nine-wicket victory only in 15.4 overs.

“What will be important for us is to get the right combination for next year” – MS Dhoni
At the post-game presentation, Dhoni admitted that the Super Kings are now on thin ice and must win every game moving forward. At the same time, the 43-year-old stressed the need to get their combination right for next year if they don’t qualify for the playoffs this year.
“With all the games in front of us that we are supposed to win, we will just take it one game at a time. And if we lose a few, what will be important for us is to get the right combination for next year. We don’t want too many players getting changed. So I think what will be important is to try and qualify. But if not, get a secured eleven for the next year and come back strong.”
