Friday ki raat IPL 2025 mein Chennai Super Kings ka match royal Challengers Bengaluru ke against tha. CSK ko 197 ka bada target chase karna tha, lekin 13th over tak Shivam Dube out hog aye aur lagne laga ki match haath se nikal chuka hai. pehle agar aisi situation hoti aur Dhoni abhi batting karne baaki hote, toh CSK ke fans ko ab bhi Umeed hoti ki who 15-16 runs ar over bhi chase kar lenge.
Magar us waqt crease par Ravindra Jadeja the aur CSK ko 7.1 overs mein 117 runs chahiye th. Dube ke out hote hi poora stadium exect kar raha tha ki Dhoni batting karne aayenge. Broadcaster bh ads pe jaane se pehle ruk gaye, lekinyeh moment tab nahi aaya. Dhoni ki jagah R Ashwin aaye! Yeh dekhkar fans aur commentators bhi shock mein the.
Ashwin ache batter hain, lekin jab required rate 15 se zyada ho chuka ho, toh Dhoni se better option aur kaun hota? CSK ko ppichle saal NRR ke wajah se playoffs miss karna pada tha, phir bhi unhone yeh decision liye? Yeh samajh se bahar tha.
CSK ka early surrender
Ashwinaur Jadeja ki batting dheemi rahi. Lag hi nahi raha tha ki CSK chase karne ke mood mein hai. 3.3 overs mein sirf 19 runs aaye. RCB ke players ehle kabhi CSK ke against itne relaxed nahi dikhe the.
Ashwin 16th over mein out hog aye jab unhone long on boundary clear karne ki koshish ki. Cheauk ka pitch slow tha aur RCB ke bowlers ko maarna asaan nahi tha.
Chepauk ka roar – magar kyon?
Jaise hi Ashwin out hue, Chepauk ka crowd zor se cheer karne laga. Yeh sunkar samajhna mushkil ho gaya ki yeh CSK ke fans hai ya RCB ke! Magar asli wajah yeh thi ki Dhoni finally batting karne aa rahe the.
Haan, Dhoni jitni popularity kisi aur layer ko nahi milti. Lekin jab team match haar rahi ho, tab sirf unke aane pe itni celebration karan ajeeb laga. Sabse bada sawal agar Dhoni itne aaram se last over mein Krunal Pandya ko do chhake maar sakte the, toh 14th over mein kyn nahi aaye? Agar woh tab aate, toh RCB ka young captain Rajat Patidar pressure mein aa sakta tha.
Virender Sehwag ne bh chhoti si taang kheech di, “Dhoni jaldi batting karne aa gaye.”
Manoj Tiwary ne kaha, “CSK ke coaches mein himmat nahi hai ki who Dhoni ko upar batting karne bolein.”
Sirf Dhoni ke Sixes ka wait karna sahih ai kya?
Dhoni ne apna role set kar liya hai bas aakhri ke 2-3 overs mein batting karni hai. Unka training bhi isi tarah design hai. Lekin agar team ko jaldi runs chahiye, toh kya unhe flexible nahi hona chahiye? Sirf Chepauk ke cheers se CSK playoffs tak nahi pahunch sakti field pe performance bhi dikhani padegi.
Jab Dhoni ne Krunal ki do sixes maare, tab Danny Morrison ne mazak mein kaha, “Ab fans khush ho ke ghar ja sakte hain”
Lekin sach yeh hai ki CSK ke fans sirf team ka jeetna nahi, bas Dhoni ka batting dekhna chahte hain. Kya CSK ka fandom ab sirf Dhoni ke shots pe depend ho gaya hai?
CSK ya Dhoni – Asli support kisko?
Yeh trend sirf aaj ka nahi hai. Pichle kuch saalon se jab se Dhoni ke retairement k discussion chalu hua hai, tab se Chepauk ka mahaul aisa hi ahi. CSK ke ex layer Ambati Rayudu ne bhi yeh baat boli thi ki CSK ka yeh culture doosre players ke liye fair nahi hai.
“Bahut players isse uncomfortable karte hain. Hum sab Dhoni ko pasand karte hain, lekin jab fans doosre players se sirf out hone ki Umeed rakhte hain, toh yeh ajeeb lagta hai, “ Rayudu ne kaha.
CSK ek nique team hai jo weekdays pe bhi stadium full kar sakti hai. Lekin bada sawaal yeh hai kya log CSK ke fans hai, ya sirf Dhoni ke? Kya Chepauk ka ‘Knowledgeable crowd’ sirf vibes ke liye match dekh raha hai, ya cricket bhi important hai? Yeh sochne ki zaroorat hai!
