Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star player and stand-in captain for this season, MS Dhoni, feels his team still can pull themselves from this position after suffering a historic low in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ipl-2025" rel="dofollow">IPL 2025</a>.

Dhoni urged the team to &lsquo;look deep inside&rsquo; after being crushed by KKR, which completed the run chase with almost ten overs remaining.
&ldquo;I think it's quite a few nights haven't gone our way. What is important is to look deep down inside. I feel the challenge was there, but it's important to accept that challenge, figure out ways how you'll tackle the difficult deliveries and then look to get runs on the board. Today, I felt we didn't really have enough runs on the board,&rdquo; Dhoni said after the game.

"Yes, it did [stop], but it has been the case over here," Dhoni said about the conditions.&nbsp;
"Whenever we bowled first, even in the second innings, it stopped a bit. But today, in the first innings, also it was stopping. But also, if you lose too many wickets, it looks very different because it puts pressure on the batsman who is going in and with quality spinners, it becomes slightly difficult, and we never really got any kind of partnerships going.&nbsp;

<h2>&lsquo;No need to match someone&rsquo;</h2>
Unlike every other team this season, CSK has failed to score runs inside the Powerplay, with the results there for everyone to see. Addressing this issue, Dhoni said his team has some of the best openers and batters (lower down the order), but failing to apply themselves better has cost them.&nbsp;
Dhoni added that they are not playing to match anyone else; instead, they want to read the conditions better in the games to come and make the most of it.
&ldquo;What is important is our openers are good, and they just need to back themselves and play authentic cricket shots. They're not the ones who will start slogging or look to hit across the line. But what is also important is not to get desperate seeing the scoreboard,&rdquo; Dhoni added.

<h2>KKR&rsquo;s statement wins</h2>
Up against an attacking batting pair of Narine and Quinton de Kock, CSK&rsquo;s new ball bowlers failed to leave any impact, conceding fours and sixes for fun. The pair added 46 runs for the first wicket before Anshul Kamboj broke the stand by removing de Kock clean bowled on 23.&nbsp;
Standing at the other end, Narine mocked CSK&rsquo;s bowling attack, hitting boundaries to all parts of the ground. His quick-fire 44 off 18 balls, including five sixes and two fours, saw KKR reach touching distance of the target, as team captain Ajinkya Rahane and Rinku Singh completed the formalities inside 11 overs.
With this win, KKR returned to the top three on the points table, securing three wins from six contested matches thus far this season.&nbsp;

KKR’s statement wins Up against an attacking batting pair of Narine and Quinton de Kock, CSK’s new ball bowlers failed to leave any impact, conceding fours and sixes for fun. The pair added 46 runs for the first wicket before Anshul Kamboj broke the stand by removing de Kock clean bowled on 23. Standing at the other end, Narine mocked CSK’s bowling attack, hitting boundaries to all parts of the ground. His quick-fire 44 off 18 balls, including five sixes and two fours, saw KKR reach touching distance of the target, as team captain Ajinkya Rahane and Rinku Singh completed the formalities inside 11 overs. With this win, KKR returned to the top three on the points table, securing three wins from six contested matches thus far this season.

IPL 2025: MS Dhoni’s CSK fall flat after Narine’s all-round show steers KKR home

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ms-dhoni" rel="dofollow">MS Dhoni</a> returned as CSK captain for the home game against <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/kolkata-knight-riders" rel="dofollow">Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)</a> on Friday in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ipl-2025" rel="dofollow">IPL 2025</a>, but it wasn&rsquo;t the happiest of times at the crease for him, as he departed cheaply to his old foe Sunil Narine. Walking out to bat after the fall of the seventh wicket inside the 15th over with CSK reeling at 72 for seven, Dhoni faced just three balls before Narine bowled his classic off-spin to trap him in front of the wickets for just one.
For the nth time this season, the crowd went bonkers watching its favourite cricketer come out to bat, only to watch him walk back within one over. The joy was short-lived for the fans and more so for Dhoni, who was looking ready to battle out the spin threat at Chepauk.

"We have full faith in NDA winning Tamil Nadu. We will fight the election under the leadership of Palaniswami, and then form a coalition government," said Amit Shah at an NDA press meet in Chennai. With at least 11 months to go for the Assembly polls, smaller parties are gradually expected to join hands with this alliance.&nbsp;
After having fought and lost the 2021 Tamil Nadu assembly polls under the NDA alliance, both AIADMK and BJP went their separate ways and fought the 2024 parliamentary polls alone. In 2021, the DMK under MK Stalin came to power, defeating the incumbent AIADMK. Outperforming the 2021 state poll results, DMK and its allies secured all seats in Tamil Nadu in the 2024 parliamentary elections. The then estranged allies have now joined hands to take on the incumbent DMK-led combine.
Attacking the DMK, Home Minister Amit Shah referred to the deteriorating law and order situation in Tamil Nadu and the ill-treatment of women and Dalits (backward communities).&nbsp;
He also alleged there were a plethora of scams under the DMK government. "Chief Minister Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi have to be accountable and must answer the people of Tamil Nadu, regarding the various scams in their tenure. It includes liquor scam, energy sector scam, ELCOT scam, sand mining scam, transport scam, money laundering scam, free dhoti scam, nutrition kit scam, cash-for-jobs scam," he said.&nbsp;

<h2>It&rsquo;s time to win</h2>
Dhoni understands the position CSK is in on the points table, having lost four matches thus far. For them to stay in contention for a playoff berth, CSK must return to winning ways, and Dhoni knows what it takes to get there.
&ldquo;It is important now, every game is important. We have lost too many matches, and now it is important to do the basics right - have dot balls, take our catches. A couple of games we lost by big margins, but otherwise, it was about the small things - about one over going for 20 runs. Our batters are more authentic as batters, they won't slog everything. They just need to back their instincts. It is important to start well, get boundaries early on and try to get a couple of early wickets as well,&rdquo; he said.

He added that Indian officials are in continuous talks with their US counterparts for a trade pact.

Bengaluru city court finds mother guilty of murdering her only daughter after she lied about her exam results. 59-year-old Bhimaneni Padmini Rani stabbed her 17-year-old daughter (Sahiti) with kitchen knives as the minor falsely claimed she secured 95%. With lifetime imprisonment, the court imposed a fine of $580.

Public Prosecutor Bhaskar, while speaking to news outlet Times Of India, said, "Sahiti lied to her mother, saying she scored 95% in her II PU final exams. But on April 28, Sahiti told Rani that she had failed in one subject. Sahiti also blamed her mother for the failure, saying she never supported her. An upset Rani called Sahiti's close friend, who revealed that the girl had actually failed in four subjects. A furious Rani questioned Sahiti about the reason behind her poor performance. Sahiti replied in a rude manner."
The mother said she was extremely attached to her daughter. In her statement to the police, she said, "Sahiti was born 16 years after our marriage. My attachment to her grew more after my husband's demise in 2020. But she did not show the same affection. I underwent knee replacement surgery, and at that time, she never treated me with care or love. Still, believing that she would change in the future, I loved her."

She added, "I had boasted to my brothers and other relatives that Sahiti scored 95% and was all set to fly abroad for higher studies. If they come to know the reality, I would have to face humiliation. So, I decided that it is better to die."
As mentioned in the chargesheet, she attacked her daughter with a small knife. "But it bent. I went back to the kitchen, collected two more knives, including the one used to cut chicken. Using them, I stabbed her all over the body. Then, I tried to end life by cutting my hand. I stabbed my hand, and it hurt. That's when I called staff from my husband's office. They shifted me to the hospital."

But on April 28, Sahiti told Rani that she had failed in one subject. Sahiti also blamed her mother for the failure, saying she never supported her. An upset Rani called Sahiti's close friend, who revealed that the girl had actually failed in four subjects. A furious Rani questioned Sahiti about the reason behind her poor performance. Sahiti replied in a rude manner." The mother said she was extremely attached to her daughter. In her statement to the police, she said, "Sahiti was born 16 years after our marriage. My attachment to her grew more after my husband's demise in 2020. But she did not show the same affection. I underwent knee replacement surgery, and at that time, she never treated me with care or love. Still, believing that she would change in the future, I loved her."

If they come to know the reality, I would have to face humiliation. So, I decided that it is better to die." As mentioned in the chargesheet, she attacked her daughter with a small knife. "But it bent. I went back to the kitchen, collected two more knives, including the one used to cut chicken. Using them, I stabbed her all over the body. Then, I tried to end life by cutting my hand. I stabbed my hand, and it hurt. That's when I called staff from my husband's office. They shifted me to the hospital." The mother had planned to kill her daughter and then end her life to avoid humiliation from extended family.

<h2>Patidar blames batters for RCB loss</h2>
Bengaluru lost their second match thus far this season, and team captain Patidar blamed the batters' failure to read the pitch and the conditions better than their opposition. Batting first, the RCB openers hit 61 runs inside four overs, but the remaining batters could add only 102 more in the remaining 16.1&nbsp;overs.
"I think the way we saw the wicket, it was quite different. We thought it was a nice batting wicket, but we didn't bat well. I don't think so (if the batters were overconfident), every batter was in a good frame of mind, showing proper intent.&nbsp;
"But it wasn't acceptable to go from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4, we have a good batting line-up, but we need to assess the situation. That has been positive, the way Tim David accelerated was amazing, the bowling in the powerplay was special. We aren't thinking about our away record, but we just need to play good cricket and keep it simple," Patidar said after the game," he said after the game.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, RCB sits in third place on the points table with three wins from five contested matches and Delhi, with four wins in as many games, is second only behind Gujarat Titans.

Delhi Capitals' KL Rahul was sensational during his innings of 93 off 53 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday (Apr 10) in Bengaluru. Rahul's innings ensured that DC keep their unbeaten streak on as they won the match by six wickets.
It was, however, Rahul's celebration after winning the match which got everybody's attention. Needing one run to win, Rahul smashed a six in the 18th over to finish the match. He gestured to the pitch after the six and then to himself so to say 'this is his ground' and emulated to hoist the bat in the ground - like a warrior does with his sword after victory over the enemy.
