Emotions high as Dhoni’s time ticks down
Daily News
|May 07, 2025
WHEN the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens today, the stakes will be vastly different for the two sides — but the spotlight will shine squarely on one man: Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
-
While CSK are out of play-off contention, this could be Dhoni’s final appearance at a venue where his cricketing journey took significant shape. Emotions are expected to run high as Eden Gardens gets drenched in yellow — possibly for the last time.
For KKR, this is a must-win clash. With 11 points from as many matches, they need to win all their remaining games — including tough away encounters against SRH and RCB — to reach 17 points and keep their playoff hopes alive.
