On Wednesday, May 7, the 57th match of IPL 2025 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. This match will be held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. At the same time, speculations are being made that this stadium can paint in the color of MS Dhoni’s yellow jersey, which will probably play on this historic ground for the last time. The five -time champion Chennai team has already been out of the playoff race. But Dhoni’s fire is still intact as before.
Wednesday can be emotional for CSK fans. Eden Gardens has also been a witness to many achievements of Dhoni, including the first century in first -class cricket and two centuries in Test cricket. He has also played club cricket here, including the memorable P Sen Trophy final for the Shambazar Club.
Dhoni’s performance has not been attractive as before but his fans have emotional attachment to him and hence they can reach here in large numbers. Chennai’s team lost to RCB by two runs in the last match. Dhoni scored 12 runs off eight balls in this match but he was dismissed on the third ball of the last over, due to which Chennai’s team did not reach the target. Dhoni took responsibility for the defeat after the match.
However, Chennai now has nothing to lose. But she spoils the work of Kolkata. Because for KKR, this match is done or die because he will have to win the remaining three matches to maintain his playoff hopes. KKR currently has 11 points and will have to win the next three matches after which it will have 17 points. Even after reaching here, the seat will be confirmed in his playoffs cannot be said. Because the result of other teams will also depend a lot and in such a situation the matter may be stuck on the net run rate.
