Especially two matches of IPL 2025 have made him the biggest villain. The first match was against RCB, in which Dhoni scored 30 runs in 16 balls. The Chennai team had to chase a big goal, so Dhoni came to bat on the ninth order. Dhoni and CSK were also trolled because Ravichandran Ashwin was sent to bat above them. As a result, CSK lost by 50 runs in that match.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Dhoni had to be trolled due to a very slow innings. Dhoni came to bat in the 11th over in the match against Delhi, Vijay Shankar was set at the crease at the other end. On one hand, Shankar scored 69 runs playing at a strike rate of only 128. At the same time, Dhoni scored 30 runs with a slow strike of 115. The target of 184 runs in front was, yet Dhoni’s fast batting became a big reason for CSK’s defeat.
