In the recent IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), CSK’s Rachin Ravindra played a pivotal role, scoring an unbeaten 65 runs and sealing the victory with a six.
However, this decisive action led to unexpected backlash from certain fans who expressed disappointment that Ravindra finished the game instead of allowing MS Dhoni, affectionately known as “Thala,” to deliver the final blow. Comments like “Thala ko chakka kyun nahi maarne diya?” (“Why didn’t you let Thala hit the six?”) surfaced on social media platforms, reflecting some fans’ desire to see Dhoni in the spotlight during the closing moments.
Despite the criticism, many supporters and cricket enthusiasts have come to Ravindra’s defense, emphasizing the importance of team success over individual moments and commending his outstanding performance under pressure. This incident highlights the passionate nature of cricket fandom and underscores the need to celebrate collective achievements in the sport.
