Ex India Batting coach, Sanjay Bangar shared his insights on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) hard-fought win against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekhana Cricket Stadium on Monday in the ongoing IPL 2025.
While speaking on JioHotstar, Sanjay Bangar highlighted the importance of this win, stating that those two points hold immense value. He also emphasized how this victory will boost the team’s confidence after five consecutive defeats. Bangar further appreciated MS Dhoni’s leadership qualities, as he guided the team to a successful run chase.
“Not exactly a smooth win because Chennai batters struggled in the middle phase of the innings. But when a team is not winning games, to get back into that winning rhythm, you require such scratchy wins. These are two points of immense value for Chennai Super Kings, and those players will realise what it means to them.” Sanjay Bangar said while speaking on JioHotstar
“Once you lose five games, the kind of energy that gets built up into the entire team–it’s not an easy place to be, but the fact that MS Dhoni still steered that successful chase was critical. In his absence, it could have gone wrong for Chennai Super Kings again. Hopefully, this scratchy win reignites their campaign in a big way.” Sanjay Bangar added
MS Dhoni’s impressive cameo of 26 off 11 deliveries helped CSK, break their losing streak as they secured a convincing five-wicket victory against LSG.
The 57-run partnership between MS Dhoni and Shivam dube played a major role while chasing the target of 167 runs, with three balls remaining. MS Dhoni was also awarded the Player of the Match award for taking two catches, and a run out .
