Among the gloom, a bright spark emerges—Ayush Mhatre.

The youngster impressed on debut and is now CSK’s most promising batter at the top. His powerplay duel with PBKS’s Arshdeep Singh could shape the entire match.

It’s a clash of potential vs precision. Can Mhatre take the pressure and deliver again? Keep your eyes on this battle!
IPL Live Score: All eyes on MS Dhoni
Even the legendary MS Dhoni can’t reverse CSK’s fortunes this season.

A mid-season return to captaincy after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury hasn’t sparked the turnaround fans hoped for.

With veterans misfiring and young guns under pressure, CSK’s campaign has been riddled with poor selections and missed chances.

Can Dhoni produce one last miracle, or is this the sunset of a glorious era?
