CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Ambati Rayudu has stirred controversy by suggesting that the overwhelming MS Dhoni craze might be unintentionally harming the team’s internal dynamics. In a recent interview, Rayudu hinted at “a lot of internal issues” within the CSK camp, subtly implying that excessive focus on Dhoni could be affecting the team balance and morale.
While Rayudu did not directly criticize the legendary captain, his comments have sparked intense debate among fans and cricket analysts. He acknowledged Dhoni’s iconic status but questioned whether the fanfare and emotional attachment might be putting undue pressure on other players and the franchise as a whole.
CSK, one of the most successful IPL teams, has always revolved around Dhoni’s leadership. However, with the franchise looking to transition into a new era, such revelations point to the possible challenges of managing legacy while building the future.
Social media is now divided—with many defending Dhoni’s aura and others echoing Rayudu’s concerns about overdependence. As IPL 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on how CSK balances sentiment with strategy, and whether Rayudu’s statements prompt any reflection within the management.
