Why R Ashwin’s YouTube channel will not cover Chennai Super Kings games anymore

Ravichandran Ashwin’s YouTube channel will not cover Chennai Super Kings matches anymore during the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. This means that the spinner’s popular YouTube handles will not do any previews of games involving CSK or review the matches afterwards. Ashwin’s main YouTube handle has over 1.6 million subscribers. He also started a new channel called Ash ki Baat, which focuses on Hindi analysis. “Given the nature of the discussions on this forum over the last week, we want to be mindful of how things can be interpreted and have chosen to step away from covering CSK games, both previews and reviews, for the rest of this season. We value the diversity of perspectives that come through on our shows and remain committed to ensuring the conversation stays true to the...

Rajasthan Royals ring more alarm bells for Chennai Super Kings

A romantic ending glimmered in the Guwahati skies. The probability of MS Dhoni turning the clock back and finishing the game with vintage swagger lurked. Needing 20 off the final over, Dhoni in pugnacious mood with 16 from 10 balls, nervous excitement soaked the stadium and the minds of the audience. But in pure anticlimax, he perished in the first legal ball of the over. Despite the strikes of Jamie Overton, Chennai Super Kings fell six runs short of Rajasthan Royals’ score of 182, thus handing out their opponents the first win of the season. Hangman Hasaranga Wanindu Hararanga exudes a monkish calm in the direst of situations. Where lesser-willed men sense danger, he sniffs an opportunity; when the tide seems to turn against him, he merely decides to change the course of the current hims...

‘He should have batted ahead of Ashwin’: Shane Watson on MS Dhoni coming out at No. 9 vs RCB

Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson batted for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to be promoted up the batting order for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This was after CSK suffered a heavy 50-run defeat against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chepauk on Friday with Dhoni coming in to bat at number 9 with Ravichandran Ashwin sent before him. The former CSK captain would play a vintage 16-ball 30 but the match was already out of CSK’s hands by then. “This is exactly what CSK fans come to see — 30 off 16 deliveries from Dhoni. I would have absolutely loved to see him come up the order. In my opinion, he should have batted ahead of Ashwin,” Watson said. “Given the game situation, Dhoni could have played like this for another 15 balls. Over the last couple of years, he has consistently shown tha...

‘Absolute cinema… we forgot about match situation’: R Ashwin reveals what happened when Dhoni walked in to bat vs Mumbai

Ahead of the Chennai Super Kings’ crunch clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday at the Chepauk, CSK bowler Ravichandran Ashwin revealed the scenes in the dressing room from the previous Indian Premier League 2025 game when Mahendra Singh Dhoni had walked in to bat against the Mumbai Indians with the game on the line. Ashwin was padded up and ready to walk into bat if needed after Dhoni. At that stage CSK had needed just four runs to win when Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed after a run out involving Rachin Ravindra. Dhoni walked out to bat in the 19th over to join Rachin Ravindra, leading to an explosion of noise at the Chepauk. “When MS Dhoni came out to bat in Chennai, there was so much noise and chaos that we forgot the situation of the game only. MS Dhoni has earned the...

CSK vs MI: Super Kings return to familiar ploy as trio of tweakers take down Mumbai

Chennai Super Kings’ plan to fall back on the spin formula works as Noor Ahmad’s 4/18 chokes Mumbai Indians on way to 4-wicket winWith Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi in the squad, Chennai had a decision to make regarding their openers. With Tripathi mostly batting at No.3 in the past, it looked Rachin and Ruturaj Gaikwad would be the opening pair. But coming out for the chase of 156, Chennai sprung a surprise, as Tripathi walked out with Rachin – the pair were the preferred choice in the practice matches with Gaikwad dropped to No 3. It was a bold call, for the right-hander is known to get off the blocks slowly. Coming out in the second over after Tripathi’s dismissal, it was Gaikwad who took the limelight with his crisp shots as Rachin struggled with his timing. Sto...

Champions Trophy | ‘Virat Kohli’s engine room is ODI cricket and it could be his second innings’: R Ashwin on batter’s 51st ODI ton

With his 51st ODI hundred against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy match at Dubai on Sunday, Virat Kohli hit his first International hundred since the hundred against Australia in the Perth Test match during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Kohli, who had only amassed 190 runs in nine Test innings in Australia in the Border-Gavaskar trophy, had got out six times to off side deliveries followed by a half-century in three ODI matches against England last month. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared how he did not see those dismissals in red ball cricket as any ‘doubts’ and ODI cricket being Kohli’s engine room. “I never had any doubt about Virat’s quality. When we were playing in Australia, people were criticizing that he was nicking the ball in the slips. People shou...
