IPL 2025: MS Dhoni's spot-on DRS judgement continues to amaze fans; social media erupts with reactions
For years, MS Dhoni's judgement for DRS has remained a pivotal point in all the matches, and he continues to prove this right even during IPL 2025. Once again, on Sunday, during the game against the Mumbai Indians, he proved why captains and bowlers trust his word over anything else.
Chennai Super Kings won its first match of the Indian Premier League 2025 against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday, March 23, 2025. The first match but so many iconic moments by MS Dhoni, from the 0.12-second stumping to Dhoni's judgement for DRS, these are some things that fans can't stop talking about.
Dhoni's influence on CSK remains as strong as ever, as last year Ruturaj Gaikwad took charge of the franchise, but Dhoni's presence behind the stumps can't be forgotten, particularly when it comes to the DRS.

MS Dhoni's DRS judgement during CSK vs MI IPL 2025
On Sunday, during the 18th over in the first innings against the Mumbai Indians, when Nathan Ellis struck Mitchell Santner on the pads, Dhoni's quiet nod was all it took for the CSK players to take the review, and his instinct was on the spot as usual.
Santner, trapped on the crease, couldn't adjust in time to the ball from Ellis that skidded low, hitting him on the back pad before he had a chance to react to it.
Netizens react to the 'Dhoni Review System'
After Dhoni's nod, the screen confirmed what he guessed and the ball was crashing into the top of the middle stump, and Mumbai Indians had lost another key wicket at the death. The gesture once again grabbed the eyeballs of his fans, and they flooded the social media with reactions.
One user on X (formerly called Twitter), wrote, "This match has completed IPL for CSK and MS Dhoni fans."
