“The question was about SRH, not Dhoni or CSK” - Virender Sehwag’s brutal reply to former India teammate during IPL 2025 show

Former India opening batter Virender Sehwag issued a brutal response to Amit Mishra, who began talking about Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and MS Dhoni, during a post-match discussion after Mumbai Indians' (MI) win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The former spinner got sidetracked to CSK's season prospects when asked about the Orange Army's chances of qualifying for the playoffs. SRH compiled yet another disappointing performance at home as MI completed the double over them in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Pat Cummins were reduced to 35-5 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, and could only finish with 143-8. MI chased down the total with relative ease, on the back of Rohit Sharma's second consecutive fifty in the campaign. The crushing seven-wicket loss sends SRH to the ninth spot in the points table.



Only CSK , with a marginally inferior net run-rate of -1.392, lies below them in the bottom place. Amit Mishra mixed up the two struggling franchises when he opined that Dhoni needs to come up in the batting order for SRH to remain in contention for the knockouts.

Upon hearing Mishra's comments, Sehwag reminded that the question was about SRH's playoffs prospects, with nothing to do with either MS Dhoni or CSK. Upon realising his mistake, Mishra apologised to the presenter, before Sehwag mentioned that it is all because of "Dhoni's Aura". Both CSK and SRH are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs race after winning just two out of eight matches in IPL 2025.

They are coming across as deflated units, more so after a recent drubbing at the hands of the Mumbai Indians (MI). SRH will face CSK at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, April 25. The Orange Army have won only two matches out of the last eight at the venue against CSK.

It was also the stadium where SRH lost the 2024 IPL final to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Gokul Nair . Get real-time updates on IPL 2025 , live scores, IPL Prediction , match schedule , points table , Result & squad - CSK , MI , RCB , KKR , SRH , LSG , DC , GT , PBKS Quick Links.
