Following CSK’s victory over LSG, Srikkanth made a playful jab at Vijay Shankar by saying, “Yes, please bring some refreshments for the other players.”

Former Indian cricket player Krishnamachari Srikkanth congratulated CSK captain MS Dhoni on social media after the victory. The renowned opener dubbed the victory a team resurrection in his tweet, praising the wicketkeeper’s effort, leadership, and poise. It was especially noteworthy because it occurred on Tamil New Year.

During the current 2025 IPL season, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have not been playing at their best. But on April 14 in Lucknow, the men in yellow achieved a much-needed win over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

“CSK’s victory is fantastic! Dhoni demonstrates once more why he is known as Thala—not just for his exploits, but also for the cool, collected manner in which he commanded his team. This is more than just a win. It seems as though a resurrection is about to commence. ”

The Tamil New Year roar is back!” Srikkanth declared on X.

One fan replied to the post by asking if Vijay Shankar, a cricket player from Tamil Nadu, should be included in the CSK team. Known for his witty remarks, Srikkanth cheekily responded that the team needs Vijay Shankar to deliver refreshments for the other players. The remark went viral really fast, generating a lot of responses on social media.

Although some people thought the comment was funny, it also brought attention to the mounting disapproval of the 34-year-old’s performance. The all-rounder only scored seven runs in the game against LSG. Only one half-century has been scored by the right-handed batter in five IPL 2025 games, and it was in a losing effort.

There are rising requests for CSK to reevaluate his place in the playing XI due to mounting pressure from cricket experts and fans. All eyes will be on CSK’s strategy and team selection as they prepare for their high-stakes matchup against long-time rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 20 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
