Dhoni’s DRS Drama: Anshul Kamboj Sparks Turning Point in CSK’s IPL 2025 Campaign
In what’s now being dubbed as a classic “Dhoni moment,” the IPL 2025 saw the iconic "Dhoni Review System" spring back to life — and at the center of it all was young pacer Anshul Kamboj. The moment unfolded during a high-pressure clash between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, a must-win game for the former. CSK, struggling at the bottom of the table, needed something — or someone — to lift their spirits. And that spark came from an unexpected source.
It was the last ball of the fourth over. Nicholas Pooran, LSG’s danger man and current Orange Cap holder, had just settled in at the crease. On the other end, Anshul Kamboj — fired up, focused, and clearly with a point to prove — steamed in and bowled a delivery that thudded into Pooran’s pads. The appeal was loud and long, but the umpire remained unmoved. Kamboj turned immediately to MS Dhoni, his skipper, and you could almost hear the silent plea in his eyes: “Skipper, back me on this.”

Dhoni, ever the calm figure, took a beat. He smiled. And then, almost like a gesture of trust more than certainty, he went for the review.
And just like that, the magic of DRS — or in this case, the Dhoni Review System — was back. Replays confirmed what Kamboj felt in his bones: the ball was crashing into the stumps. Pooran was out for 8, and CSK had just pulled off a massive breakthrough.
The reaction was instant. The crowd roared, Twitter lit up, and fans celebrated not just the dismissal, but the story behind it — a young bowler showing belief, and a seasoned legend backing his teammate. It wasn’t just a review; it was a powerful moment of trust and teamwork.
Kamboj’s role in this moment has now made him a name to remember. For a pacer still making his mark, getting a game-changing wicket with Dhoni’s nod of approval is nothing short of career-defining. And for Dhoni, it was yet another chapter in a legacy filled with game-turning instincts and unshakable presence under pressure.
Whether this becomes a turning point in CSK’s campaign remains to be seen. But on this day, in this moment, Anshul Kamboj showed the world that sometimes, belief backed by leadership can change the course of a game — and maybe even a season.
