Navjot Singh Sidhu is known for his humorous and outspoken commentary on cricket in Hindi. His recent controversial remarks during the CSK vs DC match in IPL 2025 are going viral as he went absolutely rogue during the match and called MS Dhoni a “phuss patakha”. This comment has sparked debates among fans and experts, highlighting Sidhu’s brutal and unfiltered commentary style.
The match saw CSK chasing a target of 184 runs, but they eventually failed to win by 25 runs, marking their second consecutive home-ground loss this season. The game-changing moment came in the 14th over when Dhoni faced a free-hit opportunity by Mohit Sharma after the bowler overstepped. With CSK needing an improbable 95 runs off 28 balls, expectations were high for Dhoni to deliver a big hit.
Navjot Singh Sidhu was commentating live, and he said, “There is no contest here. It’s a win-win situation. He has to go for sixes. If he doesn’t go now, then when will he? The required run rate is almost 15 now. Listen to the crowd, everyone is expecting a six. And if you live up to the expectation, then this stadium will explode,”
However, he fell short and failed to make a big hit, earning disappointing reactions from fans and sharp criticism from Sidhu as he said, “Oh…yeh toh phush patakha nikla. Khoda pahad nikli chuhiya,”
Navjot Singh Sidhu’s Remark Sparks Debate
Navjot Singh Sidhu’s remark has been going viral while some criticize his commentary style as too brutal, while some understand his frustration when MS Dhoni failed to chase down the target.
MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the sport, however, his recent performances have raised questions about his ability to maintain the same level of dominance as he once boasted. While his legacy remains intact, moments like these attract doubts and criticism.
Speaking about the incident, CSK coach Stephen Fleming came out in Dhoni’s favour and said, “The intent was there. When he went out, I think the ball started to grip a little bit more. We understood it was going to be good for the first half and then gradually get slower. So, we were keen to bat and then take pace with the ball.”
“They did it really well. Vijay Shankar struggled to get timings all the way through his innings. But that period from 12 to 16 overs was difficult for all. It was tough to watch and certainly tough to be out there. So the game was just slipping away, and even with intent and different methods to do it, it was just too big a scale,” he added.
