Sidhu’s remark came on air as Chennai struggled to chase down 184 runs, falling short by 25 runs. During the 14th over, when Dhoni had a free-hit opportunity, Sidhu criticized his slow innings and commented that Dhoni needed to hit a six to keep Chennai in the game.

Despite Dhoni’s efforts, CSK suffered their third consecutive defeat.
Overall, Sidhu’s blunt commentary on Dhoni’s performance and CSK’s struggles highlighted the team’s challenges in the match against Delhi Capitals. Dhoni’s inability to accelerate the innings and the team’s overall performance raised concerns among fans and cricket pundits.
