IPL 2025: CSK's Vansh Bedi Caught Napping In Dugout During Loss Against Delhi Capitals; Pic

Chennai Super Kings suffered defeat after losing to the Delhi Capitals by 25 runs on Saturday, April 5. This defeat marked their second straight loss at home, leaving CSK in ninth spot on the points table. With only one win from their first four matches, their season is already in jeopardy.

However, the most talked-about moment of the game came not from the action on the field but from a rather unexpected sight in the CSK dugout. A picture is going viral on social media where CSK player Vansh Bedi was caught on camera dozing off while the team was battling to get back into the game. Sitting next to Ravindra Jadeja, the young talent appeared to be fast asleep as veteran players like Devon Conway and Vijay Shankar fought to rebuild the innings.

Bedi, who had impressed the CSK management with his performances in the Delhi Premier League last year, was picked up for ₹55 lakhs at the mega auction. However, his nap in such a crucial moment of the match has raised eyebrows.

KL Rahul returns to form against CSK

The match saw KL Rahul lead Delhi’s charge with an impressive 77 off 51 balls, including six boundaries and three sixes, guiding his side to a total of 183/6. In response, Chennai's batting woes continued, with the top order crumbling for just 46 runs in the powerplay the lowest they’ve managed this season. Despite a valiant effort from the middle order, CSK scored only 158 runs in their allotted 20 overs. The DC bowlers, particularly Mitchell Starc and Vipraj Nigam, played a key role in restricting CSK's scoring opportunities.
