The Chennai Super Kings social media team never misses a moment, and tonight was no different. After MS Dhoni’s lightning-fast stumping of RCB opener Philip Salt in the IPL 2025 clash at Chepauk, CSK’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a hilarious meme GIF — and it has the internet buzzing.
The post read, “Salt thevaiyaana alavu!” (which roughly translates from Tamil to “Just the right amount of Salt”), paired with the iconic ‘Salt Bae’ GIF — a man dramatically sprinkling salt from his hand. The visual pun couldn’t have been sharper, as the stumping sent Salt back to the pavilion after a breezy 32 off 16 balls.

Dhoni’s stumping was pure vintage — quick hands, perfect timing, and just enough doubt for the third umpire to give it a look. The verdict: OUT, and CSK’s social media team wasted no time in rubbing it in with a subtle, spicy jab.
Fans loved the meme drop. Comments like “CSK admin is undefeated,” and “This is salt to the wound—literally!” filled the replies. Some even praised the timing of both Dhoni behind the stumps and the social media admin online.
With this cheeky post, CSK once again proved that their social game is as strong as their on-field play.
