Chennai Super Kings have been struggling in the ongoing IPL season, with three losses in their first four matches. Issues like team balance, constant changes, and lack of a power hitter in the middle order have put the team under scrutiny. Their batting lineup lacks firepower, as they have failed to chase targets over 180 runs in their last 10 attempts since 2020. This has also raised concerns about the performance of legendary skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has not been able to deliver in crucial run chases. Despite the slump, former cricketers like Ian Bishop, Matthew Hayden, and Shane Watson, who are commentating on IPL 2025, continue to support CSK. Bishop jokingly called them ‘very pro-CSK’ during a banter with Ambati Rayudu. Rayudu humorously accepted the tag. The team will need to address their issues before their upcoming match against Punjab Kings, who have shown a more balanced and aggressive style of play. CSK will be eager to bounce back and revive their campaign.
