Chennai Super Kings faced another setback on Tuesday with their 10th defeat of the season, matching their record from 2022. They were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals and will play their final game against the Gujarat Titans on May 25. Captain MS Dhoni admitted that the team is already focusing on the next season, using the remaining games to determine their best combination and prepare for the auction. Aakash Chopra suggested that CSK should trade Ravindra Jadeja and look for a more impactful batter in the upcoming mini-auction for the 2026 season. He also recommended releasing Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra. Jadeja has struggled this season with only 280 runs and eight wickets in 13 matches. Chopra emphasized the importance of finding a strong top-order overseas batter to support Dewald Brevis. Overall, CSK’s performance this season has raised questions about their strategy and player selection for the future.
