CSK’s disappointing season in IPL 2025 continued as they suffered their seventh defeat, putting them almost out of playoff contention. The recent loss to SRH marked their second consecutive defeat and fourth straight loss at Chepauk. This defeat also saw SRH secure their first win against CSK at Chepauk in six attempts.
Following the defeat, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming attributed their struggles to the team’s auction strategy from last year. He acknowledged that they haven’t been able to get it right this season and emphasized the importance of reflecting on their performance and style of play. Fleming highlighted the challenges of the auction process, noting that it is not a perfect science and can be exhausting.
Fleming also addressed the lack of consistency in the batting lineup and the impact of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury. He took responsibility for the team’s shortcomings and expressed the need for soul-searching and improvement.
Looking ahead, CSK will face PBKS in their next fixture, hoping for a turnaround in their fortunes. Fleming remains optimistic about the team’s potential and believes they are not far away from finding success despite the challenges they have faced.
