Cheteshwar Pujara and Ian Bishop highlighted Chennai Super Kings’ vulnerability in their recent match against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025. The former champions fell short by six runs in the chase of 183, raising questions about their approach to the game. Bishop criticized Chennai’s reluctance to go hard earlier in the chase, suggesting that they should have pressed on the accelerator sooner. Pujara, a former CSK player, noted that bowlers have evolved, making it harder to target less experienced bowlers during chases. He also felt that MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja could have accelerated earlier in the match. Pujara called for a rethink in CSK’s batting plan, suggesting the inclusion of Devon Conway for a more stable middle order. With just one win in three games, CSK will need to address their batting vulnerabilities to improve their performance in the ongoing IPL season.
