CSK players absent from Indian team due to major reason: former Chennai veteran disclosed

Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) In the 43rd match of 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five wickets. The match was played at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepock where Chennai scored 154 runs in 19.5 overs while batting first and the entire team was dismissed.

Hyderabad created history

The Hyderabad team achieved the target of 155 runs by losing 5 wickets in 18.4 overs. The special thing in this match was that this was Hyderabad’s first victory on Chepock ground, which is a big achievement for him.

Chennai’s frequent declining form

This was the seventh defeat of Chennai Super Kings in this season, making it almost impossible to reach his playoffs. At the same time, Hyderabad has registered its third win of this season and it has reached 8th position in the points table.

Raina raised questions on players

Former Chennai star player Suresh Raina reacted strongly to the team’s performance. Talking on Star Sports, he said, “Now Chennai players do not play for India, because they did not have the same quality as before. Earlier when a player was in CSK, it was believed that he would wear Team India’s jersey, because every player used to give his best and play an important role in winning the team.”

Worry about not reaching the playoffs

Raina also indicated that the team does not see the passion in the team which was seen in the first season. Chennai’s constant defeat and weak performance have also disappointed the fans.

CSK’s next match

Chennai Super Kings have lost 7 out of 9 matches so far, due to which the morale of his fans has started breaking. However, the team is not completely out of this IPL yet. In such a situation, Chennai will be seen to return to his upcoming matches and make a comeback. The next match of the team is to be against Punjab Kings on 30 April.
