Delhi: The journey of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has once again ended ahead of time. The team has failed to make it to the second consecutive season playoffs. This time the team won only 2 out of 10 matches and lost in 8 matches.
Luck has not changed even under Dhoni’s captaincy
In the beginning of the season, regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad was injured, after which Mahendra Singh Dhoni took over the command of the team. But under his leadership, the team could not perform better and continued to face defeat.
Harbhajan Singh expressed resentment
Former India veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh has questioned Chennai’s strategy. He said that the team did not choose the right combination keeping in mind the circumstances. He specifically expressed displeasure over the spin department.
Not to feed Ashwin beyond understanding
Harbhajan said that if Noor Ahmed, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had played together against Punjab, the result of the match would have been different. He raised the question that when Ashwin was purchased for Rs 9.75 crore, then why was he not given a place in the playing XI.
Auction strategy was also flop
The auction strategy of Chennai is also being criticized. Many cricket experts believe that the team did not choose the right players and could not make a strong combination. The impact of this was also clearly seen on the performance of the team.
