Delhi: The condition of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been very bad this time. The team has so far won only two in 8 matches and is at the bottom of the points table with 4 points. In the last match, CSK lost by 6 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium against its biggest rival Mumbai Indians (Mi). Now on 25 April, Chennai will compete with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
If CSK, captained by MS Dhoni, also loses this match, then his expectation to reach the playoffs will almost end. If Chennai suffers the seventh defeat, then the team will not have a chance to score more than 14 points. However, this time the playoff can also be made on 14 points, but for this, the net run rate and the results of the rest of the teams will also be important.
Coach statement on CSK performance
Before the match against SRH, CSK coach Stephen Fleming said in a press conference that the team still expects to win all the remaining 6 matches. He said, “People may laugh, but RCB has also done this once. As long as we hope, we will keep trying. We are taking care of which players will be the best for the next match.”
Fleming further said, “We have faced this situation a few times before and the same experience helped us to get the title in the next season. We know what we have to do and how to do.”
Fleming, who was the most successful coach of Chennai, also said that no match will be ruined in the next few weeks and players also know this well. He said, “We will not leave any chance. Every match will be important for us and players also understand its importance. This will increase the internal competition in the team.”
Now it will be seen whether Dhoni’s team will be able to overcome this difficult situation or this time the story will end here.
