CSK’s Michael Hussey: Made a bold statement after losing to KKR.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) has so far been very disappointing. On Friday (April 11), the team suffered defeat in 5 consecutive matches this season with a crushing defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders and now they have slipped to ninth place in the points table.

Despite losing five consecutive matches, the team’s batting coach Michael Hussey believes that CSK can still make it to the playoffs. After losing to KKR, Michael Hussey said, we are not ready to give up right now. The tournament is tall and it is necessary to just reach the fourth position. Yes, at this time we do not have any Momentum and we are not able to play good cricket, we believe it. But this does not mean that things cannot change.

He further said, if we are able to register one or two win, then the team’s confidence will return and then anything can happen. We are confident that we can make it to the last four in the table. Demand for change in the team is arising after CSK’s continuous defeat, but Hussey does not agree. He said, this is the time to remain united, not to change everything. The way our players are accustomed to play, we cannot suddenly ask them to play in a completely different way.

What did Mike say if young players are not given a chance in the team

Amid the questions arising when the young players are not given a chance in the team, Hussey said that experience has its own importance. He said, players like Shane Watson and Ajinkya Rahane performed brilliantly for CSK in the final stages of their career. I still think that our experienced players can give a lot for the team.

Michael Hussey said that the head coach Stephen Fleming, captain MS Dhoni and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who remained with the team despite the injury, will keep the team united. He also appealed to CSK fans to maintain support. He said, we still have talent and we can get out of this situation. But it will have to work hard for this. Our fan base has been fantastic from the beginning and we hope that they will remain with us even in this difficult time.
