Former England captain advised: Chennai must make changes to win.

Delhi: In view of Rahul Tripathi’s poor performance so far in IPL 2025, former England captain Michael Vaughan has advised Chennai Super Kings to change his batting order. Vaughan said that CSK should send his captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to the top order, because Gaikwad has recently batted well. Tripathi’s performance was nothing special in this season, and Vauan believes that CSK will have to change his strategy if he wants to increase his opportunities to win the match.

Rahul Tripathi’s difficulties

Von said, “Rahul Tripathi has not been able to play correctly till now. He has good technology and he can play the ball in ‘V’, but he will have to be more aggressive in the powerplay. It seems that at this time any bowler can easily bowl against Rahul Tripathi.” Tripathi’s performance has been very disappointing in the matches of IPL 2025 so far. On March 30 against Rajasthan Royals, Tripathi scored 23 runs off just 19 balls, while he scored only 2 and 5 runs against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Ruturaj Gaikwad Form

Vaughan also said that perhaps CSK should send his captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to the top order, as Gaikwad has recently performed well. Gaikwad scored 63 off 44 balls against Rajasthan Royals, but CSK’s innings collapsed as soon as he was out. This situation has become very challenging for CSK, because top-order batsmen like Shivam Dubey, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar and Rachin Ravindra are having trouble in achieving their rhythm. Due to this, there is more pressure on Gaekwad.

MS Dhoni’s magic did not work

CSK fans raised little hope when MS Dhoni was sent to number seven, but he failed to show his old magic again. In the final over, Dhoni definitely hit a six and a boundary, but after that he was out. This CSK match also went in a close match against Rajasthan Royals, in which he lost by just 6 runs.

CSK’s next match

After losing the second time against Rajasthan, CSK has now come to the seventh place. Now the next match of CSK is against Delhi Capitals, and they will try their best to improve their performance and improve their position in points tables.
