IPL 2025: CSK did not get auction correctly, admits Stephen Fleming

Chief coach Chennai Super Kings Stephen Fleming on Friday, April 25, admitted that franchise in 2024 spoiled mega-auction. After a loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a collision at the bottom of the table, Fleming said that the team did not get things right at the beginning of the season and from there every game.

CSK has launched the Indian Premier League 2025 campaign with victories against the Indians in Mumbai at home, but have since won only one match in the other 8 games. The worst thing from the perspective of Chennai is that they were not able to win in their house at all, which used to be a fortress in previous editions of the tournament.

Fleming, who spoke at a press conference after the match after the match after the game CSK vs SRH, said that in the 2025 season things were derailed very quickly.

“So we looked at it in detail around our game style. We’ll also look at how the game is evolving. And it’s not easy. And that’s why we are proud of our record. Today we were able to be so long and that it wasn’t going to go in another way.

The coach took full responsibility for the campaign the team at the moment, and urged the players to look inside.

“So you take responsibility from top to bottom and then ask a little more players,” Fleming said. “Yeah, it must be an area where we have to think and say that it wasn’t as good as what it could be, or it didn’t work out as we wanted.”

Fleming, however, claimed that CSK still had a good team at the beginning of the season, but he was unable to make a game plan in any of his matches. He said that the lack of execution ended in many mowing and changing, which eventually forced their season to disintegrate.

“A few key injuries, just a little lack of form. And we just tried to nail the game plan. We chopped and changed too much.

Some of the best purchases of Chennai Super Kings are currently sitting before playing XI, or they were not able to play best, even though they got consistent chances. Like Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hood and Ravicandran Ashwin, they didn’t play at the pace that the game was to play.

After the loss against SRH, CSK left away from the rest of the table. They have only 4 points out of 9 games.
