“We have firepower all the way. I don’t understand this question. Just because we don’t move from ball 1 and we’re lucky to get in the way, just see at the end of who wins it. It’s a positive cricket brand.
When Stephen Fleming went to the reporter and made this statement, the fans hoped to return to the team they had. CSK created an inheritance in the IPL on the back of their incredible performances and banking on experienced stars. People would have funny call them “dad’s army” because they were greatly led by the captain of MS Dhonim and had some of the most experienced players in their ranks. The trend began in 2018 when they decided to go for players like Shane Watson, Harbhajan Singh and Angbati Rayudu who were players who had felt their main ones.

Their experience has appeared Trumps for CSK in the coming years, adding titles in 2018, 2021 and 2023. However, during this period, the T20 cricket generally recorded a massive change. Gone are the days when they try to consolidate and play an anchoring role in the shortest format of the game. PowerPlay exceeding is to be maximized, the middle is exerting more pressure on the pitch and death sees the finishers to take control.
It was an approach that KKR and SRH used perfectly last season, leaving everyone else behind and going to the finals. This season, lying CSK lies the fact that they are stuck in an outdated template and need some fresh blood in the line -up.
Numbers depicting sorry the image for CSK
In 6 games that have been played in IPL, CSK hit only 3 six. In her last three games Chennai did not hit a single six in PowerPlay overs. In modern times it is just a crime in cricket T20.
During the game against the KRK, they hit only one six in all their shifts, while Sunil Narine himself managed to get 5 in his name. The dough krkin hit a total of seven six in their powerplay and in the 11th victory sailed to victory.
Another thing is that the level of CSK team in PowerPlay this season is 116.82. In the league, which spoils fans and makes them want every game 200 or more score, this approach simply does not solve.
Where did CSK go wrong?
Simply auction. CSK who are known for intelligent shopping in auction, Sprayed money on R. Ashwin During the auction, despite leaving the international cricket. Indian players like Rahul Tripathi and Deepak have now fought for several seasons in the IPL.
If you wanted to go to experience, then CSK should push more like KL Rahul, which has become a completely different T20 player during this season. An experienced warrior, such as the FAF du Plessis, someone who enjoyed success with CSK in the past could be a better choice. Even Rahane, someone who revived his career in Chennai, was supposed to chase at the auction.
Instead, the horses they bet look like the slowest among the pack.
What will be next?
Robin Uthappa said it was high time for CSK to bring some fresh blood to arrest the wrong running of the form and also help the franchise in the long run. “Well, you have Sheikh Rasheed who they have taken care of for the past few years, so it’s time to go. Andre Siddharth, who is 18 years old, who you could have and see if everyone is worth the weight and see if they are really good.”
“Because if they are good enough, you actually develop players for the next 10 years and they are local players. It’s time to try these people.”
“I understand their thinking. I understand that they are going to the auction trying to pick up really good experienced players who were doing well in the IPL but it will not be all the time.

“You have lost 5 in a row and you are practically at the bottom of the table, now it is time for these options and. You may not get to play -off now, but let’s try to play these youngs, because if they can pull something out of their hats, then go to play -off, give them so much self -confidence and feel like a million dollars.”
This is something that other teams do efficiently. If you look at VIPRAJ NIGAM, DIGVESH RATHI or PRIYANSH ARYA, they look like the stars that could put the CSK shot in the arm. At the moment, CSK looks like an outdated side and is left behind.
Dhoni will not be there for a long time and CSK will soon have to bring some young people. Otherwise, they risk being stuck in a loop that could be harmful to franchise in the coming years.
