IPL 2025 | CSK should rethink its batting approach
It’s early days for Chennai Super Kings in this season’s IPL, having played just two games. However, the 50-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the MAC Stadium here on Friday exposed the team’s fundamental weakness, which has been apparent since the squad was put together at the auction last year. CSK’s method of maximising its home advantage by playing on spin-friendly tracks forced the think-tank to spend big bucks on tweakers Noor Ahmad and R. Ashwin. In the first two games, the trio failed to pull its weight, and the Men in Yellow seem heavily reliant on skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube. Even as competitors push the envelope of a safe total beyond 200 and even 250, the five-time champion’s line-up doesn’t seem to be built for that.
