CSK drowned at home too
It is considered very difficult for any team to defeat Chennai Super Kings in his homeground Chepock (MA Chidambaram Stadium). But in the current season, the fort of CSK has completely collapsed. For the first time in the IPL, CSK has lost five consecutive matches at its home. Also, CSK has lost five matches for the first time at his home in a season. Also, this is the first time when Chennai Super Kings could not reach the playoffs in two consecutive IPL seasons. Let us know that Chennai Super Kings finished fifth in IPL 2024.
Chennai Super Kings made a brilliant start this season and defeated Mumbai Indians (Mi) 4 wickets at his home. But after that the process of defeat of the team started. CSK suffered defeat at his home at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings. SRH won for the first time in Chepock. At the same time, Delhi Capitals beat CSK in his house after 15 years. While RCB pierced the Fort of Chennai after 17 years.
This season is not sitting right this season for Chennai Super Kings. Neither the performance of the batsmen has seen continuity, nor the bowlers of the team have been as effective. In the middle season itself, CSK suffered a major setback when Rituraj Gaikwad was out of the tournament due to being an engineer. After Rituraj’s dismissal, Mahendra Singh Dhoni took over the captaincy again, but this time he could not change the fate of the team this time.
