There are so many they could have gone after https://www.espncricinfo.com/auction/ipl-2025-auction-1460972/unsold-players They can get any of the NZ players - Bracewell, Chapman, Seifert etc. And Bracewell & Chapman can also bowl spin at Chepauk.

Fleming has given interview that pitches are not behaving as expceted.

Hooda should never play again. Overton is crap. Ashwin is also crap. Right now they don't have enough good players on the bench. They screwed themselves at the auction table.

Texan Posted March 31 Posted March 31 MI and CSK are both living on past laurels. They have packed the team with "has been" superstars, but there is no burst of youthful energy and the superstars (read: oldies) are not able to click together as a team. They both need a complete revamp of their teams including the coaching staff. IndianRenegade, Ultimate_Game and bowl_out 1 2

Also playing Jadeja and MSD as finishers for the last 12 years is nuts. Bravo made up for their poor show. Now they don't have Bravo. If we talk about squad CSK has the worst squad. I didn't follow the auction of CSK. Now that i see it, they are certain wooden spooners.

They will make more slow grippy pitches tougher for strokeplay going forward. Any team which can win 5/7 matches in their home can qualify ahead.

Thala's each season gets more embarrassing since that 2023 win. Should have called it a day. Stephen Fleming has given an interview about why MSD comes in late. He says he cannot run between wickets for 10 overs. So his entry point is only around 17th over.

Five overseas? Only one of Conway or Overton can play Ruturaj should open. If they are playing Overton, he should be a middle order hitter like Dube. No point sending him after 18 overs when the game is practically over. If they don't want to do that, they should play Conway. Also, find a way to play Kamboj, at least in a away games

IndianRenegade Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) Dhoni ruined CSK by not giving youngsters chances when it was clear the old guard was not good enough, then decided to hang around trying to get a send off in Chepauk with IPL trophy. He should have ideally retired after the 2023, gone for someone like Jaiswal, Iyer, or Pant to lead the team into the future & let the team rebuild. Dhoni & the team's greed to milk his poularity is destroying the franchise. Edited March 31 by IndianRenegade tweaker 1
