Chennai Super Kings had a shaky start to their campaign in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. After winning their opening match against Mumbai Indians, the five-time IPL champions suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are one of the most successful franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), having secured five IPL titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023), under the leadership of legendary MS Dhoni.

They have players out of form, an approach that looks dated, a disappearing home advantage and a workload-managed MS Dhoni. Can they find a way around it all?
