Chennai Super Kings are facing a challenging IPL 2025 season, currently sitting at the bottom of the table with just six points. The team has struggled significantly, with injuries, particularly to Ruturaj Gaikwad, impacting their performance.

CSK's top-order batting has been particularly concerning, averaging only 23.31, the worst among all franchises, compared to table-toppers Gujarat's 61.35.

In response to their struggles, CSK is shifting its focus to the future by promoting emerging talents like Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi. Head coach Stephen Fleming acknowledged the team's challenges but expressed optimism about the future, indicating a potential offloading of underperforming players.

The team’s veteran wicketkeeper-batter, who stepped in as interim skipper, managed only 196 runs in 13 matches, highlighting the need for a fresh approach as they look to rebuild for the next season.
