「チームは良くない」：Fremingの主張CSKにはIPL 2025があります

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming did not shy away from admitting that the team had gotten the auction strategy wrong. CSK slumped to their 7th defeat in IPL 2025 after being handed a 5-wicket loss by SRH. The five-time champions are on the verge of being eliminated from the season and virtually stand no chance of making it to the playoffs.

Fleming addresses CSK’s auction blunder

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Fleming noted that other teams had gotten better after the auction while CSK did not. He admitted that the side was currently looking into changing the way they approached T20s and that it wasn’t easy for CSK to evolve at the pace with which the game was doing so. Incidentally, CSK have used 20 out of 27 players in their squad but are yet to find the right composition.

“We have been able to be consistent for so long and it doesn’t take much for it to go another way. Other teams have got better and that is the point of the auction. But we just haven’t been able to get it right,” Fleming said.

However, the CSK coach pointed out that the team faced several setbakcs in the form of injuries and lack of form.

“A couple of key injuries, just a bit of a lack of form. And we have just struggled really to nail a game plan. We’ve chopped and changed too much. I think it was trying to look for something that perhaps we felt wasn’t there,” he added.
