Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have lost second consecutive defeat in IPL 2025. The team ranks 7th in the points table. The main reason for this is that not one or two but 6 flop players have got place in the playing-11. The way CSK selected the squad in the mega auction of IPL 2025 was under question. Now CSK lost by 6 runs even after the wicket against Rajasthan was in hand. The franchise has looted money in crores on these players. But seeing their poor performance, the displeasure of the fans has erupted. Who are the criminals of the team? Know ...

These 6 players are responsible for CSK's defeat

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who won the title 5 times in the IPL, have played 3 matches in IPL 2025 so far. In which the team won the first match against Mumbai in the absence of Hardik and Bumrah. But after this, CSK had to face defeat against RCB by 50 runs and 6 runs against Rajasthan. The reason for this is 6 flop players of the team Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Sam Curran, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Vijay Shankar and Ravichandran Ashwin. All these players have proved to be a block in contributing to their talent in the team. Due to which the anger of the fans is also bursting on the players.

Crores of players, but performance flop

Rahul Tripathi has flopped completely for CSK. The franchise had expressed a lot of confidence in the player and had added to 3.4 crores to the auction, but he has been able to score only 2, 5 and 23 runs in all three matches for CSK. All -rounder Vijay Shankar was bought by CSK for 1.2 crores in the mega auction. He did not get a chance in playing-11 in both the initial matches, but then when the player got a place against Rajasthan, he returned to the pavilion only after scoring only 9 runs.

At the same time, veteran all -rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has been bought by CSK with a total price of 9.75 crores, but the player has not performed specially in a match. He has scored 11 runs, so he has taken only 3 wickets in 3 matches.

Dhoni's name also included in the list of guards

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad gave a 1.70 crore Deepak Hooda to play in playing-11 in both matches of the season. But he flopped completely. The players returned to the pavilion only after scoring 3 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad and 4 against RCB. After which he was dropped in the match against Rajasthan. Like Deepak, 2.40 crore Sam Kurran was also demonstrated after a bad performance in the third match.

The player has scored only 12 runs in two matches and has not taken any wickets. The players convicted of CSK's defeat include veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni's name. Dhoni's changing batting order has become a problem for the team. They are putting shots, but are not able to win the match due to less balls. Due to which many stalwarts have also angry on him. Now CSK has to play the next match with Delhi Capitals on 5 April. This match can see major changes in the team's playing order.
