Chennai Super Kings started well by winning the first match in IPL 2025, but after that they had to face defeat in 5 consecutive matches. Meanwhile, regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad was out of the season due to injury and Mahendra Singh Dhoni was given the command of CSK. But the fate of the team could not change. Dhoni's poor form also remains a matter of concern, so he is being criticized a lot. But coach Stephen Fleming has defended him. He said that the return of the team from here is a big challenge. He said that the fate of the team will not change overnight.

This is said about Dhoni

Regarding Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the coach of CSK said that the influence of Mahi will always be important, but he is not an astrology, he has no magic wand.

Had it been, he would have used it. We are working hard to change the situation of the team. There have been many such occasions in our cricket career where a lot of struggle has to be made to make a comeback. But we can return. After losing 9 wickets for just 103 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders and then losing in 10.1 overs, Fleming said that the team is very disappointed with this performance. This was our fifth consecutive defeat, which happened for the first time in history. We batted very poorly in our home ground.

We have to improve all three areas

CSK coach Stephen Fleming said that we have to improve all three areas. The previous match was more disappointing because we did not compete. We are trying to move forward by learning from our defeat. In six matches of this season, CSK has hit a total of 32 sixes. That is, an average of five more than five. Apart from this, no batsman has been able to score more than 150 runs so far nor is anyone's strike rate above 150. However, Fleming says that the strike rate and shortage of sixes are not as big problems and batsmen can score runs in other ways as well.

He said that the beauty of this game is in this that there should be a balance between the bat and the ball.
