CSK has put a hat -trick of defeat on domestic pitch

The Chennai Super Kings team lost three consecutive matches on the home ground for the first time in the 18 -year history of the IPL.

This defeat has forced Dhoni to talk on the pitch. Dhoni has criticized the pitch of Chepock in Chennai after winning in Lucknow. He said that Chennai's slow wicket is the reason for continuous defeat in the house. When we played outside the house, our batsmen have done better. Perhaps we need to play on such a pitch, which is better for batting a little and this can give our batsmen confident. You never want to play timid cricket. Mahi said that there is no turn on Chepock's pitch, which is bothering CSK. Chennai often implicates opponents in spin trap at its home ground, but this time it is not happening.

On the question of repeatedly stuttering of CSK's batting in IPL 2025, Captain Cool said that one of the reasons may be that Chennai's wicket is slightly slow. When we have played outside the home ground, our batsmen have done better. Perhaps we need to play on such pitches that are a little better. This will give the batsmen confident of playing their shots. Even before Dhoni, many captains and coaches have questioned the pitch.

A few days ago, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said in a complaint tone that there has been a lot of talk on this pitch. So they will not say anything or else the news will be made. Zaheer Khan of Lucknow Supergiants has also complained about the pitch.
