IPL 2024 Chennai Super Kings : In IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings have not performed very well so far. CSK has only shown average performance so far. Under the leadership of Rituraj Gaikwad, Chennai have played 8 matches so far this season, winning 4 and losing 4.

CSK has also dropped out of the top-4. Chennai is at the sixth position in the points table.

Meanwhile, chances of Chennai Super Kings winning the trophy this season are considered very low. Here we are going to try to know the reasons for this.

Interestingly, it is also being said that this is MS Dhoni's last IPL. If this is true, Dhoni may have to retire empty-handed.

1) New captain

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of Chennai last season till IPL 2023. Last season he led the team to win the trophy under his leadership. But before the start of this season i.e. IPL 2024, Dhoni quit the captaincy and young Rituraj Gaikwad was made the captain.

In such a situation, young Gaikwad is under the pressure of captaincy, in this pressure he is also making mistakes.

2) CSK heavily dependent on Shivam Dubey

All-rounder Shivam Dubey has batted brilliantly for Chennai so far. Shivam played brilliant knocks on several occasions and helped the team build and achieve good totals. But Ravindra Jadeja who is batting in the end or other batsmen are not looking that effective in batting.

Dubey has scored 311 runs in 8 matches so far. Over-reliance on Shivam Dubey in such a situation can be a big problem for Chennai. Because if Dubey gets out early in a match, CSK may face problems.

3) Weak spin bowling

Chennai have good pace bowlers like Mathisha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, but the team's spin attack looks equally weak. Ravindra Jadeja, the team's main spinner, has also been seen struggling so far.

Apart from this, Sri Lankan spinner Mahish Thikshana was also given a chance, but he also failed. In such a situation, a big problem can arise for the team.

This wish of Dhoni may also remain unfulfilled

Meanwhile, a few years ago, Dhoni had expressed his desire to play his last match in Chepauk. This time the final match of IPL will be held in Chepauk. In such a situation, fans are thinking that Dhoni will play the final on the ground of Chepauk and retire as a champion.

But this time it seems very difficult for Chennai Super Kings to win the trophy. In such a situation, Dhoni's desire to play his last match in Chepauk may not be fulfilled. Now it will be interesting to see what happens at the end of the competition.
