Tough IPL 2025 for CSK, But New Stars Offer Hope for IPL 2026
The 2025 IPL season was not kind to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they were placed in the lower half of the points table. The season took a wrong turn at the beginning when their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured, and MS Dhoni was compelled to resume the captaincy role.
Dhoni made every effort, but the old warhorses in the team could not string performances together, and the side could not get any momentum going. Their batting was short on firepower, and the bowling staff failed to deliver in crunch time. Yet, even though the season was a letdown, CSK did unearth some positives in the guise of young stars who indicated promise.
The new players provided hope for the future for the team. In the future, CSK will work to rebuild their team on the basis of these emerging stars and return stronger in IPL 2026. With improved planning and a clean slate, they will be looking to rebound and battle for the championship once again.
