CSK Mid-Sector Report: Can MS Dhoni Magic change it to Chennai Super Kings? , Cricket news

New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has reached its halfway, and the situation looks unusually severe for the five -time champion, Chennai Super Kings (CSK). With only two wins of their first seven matches, CSK finds himself locked at the bottom of the table. Now the pressing question is: Can they bounce back in the remaining seven matches?
Hits
One of the some bright places for CSK in this season has been Noor Ahmed. The Afghan spinner has been sensational, on average, on average, 12 wickets in 7 games and economy rate of 7.12. He currently holds the purple cap and is the backbone of his bowling attack. There has been another positive Khalal Ahmed, who sits behind Noor in the wicket -taking chart, with 11 scale 11 scale at an average of 22.09. Although 9 runs are a bit expensive in the over, their successes have come in critical moments.
Leave it
The biggest lethargy for CSK has been his batting. In the recent season, his most trusted batsman Ruturaj Gikwad played the first five matches before going out with the fracture of the elbow – a major setback for his campaign. Rachin Rabindra is the top scorer of the team, with 186 runs an average of 31 and a strike rate of 132.85, but the batting unit as a whole lacks intentions and flows.

CSK has finished second out of six of its seven matches and managed to chase the target only twice-chasing the score below 170 times. Middle order has not fired, and MS seems to be a extremely free to finish the game on Dhoni. At the age of 43, if CSK still depends on Dhoni’s magic in the death over, it portrays a worrying picture.
Playoff probability
CSK has created its heritage on impossible return, but this time, the work looks monumental. Although it is not mathematically impossible, the front road stands. Ruturaj’s unavailable and Dhoni captured the captaincy, CSK would need something extraordinary – perhaps to make a touchoff of that vintage ‘Mahi Magic’.
