The CSK CEO, Kasi Vishwanathan, has urged the fans to believe in the legendary captain MS Dhoni amid their struggle in the IPL 2025.
He admitted that the team’s disappointing outing this season was during an event in Chennai.
“All of you will be a little bit disappointed with the performance of CSK this year. Of course, it’s bound to happen. We’ve had tough seasons before. We know we are not playing good cricket at the moment, but we remain hopeful of turning things around in the coming matches,” he said.
The CEO recalled the IPL 2010 season, where they won their maiden IPL title. It is worth notable that CSK had lost five matches on the trot in that edition but went on to win the title.
He also motivated disheartened fans with this example and urged them to keep their faith in skipper MS Dhoni. He has also acknowledged the commitment of the CSK players while hoping for their comeback in the second half of the onoging season.
“Of course, we remember the year 2010. We lost five games in a row and went on to win the cup. That was the first year we won the title. I am sure the boys are committed. The team is committed. And with someone like Thala (MS Dhoni) at the helm, it’s only a matter of time before we come back,” Viswanathan added.
Dhoni has been named as the captain of the CSK for the remaining matches of this edition. This came after Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of the tournament due to elbow injury.
Chennai has been struggling themselves in great troubles since the beginning of this edition. They have only two wins out of eight games in the season so far and are in the verge of elimination.
They need to cope wins in the upcoming games if they need to keep their playoff chances alive. Chennai Super Kings will play their next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.
