New Delhi:
Everyone is surprised by the performance of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). Neither its players are seeing the same enthusiasm, nor the strategy. Now the matter has reached here that Suresh Raina, who is called Mr. IPL (Suresh Raina) It has even said that the CSK management made a big mistake in the auction held last year. In the match with Mumbai, Raina said from the commentary box that he never saw Super Kings struggling like this. Chennai’s team is the most lazy in the points table by losing six out of eight matches. And looking at the performance, it does not seem that this team will be able to qualify for the play-off.

IPL 2025: “We have three four hours every day …” Suresh Raina narrated the unheard of Mahendra Singh Dhoni before IPL

Raina, who played 12 seasons for Chennai from 2008 to 2021, said that the poor strategy was responsible for this year’s poor performance. He said, ‘I think this year’s auction in terms of coaches and management was not good. There were many talented players in the auction here. It was Prashant Arya, while Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul were also. He said, ‘When you see other teams playing, they are very aggressive in front of Super Kings. I have never seen Chennai struggling like this.

At the same time, Harbhajan Singh, who is sitting next to Raina and playing for Chennai, said, ‘I do not see any player among the youth who can play a match -changing innings. Whoever handles the Talent Scout Department for Chennai, should be asked whether he gave the correct information to the management. There is no doubt that the CSK bankruptcy is visible from the perspective of strategy and it seems that it has given all his energy around Dhoni’s stature and the former captain.

Money was spent, but match winners missing?

In the mega auction held last year, all the teams got a purse of Rs 120 crore for the purchase and sale of players from the Governing Council. And now after spending 25 players currently, there are five lakh rupees left in their account. That means the Super Kings spent the money fiercely, but despite this, he could not stand the level team. About ten crore rupees were spent on a player like Ashwin, which is in the last phase. Now it seems that Dhoni became at the center above the exact strategy for Chennai management! It is obvious that if players like Raina and Bhajji are raising questions about the auction, then they are raising it right.
