In a season already marked by frustration and experimentation, Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) Decision-making was again under the scanner, this time he had a strong and public reconstruction of the legendary South African Pider Dale Steyn. During his IPL 2025 clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR), CSK’s unconventional choice to promote Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra jadaja Raise the battle order after an early collapse would leave the fans and experts scratching their heads.
Dale Steyn criticizes the selection of CSK battle order against RR
Steyn arrived at X Social Networks X platform and made sarcastic observations about the CSK battle order, where he wrote: “CSK 3 down and send 2 bowls to bat. Sometimes I feel that their math is not math,“To perfectly capture the bewilderment that surrounds CSK tactics.
CSK problems began almost immediately after being beaten by RR. With the score reading a precarious 12/2 after only two grains, following the layoffs of Devon conway and Urvil Patel—The team management moved to bold, if bewildering. Instead of sending its established power horses, CSK promoted Ashwin to number four and Jadja at number five, both known mainly for their bowling capacity.
While Ashwin managed a rapid 13 of 8 balls and sewed a rapid 56 -year -old stand with Young Ayush MhatreIts early promotion was only the third instance of his IPL career. Jadja, however, could not impact, just falling 1 throw. The finished left movement tested as Dewald Brevis and Shivam dube Waiting for the mouth, a decision that caused widespread criticism, not less than Steyn, who called into question the logic of sending two bowls to stabilize the sinking inputs.
The repercussions were immediate. After the aggressive 43 of Mhatre of 20 balls and the brief cameo of Ashwin, CSK’s impetus sank. The quick departure of Jadeja further exposed the average order, and although Brevis (42 of 25) and Dube (39 of 32 years) tried to resurrect the entrances, the team could only gather 17 runs on the last three surfaces, ending at 187/8 – a total RRA pursued easily.

Experiment or cOnfusion? What is next for csk?
CSK’s misconduct was not an isolated incident, but a season full of tactical uncertainty. With the hopes of Playoff already slaughtered, captain Ms woman It was admitted that the franchise was in “experimental mode”, focusing on creation for the future instead of immediate results. However, critics such as Steyn argue that this experimentation at high betting coincides with the risks of undermining both the player’s confidence and the morality of the team.
The numbers paint a strong image: CSK has lost the first five doctors for less than 100 runs in four of its last six games, emphasizing the first -rate persistent struggles. Despite the brilliance of young talents, such as Mhatre, the lack of a coherent battle strategy has left the team that deceives near the table, a rare view for a franchise with five IPL titles under the belt.
