CSK managed only 16 races to lose 2 tips at the first 6 amounts, one of the slowest beginnings in the history of the iPL.

SRIKKANH shed light on this aspect, saying it is similar to “a rehearsal of a test match”- a brutal but accurate reflection of how the T20 developed for Cracit while some teams are still stuck in the past.
The possible game changes sitting in lethargy
Perhaps the most exciting part to allow SRIKKANTH is its proposal by bringing two players not sold, although Shu is the main example.

Despite its capabilities as a natural stroke maker and aggressive opening, DC was not kept before the 2025-mega auction and remained not sold at a basic price of 75 Indian rupees-a result of surprise many. Simple SRIKKANTH argument: CSK needs new energy on top, and Shaw can provide it. Its aggressive intention, the domination of power, and youthful trust are the features that CSK strongly lacks.
