IPL 2025: CSK Down On Confidence; Need To Risk Everything And Try To Win, Says Clarke
After Chennai Super Kings: After Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered their fifth loss on the trot in IPL 2025, former Australia captain Michael Clarke stated that the five-time champions are totally down on confidence and now is the time for them to risk everything for getting wins in rest of the season.
At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, despite MS Dhoni’s return to captaincy, CSK were a pale shadow of their dominating self as KKR’s disciplined bowlers restricted them to 103/9 - their lowest IPL total on the home turf. With defending champions KKR eventually winning by eight wickets, CSK suffered their biggest defeat in the IPL in terms of balls remaining (59) and are still rooted to ninth place in the points table.
“Wicket looked quite tough to bat on. There was a little bit of movement with the new ball and certainly some spin. I think Chennai Super Kings got their plan wrong. The way they went about it - it's clear they’re down on confidence. And their intent - well, there was no intent.”
