The Chennai Super Kings are going through a challenging phase after a loss to the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, at Chepauk on Friday, April 11. MS Dhoni returned as captain, but the five-time champions suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. It was their first-ever five-match losing streak in a season.
“One of CSK's worst defeats ever. Powerplay batting looked like a rehearsal for a test match. Whole XI feels like it's running on nostalgia. Time to think out of the box, why not try some unsold players like Prithvi Shaw at this point? Would you try it? even chaos is a strategy?” Srikkanth wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Can Chennai Super Kings Secure Prithvi Shaw?
Shaw played for Delhi Capitals from 2018 to 2024, amassing 1892 runs in 79 IPL matches. He was not retained by Delhi ahead of the 2025 season and entered the mega auction with a base price of Rs 75 lakh. However, no franchise picked him, likely due to concerns over his fitness and disciplinary issues.
Chennai Super Kings Could Only Manage 103/9 at Chepauk
Chennai Super Kings posted just 103/9 at home on a slow Chepauk pitch. The absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad compounded their struggles, and they were forced to include Deepak Hooda as an Impact Player by sacrificing Matheesha Pathirana. This was CSK's third defeat at Chepauk in the ongoing IPL season.
In response, KKR chased down the target in 10.1 overs. Sunil Narine smashed 44 off 18 balls, including two fours and five sixes. Captain Ajinkya Rahane (20*), Quinton de Kock (23), and Rinku Singh (15*) helped the team reach the target with 59 balls to spare.
