With eight matches remaining in the ongoing IPL 2025, Hussey feels Chennai Super Kings still have a shot at making it to the playoffs. The CSK batting coach has stressed that the key lies in building momentum at the right time, and he is confident that one or two good games can turn things around.
Michael Hussey said at the post-match presentation, “We are certainly not putting the white flag up just yet. You only have to get in to scrape into that fourth place. And a big, long tournament like the IPL is about momentum. Now, certainly, the momentum is not with us at the moment whatsoever. We haven't been playing good cricket consistently.”

The CSK batting coach further noted, “We definitely acknowledge that, but that's not to say things can't turn around and can't turn around quickly. We might be able to scrape into one of those last positions in the table come playoff time. And it's a long way ahead, and we certainly need to change things around. But we still believe that we can do that.”
He feels that making too many changes or losing team unity could make things worse instead of better. Hussey insisted that they should keep trusting their process and work hard as a team. The batting coach also backed the senior players to make a strong comeback in the tournament.

CSK coach further added, “I don't necessarily agree with the fact that they're beyond their best. I still think we can find their best form and see some great performances from them.” Interestingly, Hussey said that the youngsters would get a chance when the Chennai Super Kings are out of the playoffs race.
At the end, Hussey praised CSK fans for always supporting the team. He said the players feel bad about the losses and want to bounce back for the fans. The batting coach hopes that the fans continue to stand by the team even during this tough phase.
