Chennai Super Kings faced a setback in the IPL 2025 as they were defeated for the seventh time, this time by Sunrisers Hyderabad with a five-wicket loss at Chepauk. This defeat marked the fourth consecutive loss for CSK at their home ground. The team’s batting performance was lackluster, only mustering a total of 154 runs on the scoreboard, with Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis being the only batsmen to show some resistance. Former cricketer Virender Sehwag criticized CSK’s batting order, pointing out the lack of responsibility among the players and the absence of consistent scoring throughout the innings. This defeat adds to CSK’s woes in the ongoing IPL season, putting them under more pressure to turn things around in the upcoming matches to stay in contention for the playoffs.
