IPL 2025 Chennai Super Kings:  Chennai Super Kings have suffered another crushing defeat in IPL 2025. This time Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated them on their home ground. On Friday (25 April) at the Chepauk Stadium, Chennai suffered its seventh defeat in the season. Sunrisers won the match by 5 wickets. After this defeat, Chennai's hopes of reaching the playoffs have faded and now only a miracle can take them to the last 4.

Chennai's team is at the bottom of the points table at 10th place with just 2 wins in 9 matches. Now they have to win their remaining five matches at any cost. Apart from this, Chennai will also have to keep an eye on the results of other teams. This season, the team has won only against Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. Its 3 big players have disappointed in the defeat against Sunrisers. The total value of those three in IPL 2025 is Rs 16.1 crore. We are telling you about them here...

Sam Curran

Chennai Super Kings' former player Sam Curran was in Punjab Kings last season. He was then priced at Rs 18.50 crore. For this season, CSK bought him for Rs 2.4 crore during the mega auction. Curran managed to make it to the playing eleven from the first match itself, but he could not perform well, due to which he was dropped from the team. Now when he got a chance against Sunrisers, he again fizzled out. Neither could he bat nor could he show his flair in bowling. He came out to bat at number three. He scored 9 runs off 10 balls. When he came to bowl, he proved to be very expensive. He conceded 25 runs in 2 overs. Curran has played 3 matches so far this season and has scored only 21 runs. He has not got a single success in bowling.

Deepak Hooda

Chennai's team is always known for trusting experienced players. It did the same in the auction. CSK surprised everyone by buying experienced batsman Deepak Hooda. After this, everyone thought that Deepak's career would come back on track like Ajinkya Rahane by coming to CSK, but he disappointed everyone. Deepak, who was bought for Rs 1.70 crore during the mega auction, got to play 4 matches this season. He flopped badly in these matches. He has scored only 29 runs at an average of 7.25 and a strike rate of 74.36.

Shivam dubey

This season has not been special so far for Chennai Super Kings' biggest hope Shivam Dubey. Shivam, who created a stir last time, is not batting. He is seen struggling. He scored 242 runs in 9 matches for the team. These are the most runs scored by any CSK batsman this season, but he is not able to play in his style. Shivam scored runs at a strike rate of 162.30 last season. This season it has come down to 133.70. He has hit only 17 fours and 13 sixes. The number of sixes was almost double last time. He hit 28 sixes in IPL 2024. Shivam's batting lacks aggression and its direct impact is seen on CSK's runs in the middle overs. Shivam has been bought by CSK for Rs 12 crore and he will have to prove his worth in the coming matches.
