Chennai Super Kings Look to Bounce Back After Poor IPL 2025 Season
The CSK endured a disappointing campaign last year, securing only four victories in 14 matches. They finished at the bottom of the standings with just four wins and ended below Rajasthan Royals due to an inferior net run rate.
To recover from back-to-back poor seasons, the management made several bold moves. The biggest change was a major off-season trade that brought Sanju Samson to Chennai, while Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran moved to Rajasthan Royals.
Sanju Samson arrives in strong form after an impressive ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign. He played key innings, including in knockout matches, and contributed to India’s title win before joining Chennai Super Kings.
