3 things CSK need to do to make a strong comeback next season

The Chennai Super Kings endured a miserable run of form in the ongoing IPL 2025, finishing at the 10th spot in the tournament’s points table. They won only four games while losing 10 games, earning eight points to their names. The CSK management faced a lot of criticism for their plans and strategies throughout the entire tournament.

With that said, here we’ll have 3 things CSK needs to do to make a strong comeback next season in 2026. These things involve major changes like a balance in the team, including the batting and bowling attack.

Here’s a look at 3 things CSK need to do for a strong comeback next season

1. Moving on from MS Dhoni

One of the first and foremost things the CSK think tank needs to do is move on from the ‘MS Dhoni’ factor in the upcoming season. They need to bank on a young captain who can lead the team with his energy and passion to carry the legacy Dhoni built in the last 18 seasons.

So, it becomes quite inevitable for CSK to think beyond Dhoni to head to go for a fresh start to achieve success in the next edition and learn from the failures of the current season. It is also being said because Dhoni seemed to be a bit faded, both as skipper and batter in the IPL 2025.

2. Building a strong top order

Two all-rounders, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, are the top two leading run-scorers for CSK in IPL 2025. They were followed by the teenage debutant Ayush Mhatre at number three, who batted in just 7 innings. The above scenario is enough evidence to prove the weakness of CSK’s top batting order in their recently concluded IPL 2025 campaign.

The lack of an intact top order in the batting attack was one of the prime reasons in CSK’s downfall this season, as they failed to chase targets in a few matches, alongside failing to post big totals while batting first. So, it is something where CSK management seriously needs to work while approaching the next edition in 2026.

3. A balanced bowling attack

Most of the CSK bowlers looked clueless, except for the young spinner Noor Ahmed. A lack of balance between spin and pace was seen in CSK’s bowling attack during the tournament’s 18th edition. Most of the bowlers conceding runs with an economy of more than 8 or 9 per over was one of the biggest reasons behind the team losing a few crucial matches.

So, picking up some bowlers who can deliver consistently and bring a good balance in the bowling attack should be one of the top priorities for the CSK think tank to make a strong comeback in the upcoming 19th edition of the tournament.
