Chennai Super King (CSK)is one of the most iconic franchises Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 History, has experienced tough times in the 2025 competition.
This time, the third consecutive defeat of the five-time champion, this time at their fortress – Ma Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where they were surpassed Delhi Capital (DC). Despite good family conditions, CSK has not delivered again, losing 25 games in a one-sided game that exposed their struggling hitting lineup.
Criticism appears from within
After the failure, a surprising controversy broke out, involving CSK Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. The video from DC Games was uploaded on Ashwin’s personal YouTube channel a few days ago, with three team members discussing and dissecting the ongoing issues of the franchise. During discussion, a panelist criticized CSK’s decision to buy an Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad During the IPL 2025 major auction. This sentence has attracted people’s attention, especially because Noor Ahmad is currently the leading wicket in the competition, with 10 wickets installed. The team members believe that CSK should choose another player in the auction because they already have Ashwin and Ashwin and Ravindra Jadaja In the team.

CSK head coach Stephen Fleming’s reaction
At the post-match press conference, the reporter raised viral videos from Ashwin’s YouTube channel and asked if Fleme would cause criticism inside the camp, especially on the player’s personal platform or internal discomfort. The query caught the CSK head coach off guard. At first, Fleming seemed confused by the issue and admitted that he didn’t even know Ashwin was running the YouTube channel. However, the former New Zealand captain remained calm and responded with a relaxed and clear manner.
“Partner, I don’t know. I don’t even know he has a channel, so I don’t follow these things.” Fleming said. He further added “That doesn’t matter. You guys are very important.” Pointing to the journalists and media present, it cleverly shows that his focus is still on team and official discourse, rather than on-the-village chat.
