An important reason behind CSK's struggle in Chepauk was the unexpected nature of the field. Unlike the past seasons, the surface did not help so much and left the traditional power of the team neutralized. Mike Hussey, a stroke coach, admitted that this shift caught them unprepared.
Hussey, at a press conference before a match on Friday, “In the past, much more (Mac). Isn't it surprising to lose too much games at home?
Previously, CSK'nın in the last two seasons of the house conditions read the wrong reading of the head coach Stephen Fleming reiterated the emotions shared. Nevertheless, CSK won five matches in Chepauk in 2024 and finished with a total of seven wins.
Nevertheless, Hussey insisted that Chepauk was not accused alone.
“But I don't think that this is coming to Chepauk.
“I mean, it doesn't matter whether we play in Chepauk or far away, I still think the results will probably go that way.” He said.
Indeed, it supports the claim of statistics. With 248 running of CSK, the best striker Shivam Dube is not even in the 20 best runners of the league. In the bowling department, the left Armers Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed are among the top 10 small door buyers, but especially support from senior yarns.
The veterans R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were crushed by claiming only 5 and 7 small gates respectively. Ashwin has not even been involved in the last three games.
CSK had fixed his hopes to Ashwin and Jadeja, but both were left to a relative new arrivals like Noor Ahmad to carry the load.
Despite the difficulties, Hussey explained that there is no directive to change the step conditions in favor of CSK.
“Floor men are employed to produce good fields. I never like when teams try to get an advantage by producing a step that helps them or can affect a game.
“I certainly don't think we're trying to tell what kind of step we want to the ground men or what we need.”
In any case, Hussey accepted the pain of home defeats.
“This is something that hurts us because we like to play in front of our house fans and they support us every time. So, losing games at home is absolutely disappointed.” He said.
When we look forward, Hussey implied an important intimacy and preparation for IPL 2026.
“Probably there will be a lot of planning and preparation to ensure that we are not fully nailed this year and we are very specific about how we were leaving next year,” he said.
The Yellow Army, who is always loyal, hopes that next year, he will return to dominance with Chepauk.
