Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Viswanathan backed his team following their dismal performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Viswanathan believes that the MS Dhoni-led side have the ability to bounce back, recalling their famous turnaround in 2010 when they recovered from mid-season and won the title defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) in the final.
CSK are currently facing a lot of criticism for their performance in the 18th edition of the tournament. The five-time champions are currently at number 10 in the points table after losing six out of their first eight matches. Their last defeat against MI has left their playoff hopes hanging by a thread.
Addressing the current situation, Viswanathan said during an event in Chennai, “All of you will be a little bit disappointed with the performance of CSK this year. Of course, it's bound to happen. We have had this earlier also. We know that we are not playing good cricket as of now. But we hope that in the coming matches, we should be able to do better."
Reiterating his belief in the squad’s potential, the CSK CEO added, “We have got someone of the calibre of Shivam Dube here. He has been doing so well over the years. And with someone like Thala being at the helm, it’s only a question of time before we come back.”
Viswanathan also recalled IPL 2010, where CSK had managed to win just two matches in their first seven matches but made a comeback and won the title.

“Of course, we remember the year 2010. We lost five games in a row and went on to win the cup. That was the first year we won the title. I am sure the boys are committed. The team is committed. I am sure we will come up with better performances in the upcoming matches,” he added.
CSK will now face Sunrisers Hyderabad for their upcoming clash of the cash-rich league, which will take place on April 25 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
