CSK, known for their sharp fielding, has been unusually sloppy—dropping catches, misfielding, and missing run-outs, which have cost them crucial moments in both matches. The losses came in CSK’s opening games of IPL 2025, raising early concerns about their title defense.
In T20 cricket, fielding can be the difference between winning and losing. A single dropped catch can shift momentum, and CSK’s errors have allowed opponents to post bigger totals.
How Can CSK Fix It?
Rayudu suggested intensive fielding drills, better communication, and mental toughness as key fixes. With the tournament still long, CSK has time to recover—but they must act fast.
