CSK crashed out of IPL 2026 after a big loss, but Ashwin’s post-match comments shocked fans even more.
Ashwin said this isn’t Dhoni’s CSK anymore, that times have changed, and that success will take time to return.
He said CSK needs more experience, better bowlers, and improved team balance, not just young talent.
Ashwin questioned if the current squad fits Chennai’s home conditions, sparking online debate about team selection.
Ashwin recalled players like Raina, Rayudu, and Hussey, saying they helped CSK master tough Chepauk pitches in the past.
With CSK missing the playoffs again, questions about Ruturaj Gaikwad and the team’s future are growing louder.
After three poor seasons and ongoing Dhoni talk, fans worry CSK is facing its biggest transition yet.
