On <strong>April 11<\/strong>, CSK lost their <strong>fifth match in a row<\/strong>, which is their <strong>worst streak ever in IPL history<\/strong>. They are now <strong>ninth in the standings<\/strong>, just slightly ahead of <strong>Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/strong> because of a better <strong>net run rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, with <strong>eight matches left<\/strong>, Hussey believes CSK can still make it into the <strong>top four<\/strong> by the time the league phase ends. After the big loss to <strong>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/strong>, he said, <em>\u201cWe\u2019re not giving up yet. In a long tournament like the IPL, it\u2019s all about gaining momentum. If we can turn things around and win a few games, anything can happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/10\/sai-sudharsan-%e0%a6%9a%e0%a7%81%e0%a6%aa%e0%a6%9a%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%aa-%e0%a6%8f%e0%a6%95\/\">He admitted that CSK have not been playing good cricket lately and accepted the team&#8217;s poor form<\/a>. But he still believes there\u2019s time to bounce back. <em>\u201cMomentum can shift quickly in cricket. We\u2019re working hard, and if we get a few wins, confidence will come back,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#hussey-warns-against-too-many-changes-in-ipl-2025\">Hussey Warns Against Too Many Changes In IPL 2025<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#join-e-2-bet-for-exciting-games-big-wins-daily-bonuses-play-now-and-experience-nonstop-fun\">\u201cJoin\u00a0E2Bet\u00a0for exciting games, big wins, &amp; daily bonuses.

The players have reached the IPL by playing in their own style, and we don\u2019t want to change that completely,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people have criticized CSK for depending too much on <strong>older, experienced players<\/strong>, and not giving chances to <strong>young talents<\/strong>. But Hussey disagreed. He said that even players in the <strong>later part of their careers<\/strong> like <strong>Shane Watson<\/strong> and <strong>Ajinkya Rahane<\/strong> have done really well for CSK in the past. He still believes the current group has plenty to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the young players, Hussey explained that they are <strong>waiting for the right time<\/strong>. He said the team is still trying to win and doesn\u2019t want to play youngsters just for the sake of it. <em>\u201cWe\u2019ll play them when they\u2019re ready to make an impact,\u201d<\/em> he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also showed confidence in <a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangla.com\/2025\/04\/12\/ipl-2025-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>head coach Stephen Fleming<\/strong>, <strong>captain MS Dhoni<\/strong>, and <strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/strong><\/a>, who will stay with the squad even though he\u2019s been ruled out due to injury. Hussey praised the leadership group and believes they will keep the team strong during these hard times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, he made a request to the fans: <em>\u201cWe know it\u2019s tough right now, but we still believe in our team. The CSK fans have always been amazing, and we hope they continue supporting us. The players are hurting and want to turn things around not just for themselves, but for the fans as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"join-e-2-bet-for-exciting-games-big-wins-daily-bonuses-play-now-and-experience-nonstop-fun\">\u201cJoin&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/\">E2Bet<\/a>&nbsp;for exciting games, big wins, &amp; daily bonuses.
