The CSK’s batting coach Mike Hussey explained that the team remains determined to secure victories in all upcoming matches before playing PBKS at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The IPL points table positions CSK in the last spot holding four points along with a -1.302 NRR. Out of 9 matches the team has secured two victories and suffered seven losses. According to Hussey this season presented distinct challenges because many players gained their moments while the plans did not materialise accordingly. The cricketers Rachin Ravindra and Deepak Hooda received his appraisal because they kept working hard to develop their abilities although they did not get selected for match competitions.
