CSK vs RCB IPL 2025: Mike Hussey, who is the batting coach of Chennai Super Kings has reckoned that they are not going to panic even though they might be knocked out from the IPL 2025 playoffs race and that the brilliant performances of some young players have been the bright spot for them this season. They have won just two matches of the 10 that they have played till now and are thus lying in the last position in the points table.
“We’re certainly not going to panic and throw everything out just because it hasn’t gone well this year but we need to tidy up on a few areas," Hussey told reporters during the pre-match press conference.
Hussey revealed that the MS Dhoni-led side does still have the ability to play against any team during the ongoing season but dismissed the fact the team couldn't dominate the opponents during a few close matches.

“I know we’re sitting at the bottom of the table and we haven’t won many games. But I don’t think we’re too far away. We have got some match-winning players in that line-up. We can compete with any team in the competition. I can think off the top of my head probably three games that they would have won and they’d probably be sitting somewhere right up near the top four. I mean, there’s fine margins in this competition," he said.
But Hussey did emphasise the bright spot of their campaign like some brilliant performances by younger players like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis.
“It’s a great opportunity for some guys to get a chance to play in the IPL. Hopefully, they can grab their chances and shore up their spot in the squad for the next few years. “A few wins and a few players who have taken their opportunities, that would be fantastic by the end of the season," he concluded.
