The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fell to their second consecutive defeat in India Premier League (IPL) 2025, registering a six -run defeat against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati. The story was almost similar to the previous game, since the hitters, Ruturaj Gaikwad, did not give the blind again.

After the conclusion of the game, CSK’s captain made an ironic comment about the opening problems of his team. Rahul Tripathi has not been able to do his job as a starter, which has forced Gaikwad to come as a starter.

When asked about the batting in No.3, he exclaimed that he can take care of the overs medium when passing under. However, it doesn’t matter since it has arrived too early in tickets anyway.

“Over the years, Ajinkya hit at 3 years, and Rayudu was taking care of the media.

One of the key reasons behind Ruturaj’s degradation was his superior turn batting experience, which could be more than useful, especially in home games. This also allows Rahul Tripathi to exploit field restrictions and play his elegant cryket to provide rapid beginnings from the top.

Unfortunately, the plan has not worked, since Tripathi has been suffering an abysmal career with the willow. The opening means CSK in IPL 2025 Read: 11 in 1.4 overs, 8 in 1.2 overs and 0 in 0.4 overs in three games, respectively.

Collectively, CSK openers have added only 19 races to a mediocre average of 6.33 in three tickets and scored at an execution rate of 5.18, the worst among the ten pairs of opening the ten teams. Tripathi has seen the sea against the movement and the hard ones, and the opposition has been intelligent enough to point to its weak areas to keep it quiet.

Then, Gaikwad’s frustration is understandable, since he has sacrificed his preferred batting place for him, but the results have not been desirable. Given Rahul Tripathi’s limitations against the ball in motion and hard lengths, CSK could be tempted to throw Ruturaj Gaikwad as a starter and let him wove great blows, since he is the only batter who has inspired confidence in the first three games.
