CSK’s Powerplay Struggles in IPL 2025

Chennai Super Kings have managed to hit only 5 sixes in the Powerplay overs this season. In stark contrast, the top team has smashed 37 sixes—that’s 7 times more than CSK.

It gets more embarrassing:

• 2 out of CSK’s 5 sixes were hit by 17-year-old debutant Ayush in the last match.

• Meanwhile, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi—yes, 14—has already hit 5 sixes in just 2 matches (32 balls faced).

To put things in perspective:

• CSK has hit just 13.51% of the sixes compared to the top team.

• The average number of sixes in Powerplays among the other 9 teams is 22.78—that’s over 4 times more than CSK.

• Compared to this average, CSK’s output is a mere 21.95%.

PATHETIC. No power, no intent, and apparently no shame either.
