IPL 2025: 3 changes CSK should make ahead of their clash against RR 

The Chennai Super Kings are all set to lock horns against the Rajasthan Royals in the 11th game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on March 30th at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag. They have one win and one loss from the two matches they have played so far and aim to mark their second win of the tournament in this game.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and his men head to this clash after suffering a 50-run defeat against RCB. They showcased a horrendous batting performance and conceded many runs in this clash. In the same vein, here are the three things that CSK needs to change for their clash against RR.

CSK needs to revamp their batting order

The CSK side needs to revamp their batting unit. The side needs to reintroduce New Zealand opening batter Devon Conway alongside Rachin Ravindra after Rahul Tripathi failed to make his impact in the first two matches. Conway was the highest run-getter for their side in IPL 2023, having racked up 672 runs. He is one of the most explosive opening batters, and his aggressive style and a great start might help the side. In addition, Sam Curran seems extremely inconsistent this time.

CSK needs fielding improvements

The CSK side needs a lot of improvements. They have conceded many runs and even dropped the RCB skipper Rajat Patidar’s catch in the last game. They need to showcase their tactical acumen and pragmatic approach during their fielding. If CSK manages to showcase their brilliance on the field, they might end up conceding fewer runs alongside taking early wickets in the game.

CSK needs solid leadership skills from Ruturaj Gaikwad

The stylish right-handed batter needs to showcase promising signs as a skipper. The side conceded many runs and dropped the catches in the last game. In addition, the side needs to explore more pace options. The star batter needs to engage with their former skipper, MS Dhoni, to learn some tactical insights, which might help them to get wins.
