‘Each groups have proven a stubbornness to modify the batting order’ – Sunil Gavaskar on MI, CSK’s struggles in IPL 2025

The Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Tremendous Kings (CSK) had been having a horrible 2025 season. Former India opener Sunil Gavaskar shared his perspectives at the two groups and what has long gone fallacious for them in IPL 2025 which has resulted in a large number of inconsistent performances.

CSK are recently on the backside of the desk whilst MI are 7th, which has stunned the fanatics so much since each those groups are probably the most a hit franchises within the match with a blended 10 titles. Former 1983 Global Champion Sunil Gavaskar said that it’s the stubbornness of either side to make some important adjustments of their batting order that has resulted in such underwhelming performances mentioning the problems with Ruturaj Gaikwad within the yellow jersey and Tilak Verma within the blue.

“Each groups have proven a stubbornness to modify the batting order that isn’t generating runs for them. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has made a reputation for himself with lots of runs as an opener, had prior to his unlucky damage, dropped himself to bat on the fall of the primary wicket. Now, why would a skipper do this until he’s out of shape and the opposite openers are batting beautifully and are in a lot better shape than he’s in. That isn’t the case, and so invariably when he went into bat, the Chennai group had misplaced a wicket within the Powerplay and he needed to be just a little watchful and within the procedure a large number of dot balls will be the end result,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid Day.
