IPL 2025: The 18th season of the IPL is not going as expected for CSK. The performance of the five-time champion team has been very disappointing. The team started the season with a win but has since faced defeat in three consecutive matches. This season, batting has emerged as a weak link, especially while chasing targets for CSK.
After their defeat against Delhi, team coach Stephen Fleming was asked about Ashwin’s YouTube channel, which took him by surprise. Ashwin also runs his own YouTube channel, and in the latest video, three panelists were seen criticizing CSK.

‘I don’t know anything about this’
When Fleming was asked about this matter in the post-match press conference, he responded, “I don’t know anything about this. I don’t even know if he has a channel on YouTube. I don’t follow all these things. These are all baseless things. You people are important.”
One of the panelists on Ashwin’s channel also stated that Noor Ahmed should not have been selected in the mega auction. However, he is currently the highest wicket-taker for the team this season, having taken 10 wickets in 4 matches and holding the Purple Cap.
