Chennai Chennai Super Kings’ season continues to swing frustratingly out of rhythm, with its campaign hitting another bump following a home defeat to Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 on Sunday. In a tournament where momentum is everything, CSK has found itself chasing it more often than having it.
Head coach Stephen Fleming acknowledged the side’s inconsistency, while also pointing to the challenging surface and demanding early conditions that made stroke-making difficult. “It’s definitely a tough one. Batting was extremely challenging; it looked difficult even from the outside,” Fleming said.
