CSK Take Another Hit Ashwin Slams Team Calls

CSK took another punch, and Ashwin was not amused. On Friday in Chennai, Punjab Kings chased 210 in 18.4 overs to hand Chennai Super Kings a second straight IPL 2026 defeat. Ashwin questioned the team’s calls, from leaving out Jamie Overton and Matthew Short to barely using Prashant Veer. A messy night. A very messy night.

Quick rundown

CSK’s season has started with two straight defeats and plenty of questions.
Punjab Kings chased 210 like it was a casual warm-up jog.
Ashwin was not impressed with CSK’s team selection or tactics.
Prashant Veer got a pricey contract but barely got a bowling cameo.
CSK now head to Bengaluru with the table looking very unfriendly.
