With Chennai Super Kings: With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) nearing the end of one of their most forgettable IPL seasons since the tournament’s inception, head coach Stephen Fleming stated that his team is very aware of the opportunity of finishing their campaign on a strong note and aim to salvage some pride.

With tenth-placed CSK eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago, the only real interest for their match against ninth-ranked Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday at a neutral venue – the Arun Jaitley Stadium - is who will become the wooden spooners of IPL 2025, something which both teams would be keen to avoid.

“One thing is the players that represent Chennai in the next two games will be very proud. The opportunity to finish the season well is really important to us. We had a good win in the last game, and we reflect back on past seasons where it hasn't gone that well for us.”
