CSK and KKR Plan Strategic Rebuilds Following IPL 2025 Challenges

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) struggled in the 2025 IPL with poor batting performances, particularly in powerplays and against spin, leading to a focus on rebuilding their batting lineup for 2026. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), after finishing eighth in 2025, are undergoing a strategic overhaul with a new coach and a reshaped squad blending experienced players and emerging talent to adapt to evolving T20 demands. Both teams aim to address weaknesses and adjust tactics ahead of the next season.
