Chennai Super Kings are unstable as a squad even after eight games because of injuries and players coming and departing. Head coach Stephen Fleming stated that they are still searching for the ideal lineup.

Chennai Super Kings could not win against Lucknow Super Giants even with a total of 210 runs. Lucknow won the match with three balls in hand where in the last 5 overs, they needed a mammoth 74 runs. 

Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana could not join the team due to injury in the beginning. Although he returned to the team after recovering from injury, another pacer Mustafizur Rahman will not be with the team after two more matches and will return to Bangladesh .

"We've got another change coming up with Mustafizur [leaving] in a couple of games. So, we're just trying to prepare and get a side that will give us the run home. We've had injuries, we've been a little bit unsettled, but the main thing is getting guys in key areas and in form. That sometimes takes a bit of time. Yes, there has been more change; some were forced upon us and some of it is form,” Fleming said.

Out of eight matches, Chennai Super Kings have won four and lost the same number of matches. Chennai Super Kings are fifth in the points table with eight points.
