Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey admitted that his side was outplayed by Rajasthan Royals in their opening match of Indian Premier League 2026.

The match, held in Guwahati, saw CSK struggle against disciplined bowling from Rajasthan Royals, especially on a pitch that had been under covers before the game. Hussey noted that the conditions provided early movement for bowlers, making it difficult for CSK batters to settle.

Despite the loss, Hussey remained optimistic about the team’s prospects in the tournament. He expressed confidence that the batting unit would adapt quickly and deliver significantly improved performances in the upcoming matches.

Rajasthan Royals capitalized on the favorable conditions, executing their bowling plans effectively and putting CSK under pressure from the start. The defeat highlights areas of concern for CSK, particularly their approach against seam movement in challenging conditions.

The IPL 2026 season has just begun, and teams are still adjusting to different pitches and combinations. CSK, known for its experience and resilience, is expected to bounce back strongly as the tournament progresses.
