According to reports, the team management is expected to address the team's loss in form.

R Ashwin drops huge hint Taking to X, one fan joked that if CSK do replace Fleming as CSK head coach, then it shouldn't be Ashwin. The fan hilariously remarked that the former India player would announce his playing XI on his YouTube channel before the match.
Ashwin responded to the fan in his own original way. "Absolutely agree with you! I will announce 11 and make sure the opposition know the bowling and batting plans as well", he wrote.
"In fact, the above will ensure that the anti corruption unit will take me to task & will also ensure my own failure.
"Do you even know the rules? Where exactly are you coming from?"
