Chennai Super Kings off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a bold stand in the middle of IPL 2025. Ravichandran Ashwin has announced that he will not share any content related to the Chennai Super Kings on his YouTube channel for the rest of the season.
The former Indian all-rounder took that bold call after a controversy erupted following one of Chennai Super Kings’ games in the ongoing IPL 2025.
Actually, a video posted on Ashwin’s channel, where former South African analyst Prasanna Agoram questioned CSK’s decision to pick Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad ahead of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

After the video went viral on social media, it received a lot of backlash, eventually leading Ashwin to delete the video from his YouTube channel. Things escalated when CSK head coach Stephen Fleming was asked about the clip after their loss to Delhi Capitals.
The CSK coach dismissed the issue, calling it irrelevant, and claimed he wasn’t even aware of Ashwin’s YouTube presence. Now, Ashwin has made it clear that he will stay away from any discussion or analysis involving the Chennai Super Kings for the rest of the IPL 2025 season.
In his lengthy note on his YouTube channel, Ashwin stated: “Given the nature of the discussions on this forum over the last week, we want to be mindful of how things can be interpreted and have chosen to step away from covering CSK games, both previews and reviews, for the rest of this season.”
Ashwin further said, “We value the diversity of perspectives that come through on our shows and remain committed to ensuring the conversation stays true to the integrity and purpose of the platform we’ve established. The views expressed by our guests do not reflect Ashwin’s personal opinions. We appreciate all those who engage thoughtfully with the spirit of the show.”
