R Ashwin's YouTube channel has decided to halt coverage of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) matches for the remainder of the IPL 2025 season. This decision follows controversy stemming from comments made by guest Prasanna Agoram, a former data analyst for South Africa and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Agoram criticized CSK's acquisition of Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad for ₹10 crore, suggesting the team should have prioritized a batsman instead. The ensuing social media backlash led to the removal of the video. An official statement from the channel emphasized their commitment to maintaining the platform's integrity and clarified that guest opinions do not reflect Ashwin's personal views.
