  • Resumen

  • After a win against LSG in Lucknow, MSD & Co looked listless in Wankhede yesterday with Chennai Express getting derailed by an all out assault from Rohit & Sky. However, a 9 wicket loss is rather more attributable to defensive and mindless bowling by bowlers amid dew. The way Khaleel did not even appeal for lbw on a delivery bowled to Rickeltin showed a clear lack of intent worsened by Dhoni's clear tactical miss. Rohit's well known vulnerablity against incoming, full deliveries against pacers early-on was never exploited by anyone. Rather, the bowlers kept bowling short deliveries to him which were duly dispatched for sixes. Sky's weakness against slower cutters, too, was never used. Instead, the bowlers kept bowling full to him on his legs consistently and he kept sweeping them outside the park. The surprising tactical moves to bring in Ashwin, instead of Kamboj, as impact player amid incoming dew and not letting his best bowler so far, Noor, to come into play till the 9th over, were simply unfathomable. So, the bowlers let the team down as 176 was still defendable (as PBKS has shown how to defend 113 against RCB simply with self belief). As a die-hard MSD fan and CSK supporter, it is so heart wrenching to see your heroes go down humiliatingly like this. Let's look at what could MSD & Co could do going forward:- 1 Leveraging youth in powerplays: Rachin, Rashid and Mhatre should be encouraged to go all-guns blazing early-on for that blazing start from the outset. Ruturaj to replace any one of them next year. 2 Middle Order to be beefed-up: Dube and Conway at number 4 & 5 need to anchor and build the innings during the middle overs for the finishers to follow. Conway to replace Vijay Shankar who has been given enough chances. 3 Additional Finisher: Play Sam Curran largely for his batting prowess as a finisher along with Dhoni and Jaddu. He also adds bowling variety to the attack, especially with his precise Yorkers and cutters on flat tracks. Simply a couple of bad games early-on does not mean banishing him for the entire season. He needs to replace Overton who brings nothing much in bowling and is a less capable batter than Curran who can quickly score useful 25-30 runs off 8-10 deliveries. 4 Bowling Attack: Khaleel and Kamboj as frontline bowlers have looked decent with Kamboj clearly showing significant promise. Noor & Jaddu need to stick to their strengths and bowl slightly slower & vary pace to be more effective, especially on flat tracks. MS should also use Rachin as the third spinner (rather than Ashwin), which the NZ team always dies, at least for an over or two. It also would engage Rachin better and involve him into the game as currently he looks sidelined. Pathirana desperately needs to work on his accuracy and use bouncers & change of pace effectively as he is becoming too predictable. Curran would be the fourth pace bowler in the attack which could be used as required and as per conditions. This would add bowling variety while also providing options with 7 bowlers. 5 Lastly, bowling and fielding coaches have to pull-up their socks' and need to work on formulating and preparing specific, customized bowling plans for the opponents' batsmen based on analysts' inputs. The fielding coach needs to really push the players as CSK this year have been the worst fielding team having dropped the maximum number of catches. There is simply no point in crying over the spilled milk now that the team is almost out of the tournament this season. However, it's rather time for CSK to instead play fearless cricket through the rest of the season while also trying out new players and combinations for future as per outcomes, as MSD also said. Remember, on the field, no defeat is ever fatal and no victory is ever final...Like MSD himself said long ago, "Don't blame others, improve yourself"...it's time for CSK to do exactly that...
