‘Dhoni ko bas…’: Fleming, Bravo end silence on CSK’s explosive strategy. Cricket
Chennai Super Kings’ third defeat IPL 2023 Last evening in Jaipur when they failed to chase down 203 against Rajasthan Royals. Chennai Super Kings Once again they relied more on their middle order than the captain and paid the price for their questionable tactics. M S DhoniDespite being in prolific form, the likes of Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja have for some reason remained down the batting order. Last evening was the perfect opportunity for CSK to turn things around in a tense situation, but it could not happen. CSK lost by 32 runs despite a 46-run partnership between Dubey and Jadeja.
The defeat left CSK fans upset, with many questioning the decision of not sending Dhoni up top, to which CSK coaches Stephen Fleming and Dwayne Bravo gave interesting answers. The former New Zealand skipper, who has been with the franchise since its inception, pointed out that CSK has a certain set of roles assigned to everyone in the team and it is a wrong practice to follow them in a twisted way to make exceptions.
“Set roles are very important. (Ajinkya) Rahane has been great for us at No.3. We don’t mess with things that are going well. slap down.” ball. We couldn’t get any real momentum in the first six overs. Devon Conway, who has been in fine form, could not carry on. The pace of the innings was slow. When we tried to get hold of the game, we made mistakes,” he said during the post-match press conference.
Bravo also shared his two cents on the matter, revealing that with this potentially being Dhoni’s final IPL season, the CSK skipper is more than happy to sit back and expose the youngster to such high-pressure scenarios. The biggest positive to come out of this mindset is Dube, who started IPL 2023 with a 18-ball 19 and was criticized for it, but has since scored 236 runs in 8 matches, including one on the bounce. Including three fifties and a maximum of 95 runs. Out against RCB.
“That’s the position for him to bat. Everyone is batting above him and he takes that responsibility and ownership on himself so that he can bat lower down the order because the likes of Jadeja, Rayudu and Dube, he’s got these guys. Wants to give as much as possible to. opportunities as possible. “He is happy just playing the finishing role,” Bravo said at a press conference.
“CSK’s morale is very high, and it has nothing to do with results. We are a team that is very level-headed in general, whether we do well or not. But it’s always better when we do well.” Keep doing it. As of now, we have started the season on a positive note and we just have to keep the momentum going and keep winning cricket games. Tomorrow’s game against RR is going to be a very tough game.
