CSK Need To Tune Up Slightly Ahead Of IPL 2021 Playoffs: MS Dhoni
KL Rahul played a captain’s knock of 98*,PBKS defeated CSK by 6 wickets
Mumbai: Ahead of the 2021 IPL playoffs, Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels the side needs to tune up ‘slightly’, as the team has lost its last three games.
During the post-match presentation, Dhoni said, “You have to cope (when it comes to mental skill aspect) up with that. We had played very good cricket to reach the playoffs stages. We had a few bad games two out of three and one we felt like we could have come back and that’s part and parcel in leagues like these, you have to be at your best.”
Dhoni added, “Motivation is not a factor, the guys are highly motivated and maybe we need to tune up slightly as to what needs to be done and also a few tosses if they had gone our way.”
“It would have looked worse winning toss and batting on that wicket and I felt the wicket changed a bit, it was a bit challenging but it was a good wicket,” Dhoni added.
PBKS Skipper KL Rahul played a captain’s knock of 98* as they chased the target of 135 in just 13 overs. After defeating CSK by six wickets on Thursday, PBKS improvised their net run rate, and now has a chance of making the top four. They need a big favour from RR (Rajasthan Royals) though, in the evening game, the hope remains.
Only two batters reached the double-figure mark for PBLS as Shardul Thakur scalped three wickets for Chennai and Deepak Chahar returned with one.
