‘The Captaincy Was Quite Weak’: Sehwag Questions CSK’s Tactics Amid Tight Playoff Race
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings endured a seven-wicket defeat against Lucknow Super Giants in their previous outing, and former India opener Virender Sehwag did not hold back while analysing the tactical decisions made by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.
After being put in to bat, Chennai posted 187/5, a total that appeared competitive on a good batting surface. However, Lucknow made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 16.4 overs thanks to an explosive start from openers Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis.
The pair dominated the Powerplay, taking apart CSK’s pace-heavy attack and racing to 86 without loss in the first six overs. Chennai relied on seamers Mukesh Choudhary, Spencer Johnson, and Anshul Kamboj early on, while left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein remained unused after the side brought in Gurjapneet Singh as the Impact Player.
