CSK Weeks
Importantly, one of the important weaknesses of the CSK team in the IPL 2023 series is still unknown. Deepak Sagar is back from injury. But he still hasn’t returned to full rhythm. Also, Ben Stokes, who has not fully recovered from his injury, is still unable to bowl properly. Both Tushar Desh Pandey and Rajavardhan Hungrekar are bowling. But among them, only Rajvardhan gives hope.
Bowling
Considering all this, the past bowling attack of CSK team is very bad. CSK failed to score 178 runs in the first match against Gujarat. If Moeen Ali and Chandaner are not present in the match against Lucknow, CSK team will definitely lose. CSK team struggled to score 217 runs. In the 11 overs left to bowl by the spin bowlers, the pass bowlers of CSK conceded only 142 runs, in which only 2 wickets were taken.
Salvation
Some may say that the Chepauk ground is not suitable for fast bowling. However.. CSK team’s past bowling was below average. This is CSK’s problem but there is another issue that is giving Dhoni sleepless nights. That is the no ball and wide balls bowled by CSK bowlers. CSK bowlers bowled 16 wides in the last two matches. They bowled 12 balls against Lucknow alone. Also they have put 5 no balls. 3 of them were bowled against Lucknow. This is why Dhoni became stern and warned that if this happens in the next match, they will have to play under a different captain.
The match is over
After the Lucknow match, both former West Indies fast bowlers Ian Bishop and Sunil Gavaskar visited Dhoni. He has been advised to control no milk. The players are given advice on running training. Dhoni and the two bowlers bowl well for this. But putting no milk is not acceptable. He replied that he would fix it. Dhoni is also planning to punish them if they throw a no ball.
