IPL 2020: Virender Sehwag Criticises Chennai Super Kings Strategy Against SunRisers Hyderabad
Oct 3, 2020 at 4:33 PM
Virender Sehwag, former Indian cricketer, has criticised Chennai Super Kings captain, MS Dhoni, for his strategy to face SunRisers Hyderabad which cost them defeat.
While chasing the target of 164 runs, CSK made a slow start while losing their middle-order cheaply. MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja tried to pull things off for CSK but fell seven runs short. As a result, they lost their third game consecutively.
Virender Sehwag praised SRH while lashed out on CSK’s brain Dhoni. He said that the Chennai was trapped in their own strategy by Hyderabad.
“Yesterday’s match was a face-off between brains and brawn. It was ‘The Rock’ Warner vs ‘Big Brain Gabbar’ Dhoni. They say, both brains and brawn are required to win any battle but yesterday, Hyderabad’s warriors using only brawn demolished Chennai’s strategies,” Virender Sehwag added.
Did the Chennai Test Kings think they were at net practice? Virender Sehwag:
The former Indian opener lauded the two youngsters Priyam Garg and Abhishekh Sharma for setting match-winning 77 runs partnership while called out CSK for thinking that the young guns were not competitive.
“Chennai’s senior team must have thought that Hyderabad’s top 4 scorers were gone, when these 2 youngsters (Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma) came to bat, ‘What could these kids possibly do?’. But these kids were amazing, they cut Chennai down to size,” he added.
Virender Sehwag was utterly disappointed for CSK’s attitude in the field and questioned whether they were doing net practice.
“Chennai, who are known for their cool attitude, turned out to be fools in their own plan. Did Hyderabad win the match or did the Chennai Test Kings think they were at net practice?” Sehwag questioned on the 5th episode of his web show Viru Ki Baithak.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings are languishing in the last place on the points table with one win from four games. This is the first time that CK has lost three consecutive matches since the 2014 IPL season
