Matthew Hayden disagrees with Mrs. Dhoni’s view that CSK must be conservative in PowerPlay after their crushed loss of KKR in Chepauk on Friday, April 11. KRK KKR CSK in front of their home crowd to ensure a comfortable victory in 8 goals, because Chennai remained in the lower half of the points.
CSK scored only 31 runs in their powerplay exceeding when they looked conservative, an approach that Dhoni prevented after loss. Hayden, when he talked to Jiohotstar, disagreed with Captain CSK’s comments and felt they gave out the advantage on the day.
CSK vs Kr, IPL 2025
Hayden felt that CSK had to get into the zone where they really led from the front.
“I really felt like it was a goal of 180 or more. I looked at the surface. It looked like a good surface. It was hard black soil and you know, you will hear Mrs. Dhoni’s talk about powerplay. What happened that it is exactly what happened to be over 30 series.
“30 is often more than five times the advantage you can afford to give up in IPL. Often they are 4 or 5 runs. KKR’s Last Match, lost with LSG, lost 4 runs, so it is so important, I believe CSK will get into this area where the tournament is catching up,” Hayden said.
“Missing you if you play catching up”
Hayden feels that CSK has enough good players in its ranks. They feel that if CSK is still conservative, then players like Shivam Dube and Dhoni on the back are under pressure and are forced to play catching up.
The former Aussie opener feels that in such cases there are chances that the team will catch, high.
“They have quite good players. Being conservative, they also cut their sharp men and sharpshooters like Shivam Dube and Mrs. Dhoni itself, who is so much pressure on the back and you have to play catching up.
CSK is now traveling to Lucknow to face LSG 14th April.
