What is the biggest problem that CSK faces this season?
“What was the idea of picking Ashwina today? Get two goals and win a match. But what did he do?
“It didn’t matter to CSK at all. Mi (Bombai Indians) were also sensible, they took away singles. You have to understand the situation of the match, the IPL situation – and mix accordingly,” Sikkanth said.
R Ashwin picked up only five goals in seven trips this season.
At the beginning of the tournament, Srikkanth asked how Ashwin used CSK. He said, “Do not let him with regard to Ashwin, but stop him in bowling in PowerPlay. Between 7 and 18. Through, it can be effective. With Jadeja and Noor Ahmad, they can easily promote at least 10 overs.”
Srikkanth also claimed that the CSK season was over and should start building for the next season.
“Dhoni has already started talking about the next season. This means he’s quite frustrated by the performance of this team. He was right that the boys had to own and do something fantastic. Where he lost CSK in the auction itself. If you choose players as Sam Curran, Tripathi, Hood, how can you win matches?” Srikkanth said.
