Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni indicated that the time has come to focus on rebuilding the team for the next season. Dhoni’s remarks came after a crushing defeat against Mumbai Indians (Mi) on Sunday. In this match, CSK lost by 9 wickets and this team remains at the bottom in the team points table.
Talking immediately after the match, Dhoni told the reason for the defeat to the bad batting in the middle overs. He said that CSK batsmen took too long to score fast runs in the first part of the innings. The CSK team could score only 175 runs at the high-scoring ground in Wankhede.
Dhoni said, “We were quite down in the score.
He further said, “There were some overs where we could score a little more runs. We needed those runs. 175 is not a good score with dew.”
Dhoni also said that the team should accept its mistakes and rectify them. He also suggested that if CSK does not win the next few matches, he should start the identity of the suitable players for the next season.
Dhoni said, “We have to understand that we are successful because we play good cricket. But, when you are not playing good cricket, there is no need to be emotional. 2020 was not good for us. We have to see if we are playing the right way cricket, are we applying ourselves correctly.”
