Former Australian star weighs in on CSK’s poor run

Chennai Super Kings are in the midst of a dismal run in the ongoing Indian Premier League, suffering their fifth consecutive defeat in what is becoming a frustrating season for the team. As they continue to tumble, former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke has weighed in on CSK’s predicament, urging the team to take a drastic approach to salvage their campaign. Clarke believes that CSK are down on confidence. 

“(The) wicket looked quite tough to bat on. There was a little bit of movement with the new ball and certainly some spin. I think Chennai Super Kings got their plan wrong,” JioStar expert Clarke said.

“The way they went about it, it's clear they’re down on confidence and their intent… well, there was no intent. At the moment, it seems like a very conservative approach, just trying to get close to winning or avoid a big defeat. Instead, they should throw it all on the line, risk everything, and try to win the game. That kind of change is easier said than done,” he added.

In their match against KKR on Friday, CSK were restricted to their lowest-ever IPL total (103) at Chepauk. KKR, on the other hand, were brilliant across all departments, sealing an eight-wicket win.
