“Important for us to get the right combination for next year”: MS Dhoni
In the wake of a crushing nine-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians on Sunday at Wankhede, CSK’s stand-in captain, MS Dhoni, has voiced a sense of optimism. Despite the team’s dismal performance, Dhoni remains hopeful that CSK can still make it to the playoffs. However, Dhoni emphasised the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture.
“What we need to realize is that we are successful because we play good cricket and at the same time when we are not playing good cricket what is important is not to get too emotional about it and at the same time you want to be practical. There have been instances, one of the seasons I think 2020 has not been great for us but we need to see whether we are playing the right form of cricket, whether we are applying ourselves," Dhoni said after the match.
"With all the games in front of us that we are supposed to win, we will just take it one game at a time. And if we lose a few, what will be important for us to get the right combination for next year.”
"We don't want too many players getting changed. So, I think what will be important is to try and qualify. But if not, get a secured eleven for the next year and come back strong."
Apart from winning their remaining matches, CSK will also need to rely on other results to go their way. Meanwhile, their next clash is against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
