Fine Tuning the Chennai Super Kings Team

Chennai Super Kings is a good side. But there are some issues which needs to be taken care of. When we’re winning, everything seem to look perfect but only when we lose, we can be aware of the shortcomings we’ve.

Here’s some issues I feel we need to focus on and do something about it…

A Better Playing 11

Why is Joginder Sharma playing? He can’t bat and field. He bowls medium pace and is so-so with it. Coming to Parthiv Patel. He was chucked out of the Indian Team after given a lot of time to prove himself. In the 6 matches he played, baring 2-3 good starts, didn’t fire as much as he should’ve.

We need to be looking at P Amarnath in lieu of Sharma. Some local lad should replace P Patel.

Slow Run Rates and Modest Targets

Though we won against Bangalore and Mumbai, I feel we were lucky to scrap through. In all the 6 matches we didn’t score well in the power play. It’s during the last 5-6 overs, we saw some action.

Any one of the opening batsmen should go after the bowling. During the course of the 20 overs, we should see a target of 190-200 runs.

Win Toss and Field First

Dhoni wins the toss, bats first and we lose or get scrap through. The match where we fielded first (against Kolkata), we won comfortably with 9 wickets.

Some small corrections needs to taken care of like the ones above, fielding, etc.. Otherwise we’re a good side and will reach the semis.

Good luck against Deccan Chargers. Hope we’ll win the tie.
