Chennai Super Kings lost their recent game to KKR. It comes down to the batting department’s failure to set up a big score. In this regard, CSK could make a minor tweak before they step into the playoffs, although they have officially not done it. On that note, here, we take a look at one bold decision CSK should take for their next game against Delhi Capitals
One bold decision CSK should take against Delhi Capitals
Ajinkya Rahane’s form has dropped after his brilliant start to the campaign. It appears that the opposition bowlers have found a way to dismiss him, thereby limiting the Mumbai cricketer’s contributions. This will be a big loss for CSK because Rahane is playing at No.3, a position that actually belonged to Moeen Ali at the start.
Just to change things around, CSK could look to alter their successful opening combination of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. Maybe, they could try Conway at No.3 and have Rahane and Rutu open the batting. It would be a massive call if the management changes the opening combination. However, this is a way to get Rahane back to form. Going into the playoffs, it is a key box that the team needs to tick. Hence, it is a bold decision if CSK does manage it.
A crucial match for MS Dhoni and Co.
Meanwhile, a lot of things would have been clear by the time CSK plays Delhi in the next few days. However, for CSK’s campaign going forward, it will be vital for them to pick the two points against DC.
It would firstly help them get to the Top 2 spot, depending on the results of the other teams. Also, it would improve the confidence of the side and will keep them in good moral ahead of the playoffs.
