Michael Hussey, the coach of the Chennai Super Kings, stated that the team's current batting approach is to get runs quickly. The first ball must be attacked by the player taking the field. That's why Sameer Rizvi and Shivam Dubey smashed a six off the first ball of the match against Gujarat.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the previous captain, hasn't even batted once, though. Hussey responded by saying that because the squad has depth in the batting lineup, Dhoni isn't having an opportunity to showcase his skills.
Having won two of the first two games of the IPL, CSK is off to a great start. On Tuesday, the squad defeated the Gujarat Titans, the runners-up from the previous season. With four points, CSK is at the top of the points table.
Since Dhoni is an impact player, he does not receive batting privileges.
'Dhoni's batting order was cut so low only after discussion with head coach Fleming (Stephen),' bats coach Hussey stated in the news conference. Since the impact player rule was implemented, each team is required to play an extra bowler and batsman. The batting order has been deep. Because MS Dhoni is now hitting well in the nets, we have maintained him at number eight.
"The players have been given free rein to attack due to such deep batting," added CSK Hussey, who is using a new batting strategy. All the top-order batsman needs to do is attack if he is even somewhat confused. The coaching staff will be behind him even if he is sidelined, so he shouldn't give up on attacking. Fleming just has one thing to say: We just need to keep playing quickly like this.
Dubey and Rizvi scored six from the opening ball.
Four CSK batters batted with a strike rate greater than 200 on Tuesday against the Gujarat Titans. Shivam Dubey scored 51 runs on 23 balls, Sameer Rizvi scored 14 runs on 6 balls, and Rachin Ravindra scored 46 runs on 20 balls. Each of the three had a strike rate exceeding 200. Moreover, Ravindra Jadeja scored 7 runs off three balls. The coach of CSK is discussing this offensive tactic.
The second-best score of the season was scored by CSK.
The Gujarat Titans lost to the Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday by a score of 63 runs. With the bat, CSK amassed their second-highest score of the season with 206 runs in 20 overs. On Saturday, KKR had amassed 208 runs against Hyderabad.
Chennai won the first match against Bengaluru by 6 wickets prior to Gujarat. CSK has won two of their last two games to earn four points. As a result, the squad has ascended to the top of the points chart.
