IPL 2018, KXIP vs CSK: 5 reasons why CSK lost

#3 Dhoni’s strange tactics

Ravindra Jadeja is not sure about his role in the team currently. Dhoni does not show the same old interest in his bowling abilities and he bats too much down the order to play as a specialist batsman.

Today he was not trusted with the ball even when the faster bowlers were struggling. The slower bowlers managed to bring the run rate down but even then Dhoni did not opt for Jadeja.

Similarly, it was baffling to see Watson not complete his quota of 4 overs, when he had bowled 2 tight overs and had even got the big wicket of Chris Gayle.
