Former India -opener and selector’s Srikanth Wankhed Stadium was not influenced by the bowling performance of veteran spinner R Ashwin during the loss of nine wickets of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Mumbai Indians.
Srikanth said on his YouTube channel ‘Cheeky Cheeka’, “What is Ashwin doing? He has become completely defensive.”
“He is not looking to take wickets. It’s so,” Let me go through these four overs. ” He never went to take a wicket.
“What was the idea of choosing Ashwin today? To get two wickets and win the match. But what he did? He safely bowled in the powerplay.
Srikanth said, “It did not matter to CSK at all. MI (Mumbai Indians) was also intelligent, taking them singles.
R Ashwin has taken only five wickets in seven outings this season.
At the beginning of the tournament, Srikanth questioned how CSK used Ashwin. He said: “In relation to Ashwin, don’t leave him, but stop him from bowling in powerplay. Between the 7th and 18th over, he can be effective. With Jadeja and Noor Ahmed, they can easily bowl at least 10 overs.”
Srikanth also said that the weather for CSK is over and they should start construction for the next season.
“Dhoni has already started talking about the next season. It means that he is very disappointed with the performance of this team. He was right to say that people themselves have to do something and do something magnificent. Where CSK was lost, if you choose players like Sam Curan, Operton, Tripathi, Hooda, how can you win the match?” Srikanth said.
