Manoj Tiwary criticized Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for their plans against Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Sunil Narine. In a recent match, Narine hit Ashwin hard, scoring 44 runs off just 18 balls, even though CSK struggled to reach 103 runs, their lowest score ever at home. Ashwin, who cost CSK INR 9.75 crore, has not performed well, allowing too many runs and taking only five wickets with a high economy rate.
Tiwary pointed out that Ashwin’s strategy against Narine was poor. He said, “Why don’t they rethink their plans? Ashwin bowled differently today than before, making it too easy for Narine. With someone as experienced as Dhoni behind the stumps, I’m surprised they didn’t come up with a better plan.”
KKR chased down the small target in just 10.1 overs, with Narine hitting five sixes. CSK now faces tough times as this was their fifth loss in a row. Tiwary also expressed that if CSK doesn’t change its approach, things will only get worse, mentioning that their Purple Cap winner, Noor Ahmad, didn’t bowl until the eighth over, despite taking a wicket on his first ball.
