MS Dhoni may well play his last competitive match in the national capital today and there will be a sea of yellow jerseys in his support. Will that inspire Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to notch up a much-needed win over Delhi Capitals (DC) and make it to the Playoffs without relying on the results of the other matches?
CSK would not have been in such a precarious position had they got a chance to defeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a match that was washed out when they were on top. Or for that matter, not lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their previous game in Chennai when they were doing so well. As the situation stands, if they defeat DC on Saturday, they will be through. Else, they will have to keep their fingers crossed till the final league match on Sunday.
No reason to panic
CSK coach Stephen Fleming was confident of his team’s chances despite recent setbacks and said that they will not press the panic button. Instead, they will focus on the players who have been doing well. “We’re second on the table. It’s not our style to chop and change just because we’ve had a loss where things didn’t go our way. We won’t do that. We might tinker with it but we’re very focused on getting the right team for Delhi,” Fleming said.
