'Athleticism and Fielding Could be Biggest Challenge facing MS Dhoni's CSK', Reveals Bangar
|| Desk Report ||
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has recently revealed that MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will not face any problem in their batting or bowling department in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), but said that they could face issue in fielding.
His comments came as CSK has plenty of players above 30. However, Bangar said that their experience will certainly help them but their athleticism could be an issue on the field as well.
"MSD as a captain, I know has a lot of experience, he has other experienced players as well, but how will he adjust these experienced players on field is what I am eager to watch. I do not think there will be any challenges he will face during batting or bowling with respect to these experienced players,” Bangar said on the Cricket Connected Show on Star Sports.
"The most challenging aspect will be considering the T20 format is based on athleticism and fielding plays a vital role in this format, how will he manage his senior players placing them on the field. I think this will be the most challenging part as a captain for him," he further added.
CSK are considered as one of the best teams in the history of the league with three IPL trophies. Even they reach the final of IPL 2019 but lost to Mumbai Indians in a nail-biting game by only one run.
On the other hand, CSK will not get the service of their key players - Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh who have pulled out their names from the league for personal reasons. And, CSK will begin their campaign against defending champions Mumbai in the tournament opener on Saturday.
