IPL 2021: Ashish Nehra “It is no secret that CSK is one of the best sides in the IPL”

Former Indian left-arm seamer Ashish Nehra has expressed that Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) noteworthy return to create in IPL 2021 is least shocking as they have continuously been a winner side.

Final season, CSK failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs for the primary time. Within the first half of IPL 2021, they made a strong statement, and were at No. 2 within the points table, with five wins from seven games, when the event was suspended.

Analyzing CSK’s performance within the first half of IPL 2021, Nehra told Cricbuzz that the franchise’s fightback was on anticipated lines.

“It is no secret that CSK is one of the best sides in the IPL. Nobody knows better than CSK and MS Dhoni how to lift a team that is down and out and builds it again. There were many reasons why CSK struggled in the UAE last year. One of their key players, Suresh Raina, was not there. Also, they missed a trick by not focusing on having at least one good fast bowler. Josh Hazlewood played only three matches,” Nehra said.

The former pacer pointed out that CSK recognized where they went wrong final season and adjusted their mistakes.

“CSK has rectified the error with regards to fast bowling this time with Lungi Ngidi. He has not played all the matches but he has been in the mix. Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo played a lot together earlier. But considering his age, Bravo cannot be expected to do the same job as he was doing earlier. Dhoni and CSK have understood that Bravo cannot bowl four overs at the backend anymore,” he added.

Nehra opined that CSK is a class team since they are adaptable and flexible with their thoughts and actions.

“Look at Dhoni himself. He knows that at the age of 40, he cannot hit sixes as frequently as he used to do at his peak. That is why he is sending Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran ahead of him. This is the specialty of the team,” Nehra elaborated.
