After the game versus KKR, Manoj Tiwary blasted CSK’s IPL 2025 performance. Even after losing four straight games, the former Kolkata player questioned CSK’s capacity to adapt.
Tiwary was unable to comprehend some strategies and choices. While working against the left-handed batters, he pondered what Ravichandran Ashwin was thinking. In addition, he was perplexed as to whether Chennai had adequately planned and prepared for their games following a defeat in the current IPL season.
“Why don’t they start over at the beginning? I believe it goes without saying that you reevaluate after a loss. However, there are some things going on that I don’t comprehend. For example, Tiwary was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying, “When Ashwin bowled today, he bowled over the stumps instead of rounding them as he used to do with all the left-handers.
The former Indian player believed Sunil Narine could easily handle Ashwin’s bowling. Even with someone like Dhoni in their dugout, he noted that little things like that had an impact on CSK’s performance and questioned whether the think tank went insane following a string of defeats.
For Sunil Narine, it got really simple. These minor details…when you have a player and wicketkeeper with MS Dhoni’s level of experience? Do their brains no longer function? Tiwary was asked.
Tiwary believes that following KKR’s loss, CSK will decline.
In addition, following the defeat against KKR, Manoj Tiwary believed that CSK was on the verge of a decline. The 2012 IPL champion chastised Dhoni for his choice against KKR. In addition, he questioned the hitters’ shot selection and the decision to use Noor Ahmad, CSK’s season-best bowler, in the eigth over of the game when KKR had almost won the match.
“CSK’s cart will start to decline from this point on. From the previous three to four games, it appeared that way. After 20 to 25 years of tennis, you know what might happen when you see the players’ shot selection. Some things were beyond my comprehension. Noor Ahmad won your Purple Cap, but when did he show up to bowl? in the eighth over. Additionally, he removed Sunil Narine from the game with the very first ball,” Tiwary said.
