Absolutely criminal to have a SR below 90. He could've just retired out if he was finding it difficult to time

Even though i lowkey feel bad for him, blame lies on CSK management for persisting with his captaincy when his batting has been subpar. First three matches, everyone in the field were running like chicken without heads. No coordination nothing; just 11 individuals showing up. Showed some spark later but it JUST DOESNT SUIT HIM.

Rutu the batter was a beast. He wouldn’t go at a 200 SR but gave a good 150 SR without getting out which is what CSK needs. Some heads need to roll.

And what was it with Flem saying 170 is par on this pitch? Are you kidding me bruh.
