Chennai Super Kings (CSK) need more than just MS Dhoni to win in IPL 2023. They need consistency and quality. In their match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), CSK struggled because their middle-order batters did not perform well. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway did well, but Ravindra Jadeja and Dhoni had too much to do at the end. The middle-order must click for CSK to chase down challenging totals.
Against RR, Conway and Ajinkya Rahane did well, but Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, and Ambati Rayudu did not perform. Even Dhoni’s charisma and finishing power were not enough as CSK fell short by three runs. CSK needs more than just Dhoni’s magic to perform consistently. The fans and faith are not enough to win matches.
Dhoni is a strategic genius, but with a dodgy middle-order and a middle-of-the-pack bowling attack, he needs more support to see CSK perform well. The fans may believe that Dhoni can do everything, but that may not always be the truth. In IPL 2023, CSK needs more consistency and quality to win matches.
