SRH captain Pat Cummins’ decision to withdraw the obstructing the field appeal raised questions about tactical calls and sportsmanship in cricket. Mohammad Kaif questioned whether the decision would have been the same if the batsman involved was someone like Virat Kohli.
Mohammad Kaif, however, said: “Two questions to Pat Cummins on withdrawing the obstructing the field appeal against Jadeja. Was it a tactical call to let a struggling Jadeja be the crease and keep Dhoni indoors? Would he have done the same if it was Virat Kohli at World T20?”
But some social media users praised Cummins for his stand too.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced a tough challenge against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as they could only manage to score 165/5 in their 20 overs. Despite several notable contributions, CSK struggled to accelerate their innings on a pitch that didn’t offer much assistance to the batsmen.
In-form Shivam Dube emerged as the top scorer for CSK with a blistering 24-ball 45. His aggressive batting style and ability to find the boundaries at crucial moments provided CSK with the much-needed momentum. The highlight of CSK’s innings was the 65-run partnership between Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane for the third wicket. Their aggressive yet calculated approach helped CSK build a competitive score on the board.
Ravindra Jadeja provided the much-needed impetus to CSK’s innings with an unbeaten 31 off 23 balls. His cameo at the end ensured that CSK reached a respectable total despite the middle-order collapse.
Sunrisers Hyderabad put up a collective bowling effort to contain CSK’s batting lineup. Bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pat Cummins, T Natarajan, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Jaydev Unadkat picked up crucial wickets to restrict CSK to a manageable total.
CSK’s batting struggles against SRH highlighted the challenges of adapting to different pitch conditions in the IPL. While individual performances like those of Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja provided hope, CSK will need to address their middle-order woes to ensure consistent performances in the tournament.
