CSK coach said – We just have to play fast: Dhoni not going out to bat is part of the strategy; Chennai is a table topper

Currently, MS Dhoni's batting order in Chennai Super Kings is number-8.

Chennai Super Kings coach Michael Hussey said that the team's strategy at the moment is to score fast runs in batting. Whoever is going on the pitch, they have to attack with the first ball. That is why against Gujarat, Shivam Dubey and Sameer Rizvi hit a six on the first ball itself.

On the other hand, former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has not come out to bat even once. On this, Hussey said that the team has depth in batting, hence Dhoni is not getting a chance to show his ability.

CSK has made a strong start in the IPL and has won 2 matches in the tournament so far. The team is on top of the points table with 4 points and defeated last season's finalists Gujarat Titans on Tuesday.

Dhoni did not get batting because of impact player
Batting coach Hussey said in the press conference, 'Dhoni's batting order was reduced so low only after discussion with head coach Fleming (Stephen). With the introduction of impact player rule, every team plays extra batsman and extra bowler. There has been depth in the batting order. That's why we have kept MS Dhoni at number-8, Dhoni is batting well in the nets at the moment.

Former CSK captain MS Dhoni has not been able to bat yet in the 17th season.

CSK playing with new batting approach
Hussey further said, 'Due to such deep batting, players have been given free rein to attack. If the top order batsman has even a little confusion, all he has to do is attack. Even if he is out, he will get the support of the coaching staff but he should not stop attacking. Fleming has only one thing to say, we just have to play fast and keep playing like this.

Rizvi and Dubey hit six on the first ball
On Tuesday, against Gujarat Titans, 4 CSK batsmen batted with a strike rate of more than 200. Rachin Ravindra scored 46 runs on 20 balls, Shivam Dubey scored 51 runs on 23 balls and Sameer Rizvi scored 14 runs on 6 balls. The strike rate of all three was more than 200. Ravindra Jadeja also scored 7 runs on 3 balls. CSK coach is talking about this attacking strategy.

Sameer Rizvi scored 14 runs on 6 balls in the very first match of IPL.

CSK made the second best score of the season
Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans by 63 runs on Tuesday. Batting first, CSK scored 206 runs in 20 overs, which is the second highest score of the season. KKR had scored 208 runs against Hyderabad on Saturday.
