CSK bowlers have been guilty of bowling multiple wides and no-balls in this IPL. Even against RCB on Monday, they bowled six wides.
Legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag said that if this continues like this then the day is not far when Dhoni will face a suspension due to repeated slow over-rate offenses.
“Dhoni was not looking happy because he has mentioned it before that he wants the bowlers to reduce the number of no-balls and wides. CSK had bowled two-three years of extra and against RCB, they bowled another extra over. It shouldn’t go to a stage where Dhoni gets banned and CSK has to take the field without their captain.
“It is especially disheartening to see the spinners bowl wides. These are things under your control,” he said.
Terming CSK’s bowling attack ‘weak’, Sehwag said that if CSK is unable to sort this out quickly then it will make their life difficult going ahead in the tournament.

“I’m saying from day 1 that CSK’s bowling is weak. They need to work on that department. But what more can they do? They will have to use whatever resources they have this season. The bowlers have to be more accurate. If look at their performance against RCB, they have bowled 30-35 dot balls so they didn’t let RCB score a run in six overs. Despite that, they ended up conceding 218 because they leaked far too many sixes and fours,” he said.
