IPL 2020: ‘Take glucose for increasing intensity’, Sehwag’s swipe at CSK players

New Delhi: Taking a dig at poor performance of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag on Saturday said that Dhoni’s boys require some glucose to improve their performance on the field.

Sehwag’s dig comes a day after CSK suffered a humiliating 44-run losss to Delhi Capitals in IPL face –off on Friday.

“Chennai ke batsman simply not getting going. Glucose chadwaake aana padega next match se batting karne,” Sehwag tweeted.

CSK was unable to chase down the total of 176 against Delhi and was restricted to just 131/7 stumbling to a 44-run defeat.

Dhoni, despite facing fire over his late entry in field, again came out to bat at number six, and he walked out to the ground with CSK at 98/4 in the 16th over.

After the match, even skipper MS Dhoni admitted that the side was lacking steam in the batting department.

“I don’t think it was a good game for us. The wicket did slow down a bit, there was no dew, but I think we are lacking steam in the batting department. We need to figure that out. The break in the next seven days is the best chance we could get: give them match simulation and look for the right balance,” Dhoni told host broadcaster Star Sports after the match.

CSK has played 3 matches in the IPL 2020 so far and has won only 1 match against Mumbai Indians.

Even in the match against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni-led CSK had to endure severe criticism for the approach they took while chasing a target of 217.

Dhoni-led team will now now lock horns with SunRisers Hyderabad on October 2 at the Dubai International Stadium.
