Is it a strategic mistake by CSK opting to bowl first after winning the toss??
At this stage of IPL, not only the points but the run rate also will play a vital role in making any team enter the playoffs, run rate will be just as important as points.
If GT goes all out for a mere 100+ runs and forces CSK to chase it defeats the point. Or, as it happened, if GT posted a high score on the scoreboard and asked CSK to chase, it would immediately put pressure on CSK's batters! I think CSK should bat first instead of bowling!
Alternatively, if they batted first and put in a competitive score, that would have increased CSK's run rate and put GT under pressure.
What are your views on this point?
