Jadeja came they faced similar fate.. Last season few wins few misses.. This year same streak continues..
Last season CSK did pretty well considering the fact that Pathirana, Mustafizur and some others left the squad for national duty.
Our batting was dependent on Dube for hitting too, we had Daryl Mitchell at 4 and constant changes in opening pair.
This year it was supposed to be good because everyone thought we replaced Theekshana with Ashwin who's more experienced and have knowledge about the conditions at Chepauk. Khaleel for Chahar was really change. Noor was a good pick.
Ashwin is definitely good in terms of cricketing knowledge and analysis but CSK overspent on him.
