‘Dimaag Nahi Chal Raha Hai Kya’: Manoj Tiwary’s Explosive Take After CSK Loses 5th Consecutive Match

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced a crushing defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on their home ground. CSK struggled to score runs and witnessed a middle order collapse following which they could only set a target of 103 runs. KKR dominated the match throughout with Sunil Narine (3 wickets), Harshit Rana (2 wickets) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2 wickets) completely ripping apart CSK’s batting lineup.

After the match, former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary didn’t hesitate and raised questions over CSK’s performance. He directly questioned why MS Dhoni didn’t use purple cap holder Noor Ahmad early in the game.

Manoj Tiwary Points Out MS Dhoni’s Mistake

“From hereon CSK’s cart is going to go downhill. It seemed like that from the last three-four matches. You see the shot selection of the players, after playing form 20-25 years, you get to realise what can happen. I couldn’t understand some things. Your Purple Cap winner is Noor Ahmad, but when did he come to bowl? In the 8th over. And in the first ball itself, he scalped the wicket of Sunil Narine.

“Naturally, the cricket sense tells you that if the opposition spinners are doing so well, then you have the Purple Cap winner, why not bring him early? Generally MS Dhoni does not make such mistake. I have not seen it in so many years. Why it happened today, maybe it is worth knowing,” Manoj Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.

“Dimaag Nahi Chal Raha Hai”: Says Manoj Tiwary

“Why do they not go to the drawing board early? I think, it is obvious that you re-asses after a loss. But some things that are taking place is beyond my understanding. Like, when Ashwin was bowling today, earlier to all the left-handers he bowled round the stumps, but today he bowled over the stumps. I became very easy for Sunil Narine. These small things…when you have such an experienced player and wicketkeeper like MS Dhoni? Unka kahi na kahi Dimaag nahi chal raha hai kya (Have their brains stopped working)?”
