XtraTime Web Desk: Former India opener Virender Sehwag has taken a cheeky dig at Chennai Super Kings as he asked the MS Dhoni led side to have some “glucose” before the start of the match. Sehwag made this comment after CSK faced a 44-run loss against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday.
“Chennai ke batsman simply not getting going. Glucose chadwaake aana padega next match se batting karne,” Sehwag tweeted.
CSK were unable to chase down the total of 176 against Delhi and were restricted to just 131/7, suffering a 44-run defeat.
Dhoni once again came out to bat at number six. He walked out in the middle with CSK reeling 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 said at the post-match presentation.
