CSK face harsh criticism for not addressing ‘playing XI’ problem after back-to-back loses: 'It once again came to fore'

Chennai Super Kings faced harsh criticism after they lost their second consecutive match on Sunday in the ongoing IPL season. The lack of firepower in the batting line-up was exposed in CSK's last two matches, where they had to chase 180-run-plus targets. The loss at home against Royal Challengers Bengaluru forced the CSK think tank to make a couple of changes for their Rajasthan Royals clash, as Sam Curran and Deepak Hooda missed out. “Why are you playing Overton?” Overton, who came in place of Curran, got to bowl just two overs in which he leaked 30 runs and scored an unbeaten 11 runs off 4 balls.
