Dhoni said in the last match that they are giving others chance and see which combinations will be good for the next season. Their main focus is on that and not on winning. And CSK not giving chance to new players - it is true. Dhoni and co. have been so proud of being daddy's team. No doubt 10 years ago they introduces players, who has been huge part of India squad. Thakur and Deepak are bowlers. But it has been long time since they have introduced young batsmen. CSK only have Ruturaj. Rest are 25+ players. CSK have not been producing new players, who can carry on the legacy of CSK. All the core players are 30+ and are counting their days. it should had been in their mind when they went into this year auction. The bowling department seems promising with young/fresh bowlers but the batting not good.
But CSK's job is not to produce new players
Rather they refine and makes their players shine that they go on to play for India
Ashish Nehra had a comeback to Team India at around 38 or something yrs and played WC, after he became part of CSK.
Rayudu was able to give his name for team India.
CSK mostly had foreign openers, and their middle order was always about Raina, Dhoni or one or other person.
We got Chahar and Shardul and let's hope we get even a better version of Mukesh and Simarjeet.
Sehwaag has said in Cricbuzz or something that how Shardul used to the most expensive bowler when he was associated with Punjab and he never thought he will go on to play for India and be a match winner.
I feel CSK should have taken thode beech beech ke players
Either they have old players or they have who haven't ever played International Cricket.
