New Delhi, Jun 27: Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis, has said that IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK), comprises of a really calm dressing room and have many ‘thinking cricketers.
Du Plessis has been an integral part of the CSK and has performed consistently for the team.In his five season with the team, the Protea batsman has amassed over 300 runs in each year.
”There is a confidence in the CSK dressing room that someone will pull it through for us, and on each occasion, it is someone different. The guys share the load in winning games, it is a confidence thing by doing it again and again,” du Plessis told Pommie Mbangwa during an Instagram chat.
”With Chennai, my experience there has been that of a calm dressing room. There are a lot of thinking cricketers in the dressing room,” he added.
During the interaction, du Plessis also compared the CSK to Manchester United of old time, who used to score winning goals in the dying minutes of the match. He said that just like Man Utd in those days, CSK can also win matches from any situation.
Chennai has won the IPL three times (2010, 2011, and 2018) and all the title wins have come under the leadership of MS Dhoni.
CSK are the only team to qualify for the IPL playoff stage in each edition of their appearance in the league. Besides, they have also won the Champions League T20 tournament in 2010 and 2014.
The IPL’s latest edition was slated to begin from March 29, but it has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly wrote a letter to all state associations, stating that the cricket body is looking to host the tournament this year.
Speculation is rife that the tournament could be hosted in October-November this year if the ICC decides to postpone the T20 World Cup. (Agencies)
