“Dhoni was not looking happy because he has mentioned it before that he wants the bowlers to reduce the number of no balls and wides,” Sehwag stated on Cricbuzz.
“It shouldn’t go to a stage where Dhoni gets banned and CSK has to take the field without their captain.”

The four-time IPL champions had leaked 18 runs in extras towards Lucknow Super Giants earlier and Dhoni had warned them to chop down on extras or be able to “play under a new captain”.
“Dhoni has said earlier too to restrict wides and no balls. And to bowl six wides, is really disappointing,” Sehwag stated.
Seamer Tushar Deshpande conceded three wides to proceed his poor run within the IPL, however Sehwag was furious with their spinner Maheesh Theekshana for bowling large.

“It’s really disappointing when you bowl so many wides, especially by a spinner. At least they should control their wides.”

A knee harm to Ben Stokes implies that the English stalwart is unable to bowl. CSK’s assault can be stricken by accidents to Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary and Sisanda Mangala.
“I’ve been saying from day one Chennai is thin on bowling. It’s their weak link. They have to focus on their bowling. They have to manage with this, they will have to bowl better, execute better,” Sehwag stated.
Sehwag additional identified that CSK bowlers had 37 dot balls, however regardless of that, RCB went on to attain 218/8.

“So it meant the runs were scored in 14 overs! They (RCB) almost reached the target because they were hitting in fours and sixes.
“CSK bowling should buck up and produce out the very best in them, execute their plans correctly. Be it yorkers, slower ones. They may even have to enhance a bit in fielding,” he said, referring to their four dropped catches.
