Four mistakes Chennai must avoid if they are to defend their title

3. Using inexperienced bowlers in crunch situations

The Indian T20 League is bound to come up with some close finishes. What matters in those situations is how calmly a bowler executes his plans.

With Deepak Chahar not available till mid-April, Chennai will be short of experienced options in the intense moments. Dhoni will be tested as to how he manoeuvres his prime weapons like Bravo in these situations. Dhoni is known to back new talents and give youngsters freedom and confidence to express themselves. But this year, he needs to be shrewd in how he uses his youngsters throughout the tournament. A bad move can cost Chennai a big way.
