Three reasons why Chennai failed to win Indian T20 League 2022

MS Dhoni has been a prime reason for Chennai’s success over the years. While his leadership qualities are still adored by all, he is just a shadow of himself with the bat in hand. His performances this season were also a big reason for Chennai’s miserable run in the season.

3. MS Dhoni’s miserable strike rate in the middle overs: In the 13 innings that MSD batted this season he scored 232 runs at a strike rate of 123.40. While these records look at par, his strike rate in the middle-overs is just 76.40.

His slow scoring rate in the middle overs let the oppositions strangle the Men in Yellow and thus in most of the matches they failed to reach a formidable score or chase down an achievable target. MSD’s slow batting in the middle overs is a prime reason Chennai failed in their campaign in the 15^th edition of the Indian T20 League.
