5 strategical mistakes made by CSK in IPL 2022

1. Dropping Devon Conway after a single appearance

The New Zealand top-order batter, Devon Conway, has been consistent in terms of his performances across all the formats of the game. In 20 T20Is, he has garnered 602 runs at an average of 50.16 and has been remarkable for New Zealand in the last couple of months.

In three ODIs, Conway has amassed 225 runs at an average of 75, while he has accumulated a total of 767 runs in seven Tests. His stellar records certainly prove his adaptability in different forms of the game and can contribute to the team with his fine composure and solid technique.

However, CSK dropped Conway after the IPL 2022 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) where he could only muster three runs off eight balls. Veteran opener Robin Uthappa was promoted to open the innings alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad. But, the move didn’t reap rewards for the side. Robin Uthappa managed only 28 runs in his last two innings as Chennai’s poor run continued in the tournament.
