Chennai Super Kings will introspect long and hard about decisions at critical moments
Questions will be asked about some of the decisions taken in the thrill-a-minute IPL final of twists and turns here on Sunday.
Shane Watson conjured up a blinder of an innings when it mattered but did he suffer a brain fade while going for a second run offthe fourth delivery of that dramatic last over?
Watson had squeezed a Lasith Malinga yorker to deep point and set for a run. But to everyone’s surprise, he wanted a second. Ravindra Jadeja was initially not keen, however. Watson wanted strike, and his partner gave in.
Suicidal
It was always going to be hard for Watson, not at his fittest, to complete the second run. He was caught short of the crease. It was a suicidal second run.
Now Watson could have refused the single and backed himself to unleash the winning blows off the final two balls. Or, he could have been content with a single and allowed Ravindra Jadeja, a compelling strokemaker, to take strike and close out the game.
