Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has cited the reason behind Chennai Super Kings (CSK) managing to brave crunch situations more often than not. He said that the reason behind that is MS Dhoni as he’s utterly cool and never gets carried away.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are having a great time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. They have stepped on the pressure situations and have displayed some staggering brand of cricket, batting, and bowling decently.

After suffering a disappointing loss in their opening game against Gujarat Titans (GT), they made a strong comeback and went on to thump Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in their next two games. They then suffered a narrow defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) but made a strong comeback and thumped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their recent game.

Sunil Gavaskar feels that CSK players don’t feel much pressure as MS Dhoni is their captain and although he stares at them for drop catches, he never puts them under pressure. Speaking to Star Sports, he said:

IPL 2023 | India National Cricket Team | Chennai Super Kings (CSK) | Delhi Capitals (DC) | Gujarat Titans (GT) | Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) | Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) | Mumbai Indians (MI) | Punjab Kings (PBKS) | Rajasthan Royals (RR) | Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) | SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH)

“Players don’t feel much pressure when MS Dhoni is leading the side. He’s utterly cool and that helps. He stays in the moment and never gets carried away. Yes, he gives them some stares once they drop catches or miss the field but he never puts them under pressure. That is the reason why CSK manage to brave crunch situations more often than not.”
