IPL 2022: They Have Catching Up To Do But They Know How To Make A Comeback - Sunil Gavaskar On CSK's Campaign

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar still feels that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have a shot at turning their campaign around and catching up with the other teams despite their poor start.

CSK has 3 wins in 9 matches and is currently placed in the ninth spot on the points table. Their qualification hopes rely on them winning each and every game from hereon all the while maintaining a good net run rate.

“They have a lot of catching up to do but they are a team that knows how to make a comeback. We saw what happened with KKR last year. When the tournament was being held in India, KKR were nowhere in the picture.”

“But in the UAE, they won just about everything and went into the finals. So things can turn around in a jiffy in this tournament,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

Sunil Gavaskar explains why Rahul Tewatia is called the ‘Iceman’

Gavaskar went on to explain the manner in which Gujarat Titans (GT) all-rounder, Rahul Tewatia, handles himself on the field while batting, which has led to him earning the moniker, ‘The Iceman’.

“Reason why call him the ice-man is because he just stands there (at the crease) and shows no signs of shrugs or whatever. He’s composed, he’s anticipating the deliveries and knows which shots to play.”

“In his mind, he’s ready that if the ball is (landing) there, he’s going to play his favorite shot. And when he middles (the ball), it’s always a six. That’s what makes him the ice-man because he’s not ruffled at all (with the situation),” Gavaskar added.
