Chennai Super Kings suffered their third defeat in four matches as they failed to defend a modest total of 162 against Punjab Kings in their home bastion at Chepauk. Four of the five losses for CSK this season have come batting first – these include three matches where they haven’t posted even 180. In a tournament where bat is dominating the ball and run-rates and team totals are soaring at an all-time high, is CSK’s batting approach sometimes a tad too conservative?
