CSK batsmen think it's a govt job
Former India opener Virender Sehwag has taken a dig at Chennai Super Kings' faltering IPL campaign, saying that some of their batsmen think of the franchise as a “government job” in which remuneration is assured irrespective of performance. Chasing 168 vs KKR, veteran opener Shane Watson struck his second successive fifty to give CSK a perfect start on Wednesday, but the team choked at the back end of the innings and was restricted to 157 for five to suffer its fourth defeat in five matches. “It should have been chased down. But the dot balls played by Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja didn't help,” Sehwag told Cricbuzz. “And, in my view, some of the Chennai Super Kings batsmen think of CSK as a government job, whether you perform or not, they know they'll get their salary anyway,” he added.

Former India cricketers Manoj Tiwary, Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Saradindu Mukherjee have been named in the Bengali commentary panel for the ongoing IPL and will go on air from October 10. The commentary will be available on Disney + Hotstar for all IPL games from October 10. “As someone who has been a part of previous seasons of the league, I am really excited to be back as a commentator,” said Shukla in a release. Tiwary added: “Who better to commentate the game than someone who has been there and done that! I am thrilled to be part of this years' league as an official commentator. With matches now being available with Bengali commentary, I am sure that people will enjoy watching it more than before.”
