Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey, on April 27, put it down to the dew factor as to why the CSK spinners haven’t been able to come greatly into play at its home ground in the ongoing IPL season.
“I think in the last few matches, the dew has been a challenge for the bowlers. Our game and our game plan has been based around spin over many years. We have always had good spinners and spinning conditions here.
“So, with the dew, then sometimes that takes the spinner out of the game. I mean, just the other night (against LSG), the spin bowlers were finding it very difficult to hold the ball. They couldn’t get any spin on the ball. It was just getting on nicely under the bat. So, it makes it very challenging.
