MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have constantly been under the pump since their second game of the season.
Beating the defending champions, Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2020 opener was the only positive for them for the first few games. Since then, the champion team has looked out of color throughout the tournament.
The Men in Yellow have not been able to score freely this season with the exception of their opener Faf Du Plessis. Especially the middle order batsmen like Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja have scored at almost a run-a-ball this season.
This has not gone down well with the CSK fans. It has also given the non-CSK fans an opportunity to take a dig at the side filled with cricketers who are just not able to break free.
