Dhoni takes OFF, csk provided with poor practice pitch

Skipper MS Dhoni skipped training as Chennai Super Kings players had their customary net session on ‘really slow practice wickets’ as some of the players found out. CSK players practised in two batches and some of them weren’t really amused to find that the practice wickets laid out for net sessions were really slow in nature. ’This is not a conducive wicket for having a decent knock. The ball is taking ages to come onto the bat. I think this is not even good enough for the fringe players like us to bat on. So you can imagine that the first XI boys won’t be too happy with this strip,’ one of the reserve players commented. When DDCA curator Venkat Sundaram was asked about the nature of the practice pitches, he said, ’There is absolutely no problem with practice wickets. May be, they wanted to have a hit in one of the centre wickets but that is not allowed prior to the match day.’
