thebalanced.newsCSK Revives Noor Ahmad's Bowling and Eyes Playoff Spot with Upcoming Matches
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have shown improvement in the IPL, with key efforts to revive leg-spinner Noor Ahmad's bowling under MS Dhoni and coach Sridharan Sriram, helping him regain his leg-break delivery after injury and form issues. Meanwhile, former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin highlighted CSK's recent wins and stated that if they defeat Lucknow Super Giants in both upcoming matches, they are likely to qualify for the playoffs. CSK's campaign started slowly, partly due to decision-making challenges and Dhoni's absence from matches so far.
