CSK have been one of the most consistent teams in the IPL. The main reason behind it is that the team’s batters show a lot of intent. They give their 100% on the field and ensure that the run rate is maintained throughout the innings.
However, every good batter has an off day as well, where he struggles to score runs. Even the CSK batters have had such bad days in the office. In this listicle now, we will look at the five such slowest knocks by a Chennai batter in IPL.
(Please Note: Minimum 10 balls played in an innings only considered)
5. Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa played two seasons for CSK – 2021 and 2022. In 2022, he struggled to get going against the new team Gujarat Titans and managed only 3 runs off 10 balls before losing his wicket.
4. Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav annoyed many CSK fans in IPL 2020 with his slow knocks and defensive approach in the T20 format. Jadhav scored 3 off 10 in a match against SRH during that season.
3. Parthiv Patel
Parthiv Patel was a member of the Chennai Super Kings squad from 2008 to 2010. During a match against the Rajasthan Royals, Patel failed to get going and scored only three runs from 11 balls.
2. Slowest knock by an Indian CSK batter in IPL – Murali Vijay
Murali Vijay was one of the most stylish openers of his time. He was known for his clutch performances in do-or-die matches. However, Vijay had an off day against Deccan Chargers, where he scored only three off 14.
1. Slowest knock by a CSK batter in IPL – Rachin Ravindra
New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra created an unwanted record in the IPL earlier tonight. Playing against Delhi Capitals in Vizag, Ravindra got out for just two runs off 12 balls at an embarrassing strike rate of 16.7.
