CSK need restructuring before next IPL: Ajit Agarkar

NEW DELHI: Former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar believes Chennai Super Kings, who didn't have a great outing in IPL 2020, need a "little bit of restructuring" ahead of next year's Indian Premier League. CSK, three-time IPL champions, failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time and ended at the seventh spot in the group stage.

"I think there are a couple of teams, CSK certainly need a little bit of restructuring," said Agarkar while speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Connected. Recently, cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra also said that CSK should release MS Dhoni if a mega auction takes place ahead of 2021 IPL.

Meanwhile, Agarkar also said that he wants to see Kolkata Knight Riders, who have a lot of match-winners, perform more consistently in the next season.

'...the one team I hope plays better or play a bit more consistently is KKR. I think KKR certainly has a lot of match-winners in them or T20 specialists if you like. They should be doing a lot better," said Agarkar.

"There were in better positions, changed the captain for some reason midway through and you could see that there was something not right in the camp. I think it has happened before as well and somehow, they scrapped through to the playoffs," he added. (IANS)
