"I would give him the players he wants and focus on the next few years. It's tough and I am never going to point my finger at Kohli who gives everything on the field. They could have played better cricket and finished at either No. 1 or two. Things might have been different."
"Experience is Chennai's major asset. The two openers (Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis) are doing the business but they also have the experience of playing these important playoff games and that could come in handy. MS Dhoni and his brains and his thinking are going to come good,"
Three-time champions CSK sit bottom of the points table and have failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in the 13-year history of IPL.
Rishabh Pant has been in good form in the ongoing edition of the cash-rich tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and has scored 171 runs.
KL Rahul, who is currently leading Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, has scored 302 runs -- including one hundred and two half-centuries.
During the course of the interaction, Lara also labelled Holder's leadership as 'critical' and stated that it is not nice that Holder has not been handed the captaincy of the side for a prolonged duration.
West Indies had famously beaten England 2-1 during the previous series between the two sides that was played in the Caribbean Islands. A draw in the series would be enough for them to retain the Wisden trophy.
Tendulkar then said that the boy has a bright future considering he is going to learn from the "one of the greatest batsmen in the world."
Brett Lee said that Sachin Tendulkar edges Brian Lara in the race for the greatest batsman, but Jacques Kallis was the "greatest complete cricketer."
