"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.
Speaking on the development, Tendulkar said that it was the right step under the circumstance to reschedule the tournament.
Lara added that West Indies as a team would be worried about facing Australia and India at the T20 World Cup scheduled to be played later in the year.
Brian Lara, also a former West Indies captain, stressed that a result would keep people's interest in the longer format of the game.
Bangar will be featuring for the India legends team in the Road Safety World Series beginning on Saturday.
The opening match of the tournament will see India Legends fight it out against West Indies legends at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday.
