IPL 2022: 'Cannot look too far ahead' after string of losses, concedes CSK batting coach Michael Hussey

Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey has conceded that the team cannot look "too far ahead", given that the defending Indian Premier League (IPL) champions have lost six of the nine games this season and are currently ninth on the points table, just above Mumbai Indians. The four-time IPL champions' campaign has floundered, chiefly because of the inconsistent batting at the top of the order, and they would be looking to put it across Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MCA stadium here on Wednesday when the teams clash for the second time this season. Hussey, who is a long-timer with CSK -- previously as a player and now as batting coach, would be eyeing a second win against RCB after winning the opening encounter against them in the 'Southern Derby' by 23 runs last month. CSK had then put 216 on the board.
