'Never Been Involved In...": CSK Coach Sums Up IPL 2023 Playoffs Race

Ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey expressed that he has never seen any tournament which has such a tight and intense points table.

And hoping, but there's a lot of hard work to be done before," CSK batting coach said ahead of the match.

Praising Shivam Dube, Mike Hussey said that he is a unique talent and has got phenomenal power to hit it out of the park.
