Aakash Chopra also questioned the need to bring in Jamie Overton in place of Sam Curran and feels that it wasn't needed at all. Overton didn't face many balls to make an impact with the bat and also conceded 30 runs in just two overs that he bowled.

"CSK, I do not like your playing XI one bit. You are making changes, but change is not necessarily progress. You dropped Sam Curran and played Jamie Overton, but you got Overton to bowl only two overs. The truth is that you need to address the problem in your batting. It is not getting addressed. It once again came to the fore," reckoned Chopra.
"Noor Ahmad was amongst the wickets again. (Matheesha) Pathirana was outstanding. Khaleel (Ahmed) was very, very good, but Overton conceded 30 runs in his two overs. Why are you playing Overton? You shouldn't play him," he added.
Aakash Chopra on CSK's dismal batting
"Ruturaj Gaikwad played a captain's knock at No. 3. He hit a six and the ball went out. There was a slight delay and he got out to the first ball after that. That really dealt them a serious blow. Ravindra Jadeja scored runs but was going much slower than what was required," he observed.
After Gaikwad was dismissed, the onus came upon Jadeja and Dhoni to finish off the game. But Dhoni got out in the last over and Ravindra Jadeja was unable to take his team past the finish line.
