    "editor1": "Chennai Super Kings: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes Chennai Super Kings lacked experienced and calm voices on the field to guide Anshul Kamboj during a difficult spell against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday.<p>Kamboj had a forgettable outing as Mitchell Marsh smashed him for four consecutive sixes in one over during his explosive 90 off 38 balls. The young pacer eventually conceded 63 runs in 2.4 overs as LSG chased down 188 in just 16.4 overs to win by seven wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking on ESPNcricinfo\u2019s TimeOut show, Rayudu said CSK missed experienced players who could have stepped in and helped Kamboj reset mentally during the attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI feel the CSK side, when you look at them at the ground, there are not too many smart heads or experienced heads there, players who could just control the game, who can go and give him a pat and say, \u2018Boss, just wait, hang on for ten seconds, tie your laces up\u2019,\u201d Rayudu said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rayudu felt wicketkeeper Sanju Samson was too far away from the action to make a real impact in that situation and said someone needed to interrupt Kamboj\u2019s thought process before things got worse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMaybe ask him, \u2018Do you think a slower ball can work? Do you think we can bowl a yorker now?\u2019 Just change his chain of thought. Don\u2019t let him get lost in that moment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite the expensive spell, Rayudu defended Kamboj and said the young pacer had simply run into two batters in outstanding form.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMaybe ask him, \u2018Do you think a slower ball can work? Do you think we can bowl a yorker now?\u2019 Just change his chain of thought. Don\u2019t let him get lost in that moment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>Earlier, CSK posted 187\/5 thanks to Kartik Sharma\u2019s 71 and an unbeaten 32 from Shivam Dube. But Marsh and Josh Inglis put on a 135-run opening stand to take the game away from CSK and hurt their playoff hopes badly. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
