How long did CSK's Strategy Meetings for Finals Last? Top IPL Player shares Inside information!

IPL Finals, a Star Sports show takes cricket fans back to the finales of the last 12 editions of the league. Wicketkeeper- Batsmen, Parthiv Patel spoke about his experience with Chennai Super Kings during the 2008 campaign. 

While speaking about his experience, he told that "team meetings used to last for 2 minutes. In the 2008 final, the CSK team meeting led by Dhoni lasted for 2 minutes and I am sure it lasted for 2 minutes in 2019 also. Dhoni was always clear in what he wanted from his players. I learned a lot in 2008 from watching players like Michael Hussey, Stephen Fleming and Mathew Hayden, how they get ready for big matches and how they prepare."

When asked about the changes that have taken place in IPL over the recent years, he said, "IPL has changed a lot. There are more tactics, analytics and strategies. We used to aim for 30 to 36 runs in the last 5 overs of batting. Now scoring 50 to 60 runs in the last five overs of the first innings is the new normal."

He also added that "Dhoni was always clear about his team combinations and the role each player had to play in the squad.”
